Jackson House Inn

Jackson House Backyard - Irene's Gift

Irene did bring some major devastation to central Vermont, but The Jackson House Inn was quite lucky with no damage sustained.  Our rooms offer relaxation and the same beautiful views.  An overflow of our brook and pond left some mud in a few back gardens and lawns which can be cleaned.  The lack of wind means that fall foliage should be as beautiful as ever, but there is also still green to enjoy now with the cool, crisp Vermont evenings.

Dinner at the Inn - Thank You, Irene

We did have a wonderful time with our inn guests during the storm and even enjoyed a “family” dinner in the dining room.  Contributions of food, elbow grease and great conversation made for an evening we will always remember!  Thank you to John, Laura, Art, Helena, Elisabeth, Jim and Suzanne!

Woodstock’s downtown suffered some power and water outages, but work is underway for some re-openings soon.  Unfortunately some families and businesses along the larger rivers were not quite so fortunate, and our hearts go out to them.  US Route 4 is clear from Woodstock east to the New Hampshire border; repairs are underway on that same route about a mile west of our inn toward Bridgewater and Killington – we’ll have a better timetable on that and some other local roads as the week progresses.

Exciting news for The Jackson House Inn!  We are proud to have been awarded Green Hotel status in Vermont in recognition of our ongoing commitment to conservation and protection of the environment.  In addition to being a completely smoke-free inn and property, we take our responsibility for offering a healthy environment very seriously.  Organic Vermont Coffee Company coffee and a delicious assortment of organic and herbal teas provide the perfect start on the porch, the patio or in a cozy chair.  Rick shops daily to access the freshest, locally-sourced breakfast ingredients available with an emphasis on organic options.  Only natural oils are used in our amenities and fresh scents from soy-based candles linger through the public spaces.  In addition to our efforts to increase recycling and reuse, our guests’ attention to recycling of products and conservation of our precious water and electrical supply is truly appreciated.  Careful selection of linens and cleaning products contribute to comfort at every turn. A special thank you to Peter Crawford and the VT Small Business Development Center for their support.

The Green Surroundings at The Jackson House Inn

And, while we’re talking green – thank you to Boston Magazine for recommending our inn as part of their summer travel guide.  Their description of Vermont is perfect – “…where God goes on vacation…the crowds are nowhere in sight…the farms come into their own…the mountains…erupt in the entire spectrum of green…”  Come join us!

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new website and blog, fully designed in WordPress by our web host, InsideOut Solutions.  The WordPress platform allows us to easily update the pages of our website.  The new blog enables us to provide the latest news and information about The Jackson House Inn and the Greater Woodstock, Vermont area.  We hope you find the new design attractive, easy to navigate and filled with great information about the inn and our location.
