2 Best Hotels in Central Vermont, Vermont

Behind a somewhat bland prefab exterior lies an eclectic boutique experience, thanks in large part to the virtual curiosity cabinet of exotic (or faux exotic) knickknacks stuffed throughout the premises, brought by the Africa-based owners. The space also offers an impressive range of amenities, including an arcade, toddler room, indoor pool, sauna, bar, restaurant, gift shop, and more.

Many rooms in this immaculate motel have decks, and most have fabulous views of Ottauquechee River, which runs right along the building. The rooms are simple—a step above usual motel fare—with four-poster beds and wing chairs; rooms in the annex known as the Cape have hot tubs.
