The Silver Maple Lodge and Cottages is one of Vermont's oldest continuously operating country inns. The centerpiece of our historic property is an antique farmhouse dating to the late 1700's, which was expanded in the Victorian-style in the mid 1800's. The inn, which first opened its doors to travelers in the 1920's, has been restored and refurbished. Our look is fresh but the lodge is filled with many of the inn's original antique furnishings and exposed 200 year old hand-hewn beams remain.
