The Hermitage Inn

ers and more like trusted friends who genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and they anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had. On the wedding day, we felt like absolute royalty. The entire staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and completely on top of things. They handled food sensitivities and allergies with such ease that it gave us total peace of mind. I honestly didn’t realize a wedding could happen without a single hitch, but this team pulled it off flawlessly. I can’t think of one thing they missed. The venue itself was stunning, and we largely gave the planners creative freedom with the room setup. That trust paid off—the space looked beautiful in a way that felt effortless and perfectly aligned with our style. The food, the service, every interaction with every staff member… all impeccable. Truly, chef’s kiss, no notes. This venue is worth every cent, and if we had to choose all over again, we wouldn’t consider anywhere else.

ding to be intimate (not to many guests), in a setting that was surrounded by trees, and in a location that felt like home. Out of all the wedding venues in Vermont, the Hermitage Inn captured everything we were looking for. A gorgeous space and an attentive staff… making the day feel as effortless as possible. After a short call with the Events Director, Gina, we knew our big day was in good hands. She not only spent multiple hours on the phone with us, but she also provided amazing visuals for us as we were planning this wedding from out of state. I have never met a more dedicated person who works in a hospitality field. Gina is the definition of “going above and beyond” — even meeting us to tour the space on her day off last minute, so we were able to take the big leap in deciding this was our future wedding venue. She puts her entire heart in listening to her couples, understanding their vision, and bringing their dreams to life. And now to the part of the magical touches… this space is truly one that people are passionate to work for. Everyone who works in the space takes time to learn who their patrons are, so much so, that my husband and I has several interactions with the owners Mary Lou and Tim of the Inn before the wedding even occurred. The Hermitage Inn is not just a space where they churn guests in and out… the waiters to the bartenders to the check in staff all knew who we were, and did everything in their power to make the day special. On the day of the wedding, Tim personally delivered lunch to the bridal party and grooms party. The day after the wedding, when picking up our decorations to bring home, Tim himself was walking the grounds and taking care of some landscaping on his own in the quiet hours of the morning. It’s moments like that where you realize you are receiving first class service without the impersonal aspect of larger hotel and venues. On the wedding day itself, everyone was available to help where needed. I was looked in the eye, asked what I needed, and was never made to feel alone or out of sorts. Gina herself took our vision and DIY table settings, flowers, and glassware, and within hours had her entire staff create the space into the vision that we wanted. Lucky for us, we got married in the month of October, so the Hermitage Inn already was decorated with beautiful flowers, pumpkins, and corn stalks to provide additional ambience. The food… my husband and I have eaten at the Inn’s restaurant multiple times, and you are truly in for a treat. The high quality, amazing flavors, are exactly what you are served at your private event as well. I could go on and on about the amazing experience we had with the Hermitage Inn. So many of my guests stated… “this place is like a postcard.” We could not be more impressed with the attention and care we received with our wedding event. Even with a wedding of 30 guests, we were able to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception in the gorgeous Birches dining room. We highly recommend this space for a future event or even a weekend away in Southern Vermont. It is now a place where we call ‘home.’ Thank you Tim, Mary Lou, Gina, and the entire staff of the Hermitage Inn for making our day one we will never forget!

ation, she was warm, professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Gina went above and beyond to answer my questions, share thoughtful ideas, and provide beautiful details about what a celebration at the Hermitage could look like. I have no doubt that any couple lucky enough to work with her will be in the best of hands. Thank you again for everything — you made a lasting impression, and I’m so appreciative.

s nothing short of magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to say “I do.” From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the picturesque views that surrounded the property. The fall foliage in full bloom painted the landscape with rich reds, oranges, and yellows, creating an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony. The crisp autumn air and the golden light of an October afternoon made everything feel like a dream come true. The Hermitage Inn itself is a hidden gem—an elegant, rustic retreat that blends charming alpine décor with luxury. We held our ceremony outside, just steps from the Inn, where the breathtaking mountain views were the perfect frame for our vows. The staff were attentive, professional, and incredibly kind, ensuring everything ran smoothly from the first moment we arrived until the very end of our celebration. The reception in the Inn’s cozy yet spacious dining room was equally enchanting. The wood beams, warm lighting, and gorgeous floral arrangements created an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely divine—each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, showcasing Vermont’s freshest ingredients. Our guests are raving about the seasonal dishes, especially the artichoke beignets! What really stood out was the attention to detail. The team at The Hermitage went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the day was flawless. From coordinating the timeline to recommending the best local vendors, they made the entire planning process feel effortless. They truly made our wedding day a reflection of our personal style and vision. Whether you're looking for an outdoor ceremony with breathtaking views, an intimate indoor reception with top-notch service, or simply a venue that offers the best of Vermont’s fall charm, The Hermitage Inn is the perfect choice.
