Item Description

A two-night stay (certificate is good anytime based on availability, through December 31, 2017), at the Snapdragon Inn, a nine-room historic Inn in Windsor, Vermont, that was the family home of famed editor Maxwell Perkins (editor, mentor and friend of, among others, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and Ernest Hemingway).  The Snapdragon Inn is a highly sought after Inn with impeccable reviews and the winner for the past five consecutive years of TripAdvisor’s “Certificate of Excellence.”

Comfort, pure and simple.
That’s what we offer at Snapdragon Inn. Join us for a relaxing getaway and explore the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. Take a stroll around Lake Runnemede right here in our backyard or visit picturesque Woodstock, Vermont or Hanover, New Hampshire next door. With views of Mt. Ascutney, covered bridges everywhere, and Dartmouth just across the Connecticut River, there is so much to see and do.

A grand and historic brick home, reborn as an inn.  At Snapdragon Inn, we celebrate the beauty of our surroundings, and want to make your stay as relaxing as possible.  Nine private bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom.
