What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The guest rooms are looking fresh and contemporary, but without sacrificing any of the rustic coziness that made their name in the first place.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Newfane's shaded village green and historic courthouse sit out front, while walking trails climb the wooded hillside behind.
The rooms
Most rooms have working fireplaces and deep soaking tubs, looking out over the village green or private gardens.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Treatment rooms and a private steam room occupy a converted outbuilding. In season, massages move to a pavilion beside the pond.
Bar
1832 Tavern & Pub
Local craft beers pour on tap at the pub counter, and the dining room serves seasonal Vermont tavern fare.
How it began
General Pardon Kimball built the house in 1832, erecting four Ionic columns to mirror the county courthouse across the green.
