News Articles and Press on West Hill House B&B in Warren Vermont

West Hill House B&B owners and hosts Peter & Susan invite guests to their historic 1850’s home in the Mad River Valley to enjoy four glorious seasons for romance, relaxation and recreation. The B&B is a great choice as a quiet, comfortable central location for a multi-day visit to all the scenery, attractions and activities of central Vermont. It is also a great venue for weddings as well as other events, such as receptions, family reunions and business retreats for up to 50 guests.

The history of West Hill House B&B is as an 1850’s Vermont home, which, like the families who have lived here, has grown and changed over the years. Originally a small family home and working farm, the property was owned by generations of the same family right up into the 1930s. Of note is that the property had a “Sickle Tree” dating from the Civil War, unfortunately now dead and removed however we still have the sickle on display in the B&B. The tree illustrated the tradition of farmers hanging their sickle in a tree on the property when they went off to war, then retrieving it on their return – if indeed they did.

In the 1960s West Hill House B&B became a ski accommodation then was transformed into a B&B in the 1970s by Pat & Dale Stetson. In the 1990s it was expanded and modernized by prior owners Dotty Kyle and Eric Brattstrom who took over in 1993. Peter & Susan MacLaren purchased West Hill House B&B in 2006 and today it is a comfortable and inviting 9 room bed and breakfast. Recently systems and processes, including being 100% Solar Powered, have been updated to help qualify the B&B as a Green Hotel in the Green Mountain State.

West Hill House B&B is located in the heart of the Mad River Valley on a quiet country road nestled in a hillside forest, surrounded by its gorgeous perennial gardens. It is beside the Sugarbush ski and golf resort and minutes from the Mad River Glen ski area, on the Catamount trans-Vermont ski trail and just a few minutes drive to the famed Vermont Long Trail. The shops, artisans and marvelous restaurants of Warren and Waitsfield, Vermont are all nearby. It is just 45 miles from Burlington Airport – BTV.

The B&B offers 9 unique non-smoking guest rooms and suites all with gas fireplaces, air conditioning, direct dial phones with free calling and voice mail, Wi-Fi, high definition digital cable TVs, and all with private ensuite bathrooms featuring jetted tubs and/or steam showers.The beds all have memory foam making them amazingly comfortable, and the hosts, who also live in the house, serve a delicious breakfast to their guests each morning after their great night’s sleep. The B&B also has 3 large common rooms with fireplaces, including a library with a pool table.

A special feature of the B&B is the the Quaich Single Malt Scotch bar which is open for resident guests after dinner each evening, until 10 PM. It features a variety of malts from Speyside and the islands, and for those whose preference does not run to a fine single malt it also offers a nice selection of liqueurs. All are offered at very reasonable prices. There is a also a good wine cellar and a selection of Vermont beers and ciders available.
