Heart of the Village Inn Bed & Breakfast

In the heart of the historic village of Shelburne, Vermont, our cozy and comfortable Bed and Breakfast welcomes you. Built in 1886 by a prosperous merchant, Cyrus Van Vliet, this handsome Queen Anne Victorian has retained its prominence as one of the centerpieces of the Village, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The main house has two living rooms for reading, chatting, or just relaxing in overstuffed chairs. The Inn's wrap around porch is a lovely spot to sip early morning coffee, late afternoon tea or a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful perennial garden. In the Carriage Barn there is a reading loft for a moment of privacy or a special visit with a friend or loved one.
