In the heart of the village; the birthplace of Vermont. The View From The Village 1853.

Cross the longest covered bridge in the United States to our old Vermont mill town where The Inn at Windsor has fireplaced bedchambers all with private baths, and a unique combination of hearty and delightful breakfasts. The Inn at Windsor is a collection of original late 18th and early 19th century buildings joined around a central open court yard. Underground stone chambers, messages from the past, mysterious rooms and elegant "Indian Shuttered" parlors are part of an intensive historical and architectural fabric that was woven around an important Vermont family in Vermont's most historic town.

The vibrant 1786 homestead of an early American patriot and physician, The Inn at Windsor sits on a plateau overlooking the heart of the village of Windsor, the seat of colonial power in Vermont as well as being the virtual capital of the 1777-1791 Republic of Vermont, which was an independent country.

From just beyond our gardens, mature and majestic white pines and a giant red oak frame a panoramic mountain landscape. Indoors or outside, enjoy a sumptuous breakfast or an evening glass of wine with a view to Windsor's "Almost Volcano". Mt. Ascutney, which towers above the Connecticut valley landscape. Walk a few hundred yards across the village bandstand green and down to a spring-fed lake nestled beneath an old growth forest nature preserve loaded with babbling brooks and beavers, huge turtles and Canada geese. A rushing stream finally leads to a cascading waterfall that has carved a deep pool out of solid stone.

"The View from the Breakfast Tables"

Down from our hill in the other direction, a path leads through a forested area to the Old Mill Brook with its 1834 Ascutney Mill Dam, the oldest and largest stone dam in the country. Follow the brook downstream to the 1846 Robbins and Lawrence Armory which is now a museum showcasing America's second revolution. Unexpected 18th century mill sites, pools and waterworks follow the brook to the Connecticut River, a few hundred yards away where the longest covered bridge in the United States connects Vermont to New Hampshire.
