Kedron Valley Inn
South Woodstock, Vermont

One of Vermont's oldest inns, operating for over 168 years, the Kedron Valley Inn has been the setting for many romantic cotillions, weddings, and social extravaganzas where bedecked suitors whirled their ladies through contras and quadrilles. In the 1860s, it harbored fugitive slaves traveling the Underground Railroad to freedom.

Kedron Valley Inn Today, the inn's rural pace and scenic surroundings nestled on fifteen acres of rolling foothills of the Green Mountains offer a relaxing hideaway from the bustle of daily life.

Snuggle with someone special in a big canopy bed by a crackling wood fire. Stroll miles of secluded hiking trails holding hands. Soak up some sun on our man-made beaches then plunge in our private swimming lake. Spacious porches with rockers, and private decks and verandas invite lounging and dreaming.

Wander the back hills on horseback. Tune your tennis and golf games. Or search out antique treasures among our many shops. In winter, cross-country and downhill ski. The alpine areas of Killington, Okemo, Ascutney and Suicide Six are all within 40 minutes of the inn. In the evening relax with a horsedrawn sleigh ride.

Canopy Beds Just up the road, famous and picturesque Woodstock burgeons with art galleries, historic estates and eccentric nooks to explore.

All guest rooms have private bath and television. Most rooms have queen canopy beds. Many have wood-burning fireplaces or Franklin stoves. Several have private decks or terraces. The Celebration Suite has a jacuzzi for two.

Your Dining Experience
Our Contemporary American cuisine features fresh Vermont products and is tied for top honors in the state. Herbs are "just picked" from our garden, wild mushrooms are fresh from the nearby forest, delectable cheeses are made on a neighbor's farm. Seafood is flown in from Florida 24 hours after leaving the ocean. Sauces are luscious but light.

Individual tables overlook bulb and perennial gardens or crackling wood fires, and are accented by candlelight. Vivid heirloom quilts from the family collection brighten the airy ambience.

Your Wine Experience
Our wine list has won several Awards of Excellence. We offer unusual values from France, California, Australia, Germany, Washington, Oregon, Italy and South Africa. Nine different champagnes and sparkling wines help you celebrate special occasions.
