Historic Elegance

From the moment you enter this late Victorian country home, you are surrounded by gracious elegance and warm hospitality.  In 1890 William W Stickney built this house on the village green in Ludlow as a present for his bride Lizzie, ten years before becoming Governor of Vermont. He lived on Main Street until his death in the 1930's.

Today the governor's home is an inn -- a stylish, romantic Victorian country house with eight guest rooms, each with its own antiques. All guest rooms have private baths.

Common Rooms include a spacious foyer with fireplace and a whispering alcove, a living room with an ornate slate fireplace, dining and breakfast rooms, a TV room with guest computer, and a den with beer and wine service. Of course, there's a porch for stomping off snow in the winter and for rocking in summer.
