A Farm Stay Like No Other

The Inn will reopen on May 9, 2025. See you then!

Welcome to Shelburne Farms Inn, a transformed 19th century country estate home and integral part of the education nonprofit Shelburne Farms. Open seasonally mid-May to mid-October, the Inn offers accommodations in its 24 guest rooms and several guest houses. 

During your farm stay, you’re invited to relax lakeside in the breathtaking landscape of this working farm, education center, and National Historic Landmark, and be inspired by all that goes on here. Proceeds from your stay support the nonprofit mission to inspire and cultivate learning for a sustainable future. 

Guests are invited to dine at our farm-to-table restaurant. Enjoy delicious meals prepared with local products and ingredients, including Shelburne Farms cheese, meats, maple syrup, and organic produce.         

Just outside the inn, you can stroll through the beautiful and lovingly restored Formal Flower Gardens overlooking Lake Champlain.

We hope your farm stay will leave you feeling inspired to join us in building a thriving and more just world.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Creating Family Memories

We've stayed at the Inn nearly every July 4th since 2001. We've made friends, formed bonds, and created family memories. In addition to being Inn guests, we do what we can to support the mission of Shelburne Farms, to help it continue to change lives through teaching and practicing environmental sustainability.
