If you're dreaming of a Vermont vacation or weekend, then I would urge you to try this part of Vermont. Norman Rockwell lived here for 14 years because of its beauty and charm. Though stores and houses are slowing chipping away at Vermont's rural beauty, this part of the country still retains what people dream of when they dream of New England.

The Inn sits way on top of a hill on a dirt road. The grounds of the Inn are really attractive as is the Inn itself. My husband and I and our 9 year old daughter spent two days here. At the bottom of the hill is the Battenkill River. A must trip here is the 2 hour tubing ride down this river. It flows along corn fields and under a covered bridge. We had a blast. (you can rent tubes at the Sports Quarter and they drop you off on the river) Another nice spot is the covered bridge and home where Norman Rockwell lived. We aalso visited the Norman Rockwell museum. Even though it's small, it's unique in that some of the townspeople he drew as children sometimes show up. This is a quiet and beautiful area. You won't find Mcdonald's or amusement parks.

We stayed in Wes Room at the Inn. It was huge. The main sitting room has chandeliers and a pretty good size kitchen. If you are looking for an "Inn" room I wouldn't recommend this room only because it's more like a well done and beautiful apt. Perfect choice for anyone who wants to cook and stay for a week. I didn't get to see the actual Inn rooms in the main building. Some people prefer not to stay in the building below the main Inn though it did look really nice.

The main Inn is really comfortable and beautiful. We were surprised that when we checked in - we didn't get a tour of the Inn nor were we told anything about the Inn. We were also surprised that there wasn't any old pictures of the Inn or any history written about it laying around. Whenever we went to breakfast or dinner, there wasn't anyone to greet us or seat us. It was kind of uncomfortable because we weren't sure of where to sit or even what room. The food was good.

I would recommend this Inn. My daughter loved the llamas and the wild rabbits we saw on the lawn. We had a great time. They also give you an african violet in memory of your trip. Nice touch!

This inn is an exceptional place. My husband and I have stayed at the inn for birthdays and anniversarys. The rooms are not fancy, but charming, the kind I want to stay in when visiting Vermont. The breakfasts and dinners served at your own private table, are the best to be found anywhere! Both breakfast and dinner have many offerings to choose from and during the cooler months you can eat by firelight. I will admit that we have driven over 3 hours on a Saturday just to eat dinner at the inn. The location is mountainside and very quiet but not too far away from Arlington and Manchester main attractions. Looking forward to our next visit.

My husband and I have stayed here a number of times, and every one was perfect. Great food, nice accomodations, beautiful countryside. We liked it so much we're thinking of returning for our upcoming 20th wedding anniversary.

We just returned from the West Mountain Inn and had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely incredible--a six course dinner and breakfast (complete with apple pie a la mode for dessert!) are included in the price of the room. The inn was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in room #10 which had a king-sized 4-poster bed, a loft and wood-burning fireplace. We were the only guests there at the time of check-in so we were able to see all of the rooms--all were very nice. If you go during the winter, don't miss the sledding! :) We can't wait to stay--and eat--there again.
