The West Hill House Bed and Breakfast Inn is an 1850's
Vermont home situated on a quiet country lane, in the heart of
the Green Mountains and the Mad River Valley.
Here you can enjoy many activities year 'round. The Inn is

Sugarbush Ski slopes and adjacent to its Robert Trent Jones
Golf Course and cross-country ski center.

Lovely perennial gardens, meadows, a beaver pond, and
splendid views of nearby mountains can be admired from the
bed and breakfast's front porch. The bed and breakfast's
gardens, two landscaped ponds, and unusual birch tree
gazebo are on the annual Art in the Garden Tour, part of
the Festival of the Arts. |
