A comfortable New England bed and breakfast inn with the gracious elegance of an earlier time.

Centerpiece of the quiet village of Hyde Park, Vermont, just nine miles from the world-class resort of Stowe, Vermont, the fully-restored historic mansion offers the quintessential New England holiday. Perfect for a Vermont honeymoon or romantic weekend getaway, it is also ideal for family reunions, intimate weddings, or simply enjoying the fall foliage or sleigh rides in the scenic countryside. Charm and luxury abound inside this distinctive inn furnished with antiques, bedroom fireplaces, and a well-stocked library, but the Green Mountains will beckon offering skiing, hiking, dogsledding, snowshoeing, fly fishing, and glider rides to name a few. Adjacent to the bike trail along the scenic Lamoille River which doubles in winter as part of the VAST trail, it's an easy stop while biking or by snowmobile.

In 1893 Vermont Governor Carroll S. Page built the house for his family on the bluff in Hyde Park not far from his boyhood home. A copy of the 1759 Georgian house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, known as the Longfellow House, it also had the latest gas lighting fixtures, a drinking fountain of Vermont marble, and made-to-order mirrored mantle-pieces. For modern comfort we've added in-room high speed internet, cable TV, and VCR/DVD players and a fully handicapped accessible room with a private porch and garden. Many original details have survived the century and the house has been restored and decorated to preserve the gracious elegance of an earlier time.

So when you're ready for a very comfortable stay, come to The Governor's House in Hyde Park and back to a time when warm bread and cookies come straight from the oven and maple syrup comes straight from the tree.

HYDE PARK IS JUST NINE MILES FOM STOWE WITH GREAT SKIING AND A MULTITUDE OF RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND CULTURAL EVENTS.
