Nestled between a sloping meadow and sparkling river, with fifty-six acres of forested foothills and a spring-fed swimming pond, the Henry Farm Inn is a haven of tranquility in a natural setting. The Henry Farm Inn has so much to offer travelers seeking a genuine Vermont bed and breakfast experience.
The Inn offers guests nine spacious, sunny bedrooms, all with private baths; a comfortable country dining room; a guest parlor with a working fireplace; and ample space for relaxing and mingling with fellow guests.
Children of all ages are very welcome at the Henry Farm Inn and the Inn is a great place for families and friends to re-unite for any occasion. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a quilting get-away or a small wedding, we would love to host your special event.
The Henry Farm Inn, a center hall Federal built in the late 1700's, is located in Chester, Vermont on the Green Mountain Turnpike and holds a significant place in Chester's history. Our well-maintained two hundred year old farmhouse was the first tavern in Chester, when it served as a stagecoach stop on the Green Mountain Turnpike. In colonial times this turnpike ran from Boston to Montreal, but now is a quiet, picturesque dirt road for us to treasure, perfect for biking, walking or a peaceful drive off the beaten path. The Henry Farm Inn offers a private country setting, but is only minutes away from the charming and historic Victorian village of Chester.
The Henry Farm Inn has retained the charm of its earlier days and we welcome guests who appreciate the Inn for its authenticity and simple early American dcor. When you arrive we'll give you the "grand tour" to see for yourself how our rooms are enhanced by the original wide pumpkin-pine floors (the largest one measures almost two feet wide!), our eight Rumford fireplaces, original hand-hewn beams, a beehive oven in the dining room fireplace, a hearth oven in our wonderful country kitchen, authentic Moses Eaton stenciling, and, Chester's first hot water bathtub.
Our beautiful, natural surroundings speak for themselves - come enjoy the view from our wonderful back porch swing and treasure the Vermont countryside with us! We cordially invite you to relax in our refreshingly friendly and casual atmosphere. Our goal is to create an Inn that is warm and comforting, just like home.
