Our Federal style inn stands on the beautiful Dorset Green. The quiet life of this New England village goes on outside our windows, inviting our guests to join in for a while, or merely to observe. We continue this traditional lifestyle with peaceful rooms and friendly informality.

The eleven guest bedrooms and private baths at the Dovetail Inn are charming and comfortable, each with its own personality. We offer breakfast in the privacy of your room or in our keeping room. Three fine restaurants within an easy walk of our inn offer varied opportunities for superb dining.

Winter offers world class skiing at Bromley and Stratton, a short drive away. Cross country trails abound in the neighborhood for novice and expert.

Spring brings our gardens alive and the trout jumping in the famous Battenkill and Mettowee Rivers.

Summertime guests enjoy nearby championship golf, the wonderful Dorset Theatre Festival, Southern Vermont Art Center and the Vermont Symphony.

Autumn brings crisp nights, clear days and all the glory of the Green Mountains in full color. It's the perfect time of year for antiquing, biking or strolling the lovely country roads.

And, every season is shopping season at quaint Vermont shops and fine designer outlets.

We invite you to stay awhile with us and experience the pleasures of Vermont.
