What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A fixture in Vermont’s Woodstock Valley for nearly two centuries, the Kedron Valley Inn is a perfect example of 19th-century character adapted to 21st-century life.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The South Woodstock Country Store sits next door, while over a hundred miles of trails wind into the surrounding hills.
The rooms
Rooms across the 1828 brick house keep their antique furnishings and original hearths alongside modern bathrooms.
The swimming pond
The two-acre spring-fed swimming pond sits on the eleven-acre grounds, with a sandy beach and a swimming dock.
Restaurant
Ransom Tavern
Cooks slide Neapolitan pizzas into a domed brick oven, and the bar pours craft cocktails and wine.
How it began
Richard Ransom Jr. built the brick inn in 1828, and the property later sheltered travelers along the Underground Railroad.
