This exquisite, three-story, neo-Georgian (circa 1915) looks out over a substantial lawn and a wonderful old stone wall. All rooms are light and bright, and several have bay windows, gas fireplaces, and jetted tubs; two cottages in back overlook a pond.
In the heart of North Bennington, just around the corner from three covered bridges and Bennington College, this impeccably maintained, 18th-century three-bedroom house is a great value. One room has a four-poster bed, a double shower, and great light. Ask about the midweek dinner package, another excellent deal.
Built in 1937, this fully renovated roadside motel has been given a distinct artsy, boutique upgrade by a foursome of new owners, three of whom are working artists, which translates into a sculpture garden out front, regular workshops by a resident artist, and performances on the red stage on the vast, hammock-dappled back lawn. Rooms are constrained to historical dimensions, but feel fresh, modern, and modestly stylish.
Originally built for banker Louis A. Graves, this beautiful Victorian is a cozy and intimate B&B that looks like a regular house from the outside. Grab a book from the library and read while relaxing on the couch by the fireplace in the winter, or enjoy the summer breeze on the porch with a nice cup of coffee in the morning. The bedrooms are filled with classic, old-school charm with vintage pieces and colorful wallpaper giving each room unique character.
