Juniper Hill Inn

Juniper Hill Inn is a unique & historic Vermont bed and breakfast located in the small town of Windsor - minutes from Woodstock, VT. The Inn was built in 1902 as a comfortable country home for a captain of industry, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Most inns claim to be romantic destinations: In 1997 Juniper Hill Inn was named a "Romantic Hideaway by the Descerning Traveler". Juniper Hill Inn has been featured in the "Boston Globe" for weddings and romantic escapes. You may read about us in "Best Places to Kiss in New England", "Best Places to Stay in New England", "Recommended Country Inns of New England", "Vermont Life" or many more magazines and premiere guidebooks.

Windsor is a quaint village famous for being the birthplace of Vermont. It sits on the banks of the Connecticut River, just a short drive from Woodstock, VT and Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. We're also centrally located to many attractions, including Quechee Gorge, Okemo Ski Resort, Ascutney Mountain, and Lake Runnemede.

We are pleased to have been voted INNKEEPERS OF THE YEAR by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce 2008-2009! On Oct 3, 2010 we received the OWL AWARD OF EXCELLENCE for Best Business in the State of

Vermont for Community & Global Outreach.
Our hilltop setting affords our guests spectacular views of both Ascutney Mountain and Lake Runnemede, and our manicured lawns, colorful gardens, and outdoor patio area provide the ideal atmosphere in which to enjoy them. Evening walks and informal gatherings are both popular activities at our Vermont bed and breakfast in the spring, summer, and fall.
The lovely surroundings also make us a fashionable destination for Vermont weddings. The fact that our landscape is bigger than most VT inns means that we can handle both small and large occasions, each with equal poise and flair. We have been featured in “The Best Places to Kiss in New England” and have been selected as a “Romantic Hideaway” by the “Discerning Traveler”. Call or email us for more details on how we can make your special day even more extraordinary.
Our guests start each day with a full cooked-to-order country breakfast. This hearty meal is included in the cost of your room and is provided in Madelyn's Dining Room. This is the very room that President Teddy Roosevelt and President Calvin Coolidge dined making Juniper Hill one of the most historic New England inns. Our new a la carte menu features local Vermont fresh products and an amazing assortment of regional specialities that highlight the bounty and essence of New England. If you are looking for a fine Woodstock restaurant or Windsor restaurant or Hanover restaurant our historic and romantic inn should be at the top of your list.
Our dinners are served Thursday through Monday evenings with reservations taken from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. If you decide to dine outside of the inn, Windsor area restaurants offer other choices such as the Windsor Station Pub set in the historic train station with great pub food, Yummy Yummy Chinese for a little international flavor, great pizza at the Pizza Chef, and additional options for fine dining at the Inn at Weathersfield and Home Hill Inn in Weathersfield, Vermont and Cornish, New Hampshire respectively. Allow us to assist you in create a dining adventure that matches your tastes and regional destinations.

The guest rooms in our bed and breakfast complement the rest of the property in both elegance and privacy. Many of the rooms feature working fireplaces, private balconies, and antique, claw-footed soaking tubs. Each room is individually decorated with period wallpapers, four poster or canopy beds, and charming antiques. We take pride in adding the thoughtful touches that make a real difference in your stay – fresh flowers, crystal glassware, decanters of sherry - all are examples of how we can accentuate your VT romantic getaways.
Windsor provides the ideal location for a surfeit of activities, and Juniper Hill Inn provides the ideal bed and breakfast accommodations. Whether you’re here to enjoy the New England fall foliage, cross country or downhill skiing, canoeing, biking, fly fishing, horseback riding, shopping, or golf, we can make your stay a memorable one.
Please note that we are one of only a few pet friendly inns in Vermont and gladly welcome small dogs and their owners. Read more.
