    A beautifully preserved historic home in the heart of Ludlow in gorgeous Vermont. The inn is spotless and adorned with tasteful decor. Delicious (and copious) homemade breakfasts served in a warm setting made even warmer by its gracious hosts.

The Governor’s Inn was built in 1890 by William Wallace Stickney for his wife Lizzy. It was their primary residence during his time as speaker of the house of the Vermont General Assembly and during his tenure as the Governor of Vermont. The building was was turned into a Bed & Breakfast in 1977. It has been named The Governor’s Inn since 1980. Entering the Inn, you can imagine how Governor Stickney welcomed guests to his home. How they warmed close to the fireplace in the entry hall. Closing the large pocket doors to his study for meetings to discuss state business. The fabulous fireplace in the study warming them during these meetings. Just imagine being back in those times. The study is now our guest parlor. Enjoy a book while sitting on the sofas. Or negotiate state business if you want to! The fireplace (now gas-fired) is still there to warm you on a cold evening. And if need be, we can close the pocket doors for you. Throughout the building, you will find a lot of the original features of the building – from the woodwork in the entrance, the stairways, the windows and doors, to the stained-glass windows in the front and in the staircase.
We, that is my husband, our cat Tigger, and myself, dreamed about opening our house as a Bed and Breakfast for years. Maybe it was hosting family and friends frequently since we first came to our new home in the United States. We are originally from Germany (you might hear the accent) and fell in love with New England a long time ago! Vermont specifically intrigued us – mountains, lakes, hiking, skiing, enjoying the outdoors. And the people are just amazing. So when the opportunity came along we took it, and moved up to beautiful Ludlow. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our home. And we hope that you will fall in love with it just as we did.
The Governor's Inn is located in the Village of Ludlow, Vermont, in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and bars. Okemo Mountain Resort with winter skiing and summer activities is one mile from the property. Throughout all seasons the Green Mountains provide ample possibilities for outdoor activities - skiing, hiking, biking, canoeing, golfing, fishing and so much more. The Black River Academy Museum is in walking distance, President Calvin Coolidge Historical Site is a short drive away. America's oldest continuously operating cheese factory, Crowley Cheese, is just "up the road" a few miles away. These are just a few of the attractions Ludlow, the Okemo Valley, and the Green Mountains of Vermont have to offer.
