The Inn. First it was a farmhouse, then in 1935 an après ski lodge called TengBergen. Then, in 1959, it became a B&B called The J-Bar Lodge, followed by The Village Inn. Breakfasts were hardy, dinner for houseguests had one course, everyone pitched in and had a ball.
Together, the rustic charm of this “true” Vermont Inn and gracious innkeeping starting with founder Madelon TengBergen, then her son, Jack, and daughter-in-law Marion, then Don & Else Snyder along with son Jay and daughter-in-law Kathy, was a “hit”. As its reputation for excellence grew, so did the size and needs of The Village Inn. More land was acquired, buildings moved and wings added to meet the needs of a young, growing business without ever sacrificing its cozy charm and willingness to please the public – all considered friends.
Today, The Landgrove Inn has 18 guest rooms, a 3 room Family Suite, a public restaurant, a busy four season special events schedule, and a brand new 50' x 30' Post and Beam style Center for the Arts, beautifully located overlooking our pond, with stunning views of Stiles Peak in the distance.
This new building, called "InView", a place to create, exhibit and learn, is now available for use by myriad arts & crafts workshops, religious retreats, small corporate seminars, lecture series, and more. (please check our "Creative Workshops" page for the current schedule.)
In winter, we offer 15 kilometers of tracked and groomed, x-country trails, ice skating, snowshoeing, and Pfister Farms sleigh rides by appointment. Downhill skiing and snow boarding on 4 major mountains is no more than 20 minutes away. Shopping options abound.
Come summer, swimming, tennis, hiking, biking, fishing and canoeing in our stocked trout pond, provide hours of recreation and relaxation throughout 32 acres of meadows and woods surrounded by stunning mountain views. Private fly fishing instructions can be arranged in advance on site.
And then there's Autumn. The jewel in Vermont's crown. "Leaf Peepers" from all over come to observe a visual feast that's truly hard to describe. You'll just have to see it for yourself.
