Best Boutique Hotels in the Green Mountains

This clean, airy boutique hotel gives you easy access to the heart of Vermont’s Queen City – Burlington. Being right in Downtown, it’s walking distance to all our favorite main attractions. We think you’ll find it a very Vermont experience – simple and effortlessly stylish, with zero pretensions and a welcoming air. You can be out and about in the fresh Lake Champlain air all day, and in the evening find yourself in the natural comfort of crisp white sheets and warm wooden accents. We find the lobby at Hotel… > Read Our Full Review

If you’re looking for a Vermont vacation, Woodstock is an excellent target, and this boutique hotel can offer a nicely laid-back time in the heart of the state. Many nearby hotels have either dialed the luxury up to an all-inclusive, prix-fixe dinner kind, or offer beds and a shower and not much else. We find Kedron Valley Inn is a nice middle ground, a gorgeous historical property with more focus on the charming grounds than on the extra frills. It features a collection of buildings constructed, damaged, renovated, and added… > Read Our Full Review

To say this Killington, Vermont boutique hotel is in the middle of nowhere might sound a bit dramatic, but there really isn’t much around here bar just about everything we’d want in a Vermont vacation – deep green forests, rolling hills, and lazy lakeside sunsets. The Mountain Meadows Lodge has capitalized on all to make the perfect mountain valley retreat. It’s all nature, all the time, and endlessly relaxing. It’s pretty much made for the outdoorsy, 5 miles to the nearest ski slopes, and only the Appalachian Trail between you… > Read Our Full Review

This Vermont boutique hotel is a gorgeous historical property and a recent darling of Conde Nast’s top New England hotels list. A bit out of the way for Green Mountains tourism maybe but this 200-year old inn is still definitely worth the drive. The entire town knows how beautiful the surrounding area is, and is leaning into a reputation for natural beauty. You’ll be surrounded by gorgeous arable land, famed country roads, deep forest and all the friendly Southern Vermont mountains. You’ll also enjoy the long-lived and top-class hospitality of… > Read Our Full Review

Once again, we follow Lark Hotels through New England, now to the outskirts of Stowe, Vermont. This, the Tälta Lodge, is part of the hotel chain’s Bluebird group, a Scandinavian-inspired set of roadside hotels currently taking over the Northeast. The stylish yet youthful atmosphere is a welcome addition to sleepy mom-and-pop B&Bs and kitschy hunting lodges. A warm, cozy minimalism peppered with wood fireplaces and plenty of natural light leave the charm up to nature, which is more than up to the task. It’s ski country, and the roads are… > Read Our Full Review

We’re in the mountains now, and this Outbound boutique hotel, right outside Stowe, Vermont, will help you make the most of it. In more rural parts of New England, these outdoorsy hotel chains get their time in the spotlight. The Outbound chain has only a few other locations, over in the sprawling west around some of the country’s most famous national parks. This newest, East Coast iteration is sure to catch the eye of many a traveler before the year is out. It’s a high-quality, low-fanfare kind of establishment, with… > Read Our Full Review

You might not expect to find Rockefeller-level opulence in Woodstock, Vermont, but life is nothing if not full of surprises. If you picture Vermont’s Woodstock as a tiny, mellow version of New York’s flower child haven, you’d be wrong. It’s a fairly charming, relaxed little town with just enough bustle to stay interesting. And the hotel — it’s not the quaint Vermont style of mellow, though still decidedly relaxing in many aspects. Having served guests since 1793, it’s had plenty of time to perfect the level of hospitality. You’re looking… > Read Our Full Review

We love the Lark firm’s boutique chic Stowe hotels like the Field Guide Lodge, but this sister (cousin) property next door feels a little less trendy, and a bit more grown up, despite a common area that would look at home at your teenage summer camp. The Bluebird Hotels are marketed as properties ‘deeply rooted in their locations,’ most located in towns and cities with a flair for adventure. Bluebird Cady Hill is one of the best examples of this philosophy. The space is very house-ish, very ‘your stepmom’s timeshare,’… > Read Our Full Review

From the outside, the place feels a bit monotonous, if neat and tidy. Inside, however, you’ll find super-friendly, quite hip places to rest, revel, and prepare for… > Read Our Full Review

When we say ‘hidden gem,’ you might roll your eyes at the cliché, but it remains the best way to describe this Weston, Vermont boutique hotel. We didn’t make the rules, we just know that this place is a) in the middle of nowhere and b) totally worth the drive. The entire experience is a perfect combination of small rural town, surrounding forests and the absolute charm of the hotel. It occupies a gleaming white house off of Main Street, both unassuming and elegant at the same time. Once inside,… > Read Our Full Review

If you’re into seriously gorgeous historic houses, and quiet locales like Burlington Heights, this hotel might well be for you. Blind Tiger Burlington, one of New England hospitality titan Lark Hotel’s creations, is an upscale space full of personality that follows the group’s pro-local philosophy to a T. The neighborhood is super-residential, the 1881 Mansion tucked behind a horseshoe driveway. You’re surrounded by regular folk here, or rather, lucky Burlington locals enjoying super-easy access to Downtown. It’s got everything we’ve come to expect from a Lark property: easy relaxation, super-sophisticated… > Read Our Full Review
