The White House
of Wilmington
Bed and Breakfast and Restaurant

The White House of Wilmington is a Victorian mansion that offers you elegant yet relaxed surroundings in Wilmington Vermont.

The house was built as a summer home in 1915 for the wealthy lumber baron, Martin Brown. The magnificent structure, with 14 fireplaces, crafted French doors and two-storied terraces supported by soaring pillars, is as timeless and lovely as the surrounding Green Mountains.

The Inn's 23 lodging accommodations, each equipped with private bath, are beautifully furnished with period pieces complimentary to an exclusive New England Country Inn. Guest enjoy amenities such as spacious rooms, fireplaces, balconies or terraces, or large whirlpool tubs. The Victorian brass and crystal light fixtures, beautiful woodwork, antiques, and even some of the home's original wallpaper (which was printed in France in 1912) give the feeling of turn-of-the-century grandeur.

The three intimate dining rooms continue the pronounced Victorian theme of The White House Inn Restaurant and are the perfect surroundings in which you will enjoy an evening of award-winning gourmet dining. The menu is a creative collage of classic Continental dishes. The extensive variety of appetizers and entrees are meticulously prepared to please the most demanding gourmet.

The lower level of the Inn has been transformed into a refreshing and invigorating spa, which includes a whirlpool and sauna bath, suntan room and a small, indoor heated swimming pool. The White House's southern Vermont location is ideal for enjoying the numerous four-season activities in the area. In addition to outstanding downhill skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mount Snow and Haystack, there is on-premise a highly rated cross-country touring center with 45 kilometers of thoughtfully groomed trails gliding over high meadows and forested valleys. The trails range from novice to advanced. Instructors are on hand to provide you with any necessary aid and advice. Facilities include a full service rental shop.

Also on the grounds in a 60-foot in-ground swimming pool which offers a refreshing retreat on a summer's day. The formal flower garden accents a heavily blossomed rose arbor and water fountain. You will also enjoy the natural beauty of Beaver Brook surrounding the White House. Summer activities you may enjoy abound on pristine Lake Whitingham where swimming, canoe and paddleboat rentals are available. Perhaps a round of golf at the 18-hole courses of Haystack and Mount Snow, biking at Mount Snow, the mountain biker's home throughout all of New England, or tennis at one of the many surrounding courts.

Set on the crest of a high, rolling hill and surrounded by towering hardwoods and formal flower gardens, it's readily obvious why the Boston Herald and New York Times selected this Vermont bed and breakfast and country inn as "one of the ten most romantic places in the world."

The White House has been featured in Yankee Magazine and Country Decorating and shown on the Good Morning America & P.M. Magazine programs. The Mobil Travel Guide rated the Inn with three stars "Excellent" for both dining and lodging. The Boston Herald exclaims, "One of the ten most romantic places in the world." The New York Times holds, "In the Mount Snow area, the White House is known for its superior accommodations." They can accommodate up to 150 people for beautiful weddings and consider themselves "Southern Vermont's premier wedding facility." With rave reviews, first-class accommodations, mouth-watering dishes, bountiful activities and quality service, it's no wonder why so many love to come back to the White House time and time again.
