Circa 1909. For some, the scenery is enough of a reason to visit Vermont. For those who need more, try the Lilac Inn. The restored inn's beautiful furnishings, polished woodwork and fireplaces add to the ambiance. Canopy beds dressed with fine linens, flowers, whirlpool tubs and sitting areas grace the guest rooms. A full, gourmet breakfast is included in the rates. The inn is a popular site for unforgettable romantic weddings. The landscaped, two-acre grounds include ponds, a gazebo and hundreds of perennials and annuals. Flowers decorate the ground's stone walls.

We love coming to the Lilac Inn. The location is perfect...sitting on a wide street (Park Street) with easy walking access to the town. We just park our car at the Inn and enjoy the town of Brandon. The Inn itself is immaculate, and tastefully decorated. The owners couldn't be nicer, and the gourmet 3 course breakfasts are superb without being overwhelming.

My husband and I have stayed at the Lilac Inn on various romantic occasions and enjoy our stay very much each time we visit. Doug and Shelley always make us feel welcomed to their beautiful "home" and their rooms (our favorite is room 1) are well appointed and welcoming. The grounds all around the Inn are exceptionally landscaped with gorgeous flower gardens and water features. The front porch is a perfect spot to relax with a drink (our favorite is wine) and just enjoy the beauty of Vermont around you. We always look forward to breakfast... yummy and they always have a nice variety to choose from.
