Nestled in the heart of the green mountains, equidistant to Stratton Mountain and Okemo Mountain Resort, The Weston offers an elegant and serene retreat in southern Vermont. Run by the Sharp Family, this nostalgic, luxury estate is the perfect destination for nomads and romantics alike. Offering nine guest rooms and three suites, the style of each is carefully curated to create a simultaneously antique and modern feel. The original home was built in the 1950s and the team has honored that framework while also providing the only unparalleled luxury boutique hotel experience in the region. Many decorative pieces were collected by the family and date back to the 1800s. The greatest appeal, perhaps, is the unparalleled dining experience. Executive chef Bretton Combs serves delicious French country cuisine with ingredients sourced from local Vermont farms. The wine selection is well curated with unique and limited-production wines available.
