Thinking of gathering with friends or family this summer? Consider our 1865 Vermont Bed & Breakfast, the Donomar Inn, located in Jeffersonville, Vermont, close to Smugglers' Notch Resort, Stowe, Burlington and Montreal, as the perfect destination. Nestled within the majestic Green Mountains, enjoy one of our six guests rooms, spectacular Mount Mansfield views, private baths, fireplaces, in-room Jacuzzis and six person outdoor hot tub. Our historic Vermont Inn houses many memorabilia from our ancestors, but is ready for you to make your own memories.

At the Donomar Inn you can easily take advantage of all levels of road biking, from a meandering 10-mile ride to an aggressive 100-mile loop that includes mountain climbs. Foot of the Notch Cycling shop in Jeffersonville can provide you with all your biking needs from a spare tire tube to a new bike. Canoing or kayaking is readily available on the nearby Lamoille River. Through Green River Canoe you can float to the Boyden Winery for a wine tasting, or you can paddle for miles with the loons at Green River Reservoir. Don't forget to stop into Green Mountain Troutfitters first for all your outdoor gear, including everything for fly-fishing.

                          

Golf? There is no shortage of exciting courses open to the public, all within a short drive, including the Bakersfield Country Club, the Farms Resort Golf Club, and the prestigious Stowe Country Club.

Miles of dirt roads that provide endless serene walking or running around the Donomar Inn. Horse-back riding through fields and wooded lanes can also be arranged by Lajoie Stables. Want a slightly higher vantage point? From atop Mount Mansfield you can spot three states! The Long Trail can be found within minutes of the Inn and will lead you straight to the summit. Even higher vantage? Book a glider ride through Stowe Soaring.

Not interested in that much work? Within a ten-mile radius of the Inn you will find a dozen unique antique shops, as well as artisan workshops and galleriesopen year round for your discovery. Vermont's handcrafts are world renown, yet our numerous weekly Farmer's Markets show them to be abundant, along with local foods and specialty items. Visit the Inn's Events Page to coordinate your visit with any number of cultural events or a theater performance at the Hyde Park Opera House or the juried art fair in Stowe Celebrates Summer Art & Craft Festival. Looking for a unique outdoor experience? Take a drive to Lake Champlain and visit St. Anne's Shrine for Mass in the open-air chapel or attend a performance sponsored by the Vermont Mozart Festival under the big sky.

                                                            

Really interested in doing nothing? The Donomar Inn boasts many gardens with annual and perennial flowers (a butterfly's dream!) and eight acres to claim a spot for a blanket or sit in one of our colorful Adirondack chairs handcrafted right here at the Donomar Inn (Mary's latest endeavor). Relax in our gazebo and take in the fragrant air and quiet surroundings; be sure to grab a book from our well-stocked library first! Complete your day with a yoga class or massage at The Mountain Well and a homemade, healthy lunch at the Sunrise Cafe, both right next door to the Inn.

                             

No vacation is complete without spectacular food - starting with Mary's wholesome and yummy breakfast. Vermont is home to many great chef-owned restaurants; no matter your tastes you will find many wonderful places to eat without leaving Jeffersonville, including the Three Mountain Lodge.

So call a few friends, email your sister, text your old college roommate, decide on a date and then book a night, a weekend or a week at the Donomar Inn. Be sure to check our web site for discounts and specials... Make this a summer to remember!
