Located on the Village Green in the heart of Woodstock, Vermont, the Woodstock Inn & Resort offers warm New England hospitality amidst an atmosphere of country elegance and year-round recreation. Resort facilities include the award winning 10,000 square-foot Spa, Suicide Six Ski Area, the Resort’s Nordic Center, the Woodstock Country Club, and a 41,000 square foot Athletic Club. However, it’s the lavish details of the wood-burning fireplaces throughout the Resort, luxurious terrycloth bathrobes, and locally made furnishings that complete the picture of charm and comfort at the Woodstock Inn & Resort.


Location: Woodstock is a village that has been called the “prettiest small town in America.” Located in the Green Mountains near the center of the state, it has a population of some 3,300 and serves as the social and economic center for several surrounding towns. The 18th and 19th century homes lining the streets of this quintessential New England town are classic examples of the colonial architecture for which this area is known. Antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and specialty food markets fill the downtown area.

Facilities: The Woodstock Inn & Resort has 142 guest rooms, all outfitted in classic Vermont style with modern touches, from Vermont original artwork, to central air-conditioning and luxurious mattresses on clean-lined wooden furniture. The uniquely appointed rooms and suites celebrate an inherently Vermont experience.

Sip cocktails on the spacious back lawn and enjoy the granite fire pit behind the Inn or take a dip in the outdoor heated swimming pool. Indulge in AAA Four-Diamond dining in either of the two year-round restaurants: The Red Rooster and Richardson’s Tavern. Both feature items from local farms and produce picked from the Resort’s own organic garden. The seasonal menus are perfectly complemented by an extensive domestic and international wine list. The welcoming lobby is comfortably furnished with multiple seating areas and features a 10-foot fieldstone fireplace at its center. The Inn’s Gift Shop offers Vermont-made home goods, crafts, and food products as well as sportswear and unique gift items.

The luxurious 10,000 square-foot Spa is set against the Resort’s private lawn, with an interior walkway from the main Inn. Relax in 10 treatment rooms, tranquil men’s and women’s lounges and steam rooms, the light-filled Great Room with a shaker woodstove, and the enclosed outdoor courtyard featuring a Scandinavian-style sauna and a whirlpool. The reception and retail space includes a comfortable seating area with a wood-burning fireplace and a salon. Guests can choose from a wide selection of treatments performed by specially trained and licensed therapists. The Spa’s menu includes massages, facials, body treatments, beauty services, and a selection of treatments specifically for men and teens. Each season a featured signature treatment will take center stage among the sizeable array of year-round spa offerings.

The Woodstock Country Club, just a five-minute walk from the Inn along South Street, is the site of the oldest golf course in Vermont, dating back to 1895. The 18-hole course was redesigned in the 1960s by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Head to the driving range, practice greens, and fully equipped Golf Shop before hitting the links. Take advantage of the professional staff who will provide in-depth instruction. The Country Club’s dining room, lounge, and ballroom are located on the second floor. Additionally, outdoor decks provide seasonal dining and cocktails overlooking the pristine golf course. All facilities are open to the public.

The Resort’s Athletic Club is located at the southern end of the golf course, approximately one mile south of the village. The 41,000 square foot facility features a collection of fitness studios including indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a beautiful movement studio, a 30-by-60 foot indoor lap pool, a whirlpool, TechnoGym Equipment, Pilates room, a steam room, and a sauna. The Athletic Club building is fully air-conditioned or take your workout outside to the Knox Meadow Fitness Loop. You can also utilize the large field for games of softball and kickball.

In the winter months head to the trails of the Woodstock Nordic Center, located on the golf course. Cross-country ski, snowshoe, and fatbike the trail networks on Mt. Peg and Mt. Tom. There’s over 60km of terrain to explore, including trails in the beautiful Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Professional instruction, equipment sales and rentals, and clothing are available at the ski shop. Trail maps are also available, with each section rated as to skiing ability: beginner, intermediate, and expert.

The Woodstock Inn & Resort’s own Suicide Six Ski Area opened in 1937, just a few years after the first ski tow in the United States was rigged up just over the ridge at Gilbert’s Hill. The area’s signature trail, The Face challenged a generation of skiers as the sport grew in the 1940s and 1950s, with the very best alpinists in the country racing the slope. Suicide Six has since evolved into a friendly and personal ski area that caters to families and local skiers. Two chair lifts and a J-bar serve 24 trails. Fully automated snowmaking helps when Mother Nature falls behind on the snow supply. The world-class Ski & Ride School is the longest operated program in the country and teaches all ages the joy of skiing and snowboarding. In the Base Lodge you can find gear and unique merchandise in the Ski Shop, grab a bite in the cafeteria or have a sit-down meal and cocktails in the slope-side Perley’s Pourhouse. Full and half-day lift tickets are available, as well as season passes. There is terrain for skiers of all levels – beginner, intermediate, expert – and the Base Lodge is perfectly located for spectators as well, with a full view of The Face and the lower ends of all the trails.

Activities: Along with the sports facilities offered, guests can visit the resort’s Activity Center for even more recreation suggestions! The Woodstock area is ripe with hiking trails, local shops, nearby points of interest such as Calvin Coolidge’s birthplace in Plymouth (also home to a cheese factory), or the spectacular Quechee Gorge. Woodstock also boasts Vermont’s only National Historical Park, which opened in June 1998. The Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park carries with it a message of conservation stewardship and operates in partnership with the Billings Farm & Museum – a working dairy farm that mirrors rural life in Vermont in the late 1800s. Dartmouth College is only a 30-minute drive from Woodstock and the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts at the college offers evenings of music, theater, art exhibits, and other cultural events. The equine world is important in the area and the Green Mountain Horse Association in South Woodstock is active in providing competition in various categories of riding, including driving, jumping, and dressage. Whatever adventure you have in mind, the Woodstock area will deliver!

History: Travelers and local residents alike have been welcomed to the present site of the Woodstock Inn & Resort since 1793 when Captain Israel Richardson opened Richardson’s Tavern. The Tavern changed hands a number of times over the course of the next 100 years. Several additions were made as well as some name changes, including Church’s Hotel and the Eagle Hotel. In 1891, an entirely new structure was built to replace the old building and the establishment was named the Woodstock Inn. In 1969, Laurance S. Rockefeller purchased the property and, with the 1891 building being beyond restoration, built the present Inn, which opened in November 1969.

Transportation: Woodstock is a 20-minute drive from the airport at Lebanon, New Hampshire, which is served by a number of commuter airlines from Boston, New York, and Burlington, Vermont. Interstates 89 (from the Boston area) and 91 (from Hartford, Connecticut) intersect only 15 minutes from Woodstock.
