Circa 1788. The Golden Stage Inn was a stagecoach stop built shortly before Vermont became a state. It served as a link in the Underground Railroad and was the home of Cornelia Otis Skinner. Cornelia's Room still offers its original polished wide-pine floors and view of Okemo Mountain, and now there's a four-poster cherry bed, farm animal border, wainscoting and a comforter filled with wool from the inn's sheep. Outside are gardens of wildflowers, a little pen with two sheep, a swimming pool and blueberries and raspberries for the picking. Breakfast offerings include an often-requested recipe, Golden Stage Granola. Home-baked breakfast dishes are garnished with Johnny-jump-ups and nasturtiums from the garden. Guests can indulge anytime by reaching into the inn's bottomless cookie jar. The inn offers stay & ski packages at Okemo Mountain with 24 hours advance notice, and it's a 20 minute drive to Killington access.

I just returned from a 2 night stay at the Golden Stage Inn. What a great place. The inn-keepers Julie and Mike have only owned the inn for 6 months but already they are pros. Their primary focus is making your stay as comfortable as possible. The bottomless cookie jar is fantastic, the Saturday night chocolate cake is warm and rich and decadent. Breakfasts are tasty, and I loved the fresh fruit and yogurt and granola. The rooms are clean, comfortable, quiet. the bed was comfy. Nellie the dog is a sweetheart (yes I confess, she had a bite of my cookie!). Overaqll, this has the best experience I have had at a bed and breakfast inn. I'm already planning my return visit!
