The Inn at Essex

Frommer's Review

Touted as "Vermont's Culinary Resort," this inn makes a persuasive case for that claim: Its chefs come straight from the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier. The 120 rooms are every bit as impressive, and 20 acres of grounds on a majestic hillside setting enhance the experience of staying here; it's not just about the food. Rooms and suites are fitted with reproduction furniture and decked in flowery wallpaper and bed covers; many are further gussied up by fireplaces, CD players, Jacuzzis, four-poster beds, and even rocking chairs or full kitchens with Hearthstone gas stoves, in some cases. There's also a heated outdoor pool. The inn's two restaurants, Butler's and The Tavern , offer unparalleled cuisine in both casual and formal settings.

Facilities:
