Willard Street Inn in Burlington, Chittenden County, United States | Inn

Welcome to Willard Street Inn, Burlington, United States. The Willard Street Inn, Burlington is a charming Victorian mansion built in the late 1880's of brick and white marble as a private family home for Charles W. Woodhouse. The three story Inn offers grace and grandeur blended with the warmest hospitality. Tall double front doors with antique brass handles open to welcome you into the beautiful cherry paneled foyer and its striking staircase. The décor is both elegant and comfortable. Each of its 14 guest rooms, all with private baths, are individually decorated with authentic and reproduction antiques. Each room has its own personality that welcomes you with a blend of historic charm and modern comforts. Every morning a delicious gourmet breakfast is prepared by our chef and served in the sunny marble floored solarium with its delightful views of our beautiful English gardens and Lake Champlain.
In the warmer months, a stroll down the stunning marble staircase off the solarium leads guests to our 1.5 acres of lawn and English gardens filled with flowers and herbs. Whether in bloom with spring flowers or ablaze with autumn color, the gardens are a place to behold the wonders of nature. A short walk takes you to the University of Vermont, Champlain College, Lake Champlain's waterfront and Church Street's fine restaurants and shopping.
The Willard Street Inn was built in the late 1880's for Charles Woodhouse, a prominent businessman and Vermont State Senator. The design of the house incorporates elements of the Queen Anne and the Colonial-Georgian Revival styles, both of which were just gaining popularity at that time.
Today, the brick structure retains its marble detail, slate roof, and a striking exterior marble staircase which descends to the elaborate gardens below. Inside, high ceilings, intricate moldings and wood floors hearken back to another era. Upon entering the spacious cherry-paneled foyer, one can almost imagine the grand turn-of-the-century parties which Mr. Woodhouse might have hosted.
