Motel Rooms
The motel rooms at the Colonial House are in attached wings off the main building. Each room has private bath, cable TV, free WI-FI and outside entrance. There are two comfortable chairs in each room, a writing desk and dresser and sufficient space for a roll-away if there is an extra person in the party. The rooms are all furnished in a comfortable country motif, offering an alternative to the cookie cutter style of a national chain. In addition, the porches which overlook the Green Mountains have Adirondack or lawn chairs for those pleasant Vermont afternoons.
We try our best to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Our summers are mostly mild with cooler nights. However, we have a few hot days and we provide fans for your use. Both the guest living room and the dining room have air conditioning, but not the individual rooms. Please tell us if this is a concern for you.
Folks With Families
We want the Colonial House Inn to be your favorite stop when traveling to Vermont. In order to make your stay as pleasant and stress-free as possible, Inn rooms 1, 3, 4, and 6 have air conditioning, along with Motel Rooms 7, 8, and 9.
Refrigerator/Freezer
We have a refrigerator and freezer available for your use in our downstairs storage/sewing room.
Microwave
We also have a microwave available for you to use anytime. If we are not serving a meal in the dining room, you may use one of the empty tables for your family.
Ski In / Ski Out
The meadow around the inn is big enough for children to learn how to cross country ski, snowshoe or rolling in the snow. We often make ski tracks which loop around the outside of the property for a great outing for those 4 and under (OK, for those over 4, too).
Pet Friendly
We are pet friendly and allow well-behaved pets to stay in the motel rooms for an additional $25 per night ($50 minimum). The motel rooms are pet friendly and have doors to the outside, so there is direct access without going through the common areas of the Inn. The inn rooms are not pet-friendly (since the rooms are like staying in someone's home). Our Inn Dog Chappy is very friendly with other pets all we ask is that you do not bring your dog(s) into our guest living room.
Adjoining Rooms
Motel rooms 1 and 2 connect by an inside door for easy access by families, as do the deluxe motel rooms 8 and 9.
Cookies
We provide cookies with coffee or tea in the afternoon in the sun room (lemonade or hot cider depending on the season).We appreciate all our visitors who come back year after year. Send us a card to let us know what you liked or didn't like! Our address is on the top of all our web pages and please tell your friends about the Colonial House Inn!

Small Rooms
The Small Rooms are located on the back of the long wing with two twins in each. A long portico leads to the dining room with a pair of lawn chairs outside each door. These are old-fashioned rooms, pine paneled and reminiscent of mid-century motel rooms. The picture windows look towards Markham Mountain, a spectacular display of color in the fall.
