Woodstock Inn & Resort

Character and identity

Set across from the village green in a New England postcard of covered bridges and white steeples, the Woodstock Inn occupies a grand Victorian-style property rebuilt by the Rockefellers in the late 1960s and refreshed through a $6.5 million room renovation in 2018. The 142 rooms lean into Vermont craftsmanship: cherry wood frames, Anichini sheets, butter yellow and aqua palettes, botanical prints. The Red Rooster anchors the dining, supplied by the three-acre Kelly Way Gardens, with a historic tavern and bar rounding out the options. A 10,000-square-foot Scandi-inspired spa, golf, nordic trails, and an athletic club sit minutes away. Service carries genuine small-town warmth.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What sets this property apart is the rare combination of genuine village immersion, a serious farm program at Kelly Way Gardens, and a service culture that still feels personal. Book a Tavern wing room for the writing desk and built-ins, or a Collection room if the themed Vermontiana appeals; aim for foliage season or deep winter, and watch the website for nordic and ski packages.
