About this property

Lake views, casual elegance, chef's kitchen, at state park.

Situated at the base of Mt. Philo in picturesque Charlotte, Vermont, with stunning panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains, the kingdomWest Wing at the Mt. Philo Inn offers guests the privacy, spaciousness and tranquility of a home in the country, with the amenities of a boutique hotel.
The West Wing is a 3-bedroom suite with a complete kitchen, 2 bathrooms and private entrance way.
The West Wing at the Mt. Philo Inn provides a comfortable and genuine Vermont experience, away from the highways and lights, but convenient to both Burlington and Middlebury. We feature solidly crafted furniture, hardwood floors, stone counters, locally sourced foods, soaps and artwork. The West Wing suite has a designer kitchen, fully equipped for cooking and entertaining. The refrigerator is stocked with a breakfast basket of Vermont products, including bacon and eggs, coffee, pancake mix and maple syrup.
The century-old inn is in Charlotte, the heart of the Champlain Valley, with the private, original carriage road to Mt. Philo State Park and its many recreational options. The Inn is surrounded by preserved fields and mountain ranges, but conveniently located with easy access to the restaurants, clubs, galleries, bookstores and shops of Burlington and Middlebury.
Our unique spacious structure is conducive to family reunions, educational retreats, or simple weekends away. A commune in the sixties, the West Wing of the inn is now available. A three night minimum stay is required.
Innkeeper for over 30 years, Dave has given thought to the inn’s facelift-- preserving the inn’s gorgeous woodwork and hardware; sourcing local building materials when possible; decorating with a minimalist and eclectic style; and emphasizing products from local companies. The result is an updated classic that exudes a simple elegance and peaceful vibe.
Recognized as a "Fodor's Choice" hotel, 1 of 5 in Northern Vermont

We absolutely loved the eclectic property with awesome views and a trail to Mt Phyllo. We were in the area for a UVM graduation. The Inn was about 25 minutes from campus and a nice change from Burlington. Would recommemd this property if you don’t mind a little dust and lots of charm. Hopefully, they will figure out whats wrong with the record player so guests can enjoy the massive CD collection. Thanks Dave!

Great property with easy access for hiking. Great cooking space. The one bedroom off the living room is smaller but still quite a good space. The master is huge and quiet.

This property was authentic and charming Vermont during the peak of Fall. It was exactly what we wanted for a country getaway. We especially loved the front porch views and using the record player with a nostalgic collection of albums. Very spacious. David was so hospitable!

I loved staying at the VRBO apartment at the foot of Mt. Philo. The place is attractive, spacious, and with a breathtaking view of Mt. Philo and Lake Champlain. It was very comfortable for the three of us who stayed—each in a separate room. We very much appreciated the welcoming breakfast fixings and the well appointed kitchen—both of which enabled us to have hearty breakfasts before heading out for the day. The best part was the fabulous location at the foot of Mt. Philo with easy access to hiking trails up the mountain.

Lovely get away

The inn was just as I expected- like arriving at your own family camp. Wonderful open kitchen with up to date amenities. The view was gorgeous and I truly enjoyed curling up on the day bed in from of the window and reading. The welcome food basket of vermont items was perfect after a long drive. Highly recommend for those looking for beautiful time away.

Great Location. Easy Check In. Quiet - you will sleep well!

We had a fabulous week at the Mt Philo Inn. There is ample space to be together but also to spread out for quiet reading or naps! The building is so unique. It is an easy drive to so many things. We visited Shelburne Museum, the Ethan Allen Homestead, the John Strong house and Chimney Point. Spent a day at the lake. Be sure to treat yourselves to breakfast at the Dutch Mill!

Just like home!

We had everything we needed at Dave's place. I was able to utilize a well stocked kitchen to make some homemade meals for my son who just started at UVM. Warm, cozy and clean. We loved the direct access to the Mt Philo trails as well :)

Home away from home

We really enjoyed this beautiful property with a stunning view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. Great, full service kitchen. Plenty of room and privacy for each of us with the bed/bath arrangement. Close to Mt. Philo State Park for hiking and further views.
