The White House Inn

"What a wonderful place for R&R. So my wife and I went on a spare of the moment road trip to the New England states. My planned trip was to drive through southern Vermont and without any reservations to stay anywhere. It was getting dark out and driving though the mountains on Vermont Highway 9. As we drove out of Wilmington, my wife saw the White House Inn. She said that place looks really nice. As I turned around and drove up the driveway, the Inn is beautifully lit up with bright lights and made it look so inviting. We went inside and Gaby greeted us. She explained the Inn to us and what they had to offer with rooms. We decided to stay the evening and so happy we did. Our room was beautiful with old style furniture. The bathroom shower was updated with current fixtures and full luxury tile. We also enjoyed dinner at Clara's (please see my restaurant review). The next morning as we woke up, we saw a fabulous mountain view. I went downstairs to get coffee for us and was greeted by Tara. It was quiet and quaint. Breakfast was fantastic, sitting in a room with white table cloths. My wife and I ended up staying again 2 nights later. They have a great bar and the bartender Mike made us laugh. The Inn keeper, Adam, was the best. I can't express enough our gratitude and thankfulness to everyone at the White House Inn that made our stay so enjoyable. Although the White House Inn is a 14 hour drive from our home, it will be in our hearts and plan on going back and staying longer in the upcoming months."

"The hotel is situated on the top of a hill, giving guests a great view of downtown Wilmington. The inn has a very charming environment, especially during the winter months, when the fireplaces around the common areas are lit. Within the hotel, there is a restaurant with a formal dining room, bar area with seating, and a separate room with a fireplace to sit and drink beverages. The hotel also has a basement speakeasy (no bar is in service there), which boasts a beautiful wine cellar (used for private events), a pool table, and another fireplace with plenty of seating. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms were spacious, and wonderfully decorated. The food and service at the restaurant were also good (though a little slow). The restaurant is very pricey (mostly the drinks), and the food portions are on the smaller side."

"Timeless and welcoming place to stay. The best brunch and or dinner you will ever have. A real home away from home stay with a lovely mahogany lounge downstairs to enjoy television or billiards. Spa services offered downstairs! The owners are most friendly and accommodating, fantastic hosts. Innkeepers are on point!"

"The White House Inn never disappoints. Our room was clean, inviting and the view was amazing! Everyone working there was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. We had drinks at the bar and dinner, followed by brunch the next morning and everything was delicious. We can't wait to come back soon!"

"The moment you start the drive up the hill to the Inn you begin to step back in time. The views and grounds are all beautiful. The Inn was restored keeping all the original architecture and design. As you walk around the Inn, attention to detail of a bygone era is at every turn. The staff are very attentive and very professional. If you’re visiting Vermont and in this area, this is a must stop. Dinner a cocktail or a weekend getaway is a must."
