  • Inn Details

    Come and experience the tranquility of our 18th Vermont century home. This historic inn has spectacular views and is located on over 3 quiet, off-highway acres 12 miles north of Stowe. The inn is surrounded by gardens in the summer, and you may enjoy strolling through the woods behind the inn. There are two covered porches and a three-level deck on which to relax. All of the rooms have private baths and views of the Green Mountains, the forest and gardens, or both. The suites have fireplaces, two-person whirlpool tubs, and butlers kitchens. If the weather is not amenable for outdoor relaxing, you can read or play games in the living room or parlor or watch a movie from our 200 tape collection in the TV room. We want you to make yourselves at home. Come and relax away from the hubbub of everyday life, or just rest up after a busy day enjoying Vermont’s wonderful outdoor activities and shopping. Questions? Give us a call or drop us an e-mail. We would love to hear from you!

    This B&B is simply fantastic. The room, the Vermont Federal, was comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights. Every evening, fresh cookies, tea and hot apple cider were offered. There was also many games, books, and DVDs available. Breakfasts began with warm home made muffins, followed by a fruit-based plate, and the main plate. Different every morning, but always delicious! While booking, there is the option to get a chocolate truffles box. If you like chocolate, get them, they are really good! We'll definitely go back there.

    I stayed at the Fitch Hill Inn during a weekend in September and it could not have been better. Julie and John were the perfect hosts, the accomodations were beyond comfortable amd immaculate! The breakfasts were outstanding (and so weren't the cookies I could not stop eating!). The only problem with staying at the Fitch Hill Inn is that it sets the bar so high it will be difficult to find it's equal!

    A wonderful weekend

    We just spent a wonderful weekend at the Fitch Hill Inn. We decided to visit the Stowe area a week ago, and were lucky to find this gem. We arrived on Friday evening with our college aged son, and stayed in the Green Mountain Suite. We were warmly greeted by Julie, and after partaking of the fresh cookies that apparently are available every evening, she gave us an introduction to the inn then left us to settle in. The room was very nice, with lots of room even with the sleeper pulled out. In the morning we had one of the best breakfasts ever, starting with the baked pear, then a pumpkin nut muffin, followed by stuffed French toast (a single piece made with cream cheese between two thin slices of bread, the whole thing then dipped in the egg mixture and grilled, topped by a blueberry maple sauce. Delicious, and just the right amount of food (some meals are overly generous and leave you feeling stuffed, this was just perfect). We then went to Trapp Family Lodge for a wonderful day of skiing. Skied up to the cabin for lunch, then on around the trails. At our host's recommendation we went to the Bees Knees in Johnson for dinner, then went back to the Inn where we had a pleasant conversion with John and then watched a movie. In the morning we had another good breakfast (berries on yogurt, blueberry muffins, egg soufflé), then went skiing on the trails by the high school. Though not as extensive as commercial areas, they as just a few minutes from the Inn, are well groomed, and free. For lunch we stopped at Sweet Crunch Bake Shop for some great sandwiches. We were very lucky to have wonderful snow, great weather and overall as good a weekend as you can ever have, and the Inn was definitely a large part of what made it so good. We are very glad we stayed here rather than in Stowe, and highly recommend it to anyone planning to ski at Trapp Family Lodge (or at one of the downhill places as other guests were).

    Loved this B&B!!!

    I've stayed here twice and both visits were spectacular. Julia and John are extremely friendly and made our stay as comfortable as possible. The Inn is very clean and well kept. The beds are sooooo comfortable too! Breakfast, which consists of three courses, is absolutely delish! The freshly baked muffins are warm and hearty and the baked pear is unique and delicious. They also make their own bread, which is then used for stuffed French Toast! It's really fantastic. Other great amenities include freshly baked cookies (which may be the best I've ever had), hot cider and hot water for tea or cocoa which are ALWAYS available in the front hallway. They also have a fridge which is stocked with Poland Spring bottled water. Another great part of this Inn is their movie collection. They have just about every classic movie that I can think of! Though the majority are on VHS (i know...ancient), it seems somewhat fitting when nestled in the mountains. They also have DVDs, but not all rooms have a DVD player. In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Fitch Hill Inn to anyone that is looking for a quiet, comfortable vacation in the beautiful state of Vermont. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that it's only 15 minutes from Stowe :)

    Our stay at the Fitch Hill In was by far the best bed and breakfast experience we've ever enjoyed. The Inn offers an exquisite combination of luxury and down-home comfort. I particularly enjoyed reading my book by the wood burning stove, my teenage daughter really appreciated the excellent WiFi connection, and my husband (who suffered from insomnia the first night) was glad to be able to retreat to the common room for a cup of herb tea in the wee hours of the morning. We all agree that this inn is 100% Outstanding!
