Vermont has amazingly personal and luxury inns and B&Bs, with many just a few miles away from popular ski resorts.

If you’re looking for a luxury room this fall or winter, it helps to know your options – especially when some of those options are some of the best in the state. With fine dining a primary part of the experience, these inns and bed-and-breakfasts offer a one-of-a-kind experience — and with skiing and riding just minutes away.
