Inn on the Common
Searching for a classic Vermont country inn experience? Welcome to Inn on the Common, profiled by The Today Show, The Boston Globe, the Burlington Free Press and selected as Yankee Magazine's 2006 Editor's Choice.
With over 28 years combined hospitality experience, Innkeepers Jim and Judi Lamberti are experts at making folks feel at home, in their home. That's right, they actually live right on the premises. Their warm, gracious New England hospitality just makes you want to put your feet up and start chatting! In fact, back in 1994, they were voted "Vermont Innkeeper of the Year."
Considered the "Crown Jewel of the Northeast Kingdom," Inn on the Common is nestled in one of Vermont's most photographed hill towns, famous Craftsbury Common. A charming collection of sturdy white clapboard buildings, framed by towering oaks and stands of pine, this quaint rural setting offers a gentle reminder of simpler times gone by. The Inn's lovely campus is home to three meticulously restored Federal Houses, each surrounded by lush, sprawling lawns and gardens. Inside, The Fireside Guide says, "Wallpapers and fabrics are stunning and combinations of colors often unexpected." Our distinctive guestrooms have all been recently redecorated with a fresh coat of paint, decorative wallpapers, new carpeting and lovely draperies. Rooms are appointed with many fine furnishings, including hand-stitched quilts, artwork and heirloom antiques. Certain rooms offer the cozy Vermont warmth of a fireplace or wood-burning stove, and they all have lovely sitting areas for reading and relaxing.

Innkeepers

After spending the last fourteen years as the Innkeepers of Burlington, Vermont's only four-diamond property, the Lamberti's were feeling the need for a change. As a past-President of New England Innkeepers and Resorts Association, Jim had ample opportunity to review numerous properties. When Inn on the Common came up for sale, they knew it was exactly what they wanted. - The innkeepers speak: English
