Two full baths!
Large Living Room with ceiling fan and skylight.

Outside

The Porches - Guests love to watch the world go by on our covered wrap-round front porch.  Near the kitchen, there's a private and peaceful porch.   All porch furniture and decorations are included in the sale.

Mature, well maintained landscaped yards include ample off-street parking with picturesque views.

Business - The Carriage House is fully licensed for lodging and restaurant services (there is currently no liquor license).  In addition to a growing set of new clientele from its excellent Internet presence, the B&B has a steady stream of return guests as well as many walk-in clientele due to the B&B's visibility from the east and west traveling on Route 4. 

We have explicit detailed records of the business since 2000.  This includes financials, occupancies, marketing (we own and maintain our website), former guest lists, current reservations and  more.

Full training and mentoring available if required.

Why are we selling such a great business?  We moved to Woodstock, Vermont  because of its year-round stable tourist business and its superb school system - for our daughter (who was in 1st grade when we moved here).   Stephanie is close to graduating high school and wants to go south for college.  We have decided to move with her and be closer to the rest of our families who live in Texas, Florida and Kentucky.

Woodstock Vermont

Just In!  April 2009 - The Great Towns of America by authors David and Joan Vokac announced that Woodstock, Vermont has been named one of the “top 100 best getaways for a vacation or a lifetime”.  Woodstock is described as the perfect embodiment of a New England village ”Vermont specialty shops abound downtown, along with fine restaurants. Numerous landmarks in and around town like the spectacular public library reflect generous endowments and a cosmopolitan spirit.”

Everything you love about Vermont— words like "romantic", "magical" and "historic" are often used to describe this quaint village that has been called "the prettiest small town in America". First settled in 1768, Woodstock retains the elegant charm and rugged character of American antiquity. With a covered bridge in the middle of town, and stately homes surrounding the village green, it is easy to see why Woodstock has been called the "quintessential New England village".

Woodstock’s excellent schools and welcoming community combined with a multitude of outdoor activities in all seasons make our town the ideal place to live. One of the top hospitals in the country, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center or the Dartmouth College are both just half an hour away from Woodstock.

Local attractions include the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park (the only NHP in Vermont); Pentangle Council on the Arts; Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences; Quechee Gorge; President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site; Union Arena Community Center; Simon Pearce; Sugarbush Farms; Dartmouth College; Killington and more......

Many annual events bring tourists to Woodstock, such as:   December's Wassail Weekend; Woodstock Winter Triathlon in February; Vermont's Winter Special Olympics in March; June's Covered Bridge Half Marathon; Quechee Balloon Festival; Fourth of July Spectacular; the Green Mountain Horse Association Summer Events, the July 100-mile Endurance Run and - of course - every September & October brings the world to Woodstock's renowned Fall Foliage.
