About this venue

The West Mountain Inn was originally built as a farmhouse in 1809. From 1880 to 1920, first a gristmill and then a lumber mill were operated on the Battenkill River at the foot of the mountain. In 1904 Ned and Gwendolyn Rochester purchased the 150 acre farm and began to transform it into an elegant summer estate. After a succession of other residents the estate later became an arts and retreat center.

Our event spaces

The Inn

Nestled on 150 mountainside acres overlooking the Battenkill Valley, the century old West Mountain Inn has been welcoming travelers with warmth and hospitality for over 30 years. The Inn offers romantic, antique filled guest rooms, mountain views, lush gardens and farm fresh dining prepared with local, seasonal ingredients. Our historic barn and spacious, private grounds are also the perfect setting for elegant Vermont country weddings, retreats and specials events.

The Barn

The Barn at West Mountain Inn was originally built by the Rochester family in 1900 to house their imported merino sheep and dairy, furthering their desire to own a “gentleman’s farm” in the country. Still in its original state with wide-plank oak floors, aged-cedar siding, windows on all sides and a 2 ½- story open floor plan interior – the Barn was built for the ages. With the addition of a few modern amenities, the Barn has been re-imagined as the perfect romantic, rustic and elegant space to host weddings and events of all kinds.

  • A Gorgeous Winter Wedding!

    We feel so lucky to have found the West Mountain Inn for our wedding. We first visited about a year before our wedding and immediately felt like it would be the perfect place for our special day. We were greeted by the resident golden retrievers, who followed us on our tour. If you’re a dog lover, you’ll be very happy with this venue! But really, it was Amie, Mary Beth and the rest of the staff who sold us. We immediately felt like they cared about making your day as perfect as possible for us, which was very welcome after touring other venues which felt like they wanted to squeeze every penny from us. After we decided on the venue, Amie was so willing to work with people like us who wanted to plan every detail possible. Amie answered all of my questions and sent additional information like floor plans so I could plan who was assigned to each room as soon as possible. Her communication over email was so incredible helpful! We absolutely loved that we could have so many guests staying at the inn and knew that would be perfect for our winter wedding. Next came our tasting, which was such a fun event. There are two tastings a year, both in March (though I think you could have a private tasting if you need). We loved being able to stay at the inn for a night and meet all of the other couples getting married here within the year. As our wedding was in February, we had to wait a long time between the tasting and trying the food again, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint! Chef Jeff did an amazing job with our welcome party, breakfast and lunch the day of the wedding, the absolutely amazing wedding dinner (and late night snacks), and brunch the next morning! We heard that most couples have a hard time eating during their weddings, but we cleaned our plates! Definitely try the butternut squash ravioli, it is incredible! We had our ceremony in the barn, then moved to the bar in the inn for cocktail hour, then dinner in the dining room, and dancing in the living room. They take out the big pieces of living room furniture and move some chairs to the side for dancing. A lot of my family was skeptical about that, but the inn knows what they’re doing!! The dance floor was plenty big for our party of 60 (and I’m sure it could have accommodate larger groups), and the chairs on the sides were a huge hit! It was incredible to be able to sit down for a minute and still feel like you’re a part of the party. I know a lot of our guests enjoyed that as well. We got ready in the Norman Rockwell suite, which worked out well since we had a small bridal party. We also loved getting to see all the rooms in the inn - every room is thought out so well and has little details that are so fun to find! We thought the inn was what made our wedding weekend so magical and cannot wait to visit again on anniversaries or other special occasions. Thank you so much to the entire team - we are so grateful to you!

    We had the perfect wedding at the West Mountain Inn! The venue is gorgeous, accommodating, and extremely well organized, all thanks to Amie and her wonderful team. Our family and friends are still raving about the venue (and food, and alpacas) almost a year later. Amie is a dream to work with. She is responsive, makes helpful suggestions, and brings a calm to the entire process. There's a lot of flexibility offered, but we also very much appreciated guidance on how a typical package or wedding went at the Inn (they've thought of everything). You feel welcomed and at ease in this beautiful space. Looking back, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have such a helpful team be part of the venue. We can't recommend this venue enough!

    Having our wedding at the West Mountain Inn was the best decision we could have made! Not only is it gorgeous with beautiful views of the mountains, beautiful flowers, and unique rooms for each of our guests, but Amie (the inn's owner and wedding coordinator) was amazing to work with. She was so knowledgable and always answered all of my many questions immediately. The food from the entire weekend was also spectacular and we had many compliments on it all weekend! Each and every staff member from the inn welcomed our family and friends as though they were their own and made my husband and I feel so special and cared for the entire weekend. Thank you to everyone from the West Mountain Inn for making our wedding weekend the best of our lives! We highly recommend this location as a venue and will be returning every year for our anniversary!
