Set on 2.28 acres with access to the scenic Williams River, the property combines classic Vermont character with exceptional hospitality infrastructure. Guests gather in multiple inviting spaces including a spacious main dining room, a cozier secondary dining area, and a lively tavern and bar, creating a warm and memorable destination for locals and travelers alike. A large rear deck overlooking the grounds and river provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, seasonal gatherings, and private celebrations.
