About this property

Vermont Cottage • Sleeps Five • Spectacular Mountain Views • Bed and Breakfast

Over 350 Five Star Reviews ▪ 100% Guest-Focused ▪ 72% Repeat Guests This Year!

Our picturesque mountain and pastural setting are nature’s greeting before you’re warmly greeted in the Main House Gathering Room where your days gently unfold at your leisure. As honored guests, our property quickly becomes your home.

Enjoy the pleasantly languid start to each day, then let adventures still unwritten take you further… We plan fascinating one-of-a-kind experiences according to the pleasure of our guests, but it’s those days when serendipity intervenes that create the most poignant and joyful memories.

Day Break, our legendary gourmet farm-to-table breakfasts are served al fresco at the Main House under our traditional rough-sawn timber frame pergola overlooking pastural gardens and lush undisturbed mountains…

Day’s End, peacefulness returns and easy conversations commence as daylight wanes—you’re comfortably seated in mountain-facing Adirondack chairs sharing stories from the day’s adventures watching eagles ride the mountain thermals…

We have a spectacular website and we publish a monthly newsletter that not only shows off all the cool stuff we do, but the incredible range of experiences available to all our guests, and wait until you see our menu! Our Inspiring Day Trips & Unique Itineraries are outstanding!

Our boutique inn provides a 24-hour concierge service to all our guests, ensuring a very personalized authentic Vermont experience not found anywhere else.

It’s Just Magical Here!

Garden Cottage Description

The Garden Cottage is like a private cabin in the woods situated in the slim pillars of pines—inviting, rustic yet delightfully comfortable open space that provides a sense of peace and tranquility. Cushioned sofa, an Amish Slat Mission Recliner and a vintage American Industrial Factory Cart Coffee Table with fifty-acre pasture views of playful deer and wild turkeys form a cozy living room.

It’s the twenty-foot ceiling that comfortably accommodates the massive antique 120 Drawer Hardware Store Apothecary and a serene Audubon painting above that completes the space. “It is the personal memories, sense of place and all the experiences that I will cherish forever that keep bringing us back.”

Review of Pond Mountain Inn

Kay and Glenn were super nice. Very accommodating to breakfast needs, and gave good recommendations of places to go. Kay made some amazing Blueberry pancakes in honor of my mom that passed. And now she makes amazing red velvet pancakes with icing. Coffee was different every day, and very knowledgeable of area. Will be coming back again. I am from Maine originally, so this felt like home. Very welcoming.

Great weekend

I highly recommend this property. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and exactly as described in the listing. The hosts are wonderful people who made us feel at home and very welcome. Glenn’s insight about the area was spot on. Kay’s cooking was incredible. It was a great way for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary.

About the host

Hosted by Kay or Glenn Dunn

Our inn has become an inspiring New England destination hosting over fifteen-hundred guests since we opened in 2013. Worldwide travelers for the past thirty years, we have accumulated over five-thousand-night stays in hotels spread across five continents. This experience has informed our understanding of both Eastern and Western hospitality—and a dedication to maintaining the highest international standards for hospitality and culinary excellence.

We are one of only three inns in Vermont that consistently receive five-star reviews. Additionally, we have one of the best breakfast menus in New England and our legendary gourmet farm-to-table breakfasts are served al fresco at the Main House terrace under the rough-sawn timber frame pergola surrounded by perennial gardens, early sheep pastures and lush undisturbed distant mountain views. “It’s just magical here, and one of the prettiest outside dining spots in Vermont!”

Kay and I are honored that you have considered our inn, and we are firmly committed to creating an extraordinary stay for you and your family. Our home is truly your home—returning guests affectionately call this their second home!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to return to New England and find a traditional antique reproduction home and property with expansive views. Our home rises from a country dirt-road nestled against lush Pond Mountain with dramatic neighboring views of Northeast Mountain – beyond the great lawn the property border to the north has visible remnants of a long-standing farmers stonewall that leads to our neighbor’s beautiful pond, expansive meadows and a distant antique farm house. We almost expect to see Norman Rockwell standing next to me with his farmers’ basket of produce suitable for his next canvas.

What makes this property unique

You’ll have the most exceptional al fresco breakfast experience… Vibrant local produce, with an innovative menu and a convivial atmosphere distills the spirit of Vermont into each artfully prepared dish—each as gorgeous as the mountain views… simply unforgettable.

We are Travel Done Differently… Pond Mountain Inn offers a curated collection of ten day-trips itineraries that Vermont visitors may never experience. Authentic experiences that evoke lasting memories… One of our frequent guests once remarked, “The drive is as exciting as the destination itself…. It’s amazing what you stumble upon along the way!”
