Sense and Sensibility

Posted by Suzanne Boden - October 16, 2017 - Innkeeper's Blog, Uncategorized

I want to pass along information about a production of Sense and Sensibility, timely for us as in January we start series 11 of our Jane Austen weekends with Sense and Sensibility as the theme. The stage play is getting rave reviews and I’m hoping some of you may get to enjoy it. Here’s what […]

Jane Austen Weekends made the News

Posted by Suzanne Boden - September 25, 2017 - Innkeeper's Blog

We had two journalists visiting the Governor’s House this summer. Julia Shipley from Seven Days participated in the August Pride and Prejudice weekend and wrote a lovely piece for their State of the Arts section which you can view online here.  And Melanie Stetson Freeman, a staff photographer from The Christian Science Monitor, joined us […]

Words to celebrate Jane Austen’s Life

Posted by Suzanne Boden - September 25, 2017 - Innkeeper's Blog

To mark this important year for Jane Austen and our thoughts on her short life (December 16, 1775 – July 18, 1817), I offered the remaining places at any weekend through September at half price to anyone who wrote a eulogy, poem or very short story to be read at the weekend. Several guests accepted […]

Jane Austen, December 16, 1775 – July 18, 1817

Posted by Suzanne Boden - July 5, 2017 - Innkeeper's Blog

I’ve been thinking that I should do something to recognize this important year and month for Jane Austen. But it’s been difficult to come up with an appropriate idea, something serious enough for our thoughts of a short life ( December 16, 1775 to July 18, 1817) not to mention the possibility of the more […]

Encountering Jane Austen

Posted by Suzanne Boden - June 15, 2015 - Innkeeper's Blog

After a tough Vermont winter and a serious bout of flu what form of R and R would be good before getting back to the 24/7 business of running a small inn? As is so often the case, a little Jane Austen seemed like a good plan. I’d been noticing how amazingly often JA is […]

Theater Tea at the Inn

Posted by Suzanne Boden - March 26, 2014 - Innkeeper's Blog

The calendar may say it’s spring, but the ground around the inn here in Vermont is still covered with knee-high snow and sitting close to a warm fire is still very appealing. But yesterday as I walked along a street in the village I could hear the plink, plink, plink of maple sap beginning to […]

New Season and New Ideas

Posted by Suzanne Boden - February 27, 2014 - Innkeeper's Blog

It’s been very busy this winter at the Governor’s House in Hyde Park with weddings, birthday parties, Downton Abbey inspired etiquette dinners, afternoon tea, a Jane Austen weekend, and celebrations of Valentine’s Day, not to mention the usual weekend getaways and cross-country skiing. But plans are now underway for next year’s schedule and a few […]

Jane Austen on NIGHTLINE

Posted by Suzanne Boden - November 20, 2013 - Innkeeper's Blog

Although I may never get away to the festival in Bath in busy September, my annual post-October long-weekend in London this year was very Jane Austenish. I arrived in time for the opening of the new exhibit at the British Library, Georgians Revealed: Life, Style, and the Making of Modern Britain, on until March 11, […]

Vermont elopement in English or français or both at once

bride and groom kiss after their wedding at the Governor's House

When I opened the inn I had no thought of hosting weddings. But the Governor’s House is a wonderful setting for a small wedding and there were many requests. I found that I enjoyed being part of that special occasion and trying to make it truly special. We have had hundreds of couples get married […]

Lavender for the Governor’s House

Posted by Suzanne Boden - November 4, 2013 - Innkeeper's Blog

One of the very nicest B&B’s I found while on a hiking vacation in New Zealand had a wonderful sparkling clean bathroom with a huge multi-jet shower, a whirlpool tub, warm towels, and two sinks. But the best thing about the bathroom was the lavender amenities – local products of very good quality that smelled […]
