Set on a majestic hilltop spanning Burke and Lyndon in the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont is one of the state’s most beautiful addresses. ⛰️ 💫 The Neo-classical grand mansion - now known as the @theinnatburklyn - was restored to the grandeur of the private residence it once was when New York City hotelier, Elmer Darling, started building the property in 1904. Now it’s a sanctuary- and bucket list stay - for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and history. 🍃 The mansion has seen many different owners over his lifetime, and even once was a 40-person dormitory for students at Lyndon State College. Now, it welcomes guests looking for a luxurious stay in what feels like a modernized stay in a wonderfully historic Vermont home. 💫 The property was purchased in 2018 and underwent a two-year renovation and now is a family-fun affair, from the innkeeper and events manager, to housekeeping and their chef. 🔥 🍴 Sit in one of the numerous living rooms with wood-burning fireplaces. Play a game of cards in the bar room while sipping on one of the creatively crafted cocktails. Enjoy a four-course meal at the restaurant on site, @diningatthemansion and experience some of the warmest service in Vermont and classic dishes prepared expertly. Retreat in the evening to one of the 14 guest rooms on site, or one of the original four suites, perhaps even Elmer Darling’s personal room. ⭐️ The charm and character of the original residence is seen in every nook and cranny. The floors, the woodwork, the ceilings, the doors and their hardware - everything is a work of beauty and fully restored to what it once was (or even better). ⛷️ 🚲 The Northeast Kingdom is known for outdoor recreation - and it touches this property with some of the 80 acres connecting to nearby @kingdomtrails. Whether you choose to visit to ski at @burkemountain_official or simply be on site, it’s on destination you won’t want to leave. ❄️ Make the mansion your own. Settle in. Go for leisurely walks on the grounds taking in the epic mountain and valley views from the Northeast Kingdom’s most beautiful road: Darling Hill. ⭐️ What’s a bucket list stay in Vermont you want to collect? ⭐️
