Come to the Fitch Hill Inn and discover a taste of the past in a history-filled home, built circa 1797 in Hyde Park, Vermont. Fitch Hill Inn is a AAA Three Diamond Bed and Breakfast in a home built by Darius Fitch.

The land was a wedding gift from his father Jabez, an original proprietor of Hyde Park and a Captain during the War for Independence. The home has served as part of a working farm, been used as a school house, and has been a country inn for a decade and a half. The Inn sits on a hill top 1/4 mile off VT Rtes 15 & 100, with spectacular views in a quiet and picturesque setting on over three acres of land.

Each guest room has its own special flavor and all have private baths. The Quebec Country Room, a sunny, south-facing room, offers an iron Victorian full-sized bed with a Vermont-made Millenium Star quilt. The Massachusetts Room can be configured with two twin beds or a king-size bed (with extra padding so the princess won't feel the pea) and has Vermont-made Northern Star quilts. The Vermont Federal Room has a queen-sized canopy bed and The New York Room has a queen-sized pencil post bed. You may want to try The New Hampshire Suite with its beautiful mural, queen-size sleigh bed, two-person whirlpool tub, sleeper sofa, TV/VCR, wet bar, and gas fireplace. The Green Mountain Suite, on the ground floor, has a queen bed with a Vermont-made Log-Cabin quilt, two-person whirlpool tub, sleeper sofa, gas fireplace, TV/VCR, refrigerator, microwave, and private deck.

Breakfast is a special event, including fresh fruit, homemade muffins, and a main course such as Stuffed French Toast with Blueberry Sauce or Egg Strata with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and bacon. You hosts are happy to accommodate any dietary needs and we serve breakfast at a time convenient to you.

Relax on the two covered porches and the deck and enjoy views of the Green Mountains (and valleys) or the Inn's gardens and woods. If the weather is not amenable for outdoor activities or relaxing, you can read or play games in the living room or watch a movie from our 200 tape collection in the TV room. "We want you to make yourselves at home." Come and relax away from the hubbub of everyday life, or just rest up after a busy day enjoying Vermont's wonderful outdoor activities and shopping.

The Fitch Hill Inn is 12 miles north of Stowe Village, about 1/2 hour from Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers' Notch Resort, and about 40 minutes from Jay Peak Resort. The Inn's proximity to Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, and Cabot Creamery allows for a tasty afternoon trip. Antique stores abound, and there are a number of art galleries and craft shops in the area. Sleigh or carriage rides are available, or take a trip on horseback, hike the Long Trail or Mount Elmore, or ski the Catamount Trail. Canoe or kayak on the Lamoille River, Lake Elmore or the Green Mountain Reservoir.
