2 Best Hotels in Bennington, Southern Vermont

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.
