Eloping at the Governor's House was without a question the best decision myself and my now husband could have made. We are so grateful for the exceptional experience and care that Suzanne provided for us in this beautiful immaculately kept home, and have very special memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Suzanne knows how to create a care-free elopement where absolutely every detail was taken care of for us and executed with grace. From the beautifully appointed room with the four poster canopy bed and the decanter of sherry awaiting us, to the gorgeous bouquet she made me, to an incredible dinner and wedding cake made by Suzanne, and so much more, the experience was perfect from start to finish. Not to mention, there was a spa tub with jets and boutique bath products that amplified an experience of luxurious self-indulgence. As vegans, she not only accommodated our food choices but succeeded in blowing us out of the water with her culinary skills. The dinner and breakfasts were phenomenal.
It's also worth noting that the night before our intended arrival we had four feet of snow that delayed us by a day. Suzanne took this delay in stride and helped calm my nerves, arranging a series of backup plans so that no matter when our road was eventually plowed, we knew we'd be able to arrive and have the wedding experience we wanted.
We arrived to her charming and beautifully kept mansion, received a warm welcome, and then after settling in we were married in front of the beautiful grand old fireplace by an officiant named Pixie who, though we had never met before, made sure to take a moment to get to know us and then led a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget.
It's worth mentioning that Suzanne also had an amazing capacity to balance both the safety needs required during this pandemic to protect everyone's health, with creating a warm, welcoming, and relaxing environment. If you're looking for a getaway in these very weird times, this is the perfect place to go.
Suzanne and the Governor's house are true gems. We are already looking forward to returning for our anniversary next year.
Note: We wanted to upload more photos of our experience but Trip Advisor kept uploading them as upside down. The moral of the story is that you've got to go experience it for yourself ;)

The house is magnificent, with its multiple staircases, fireplaces, and beautiful woodwork throughout. Suzanne is a kind and gracious host who provides a warm and welcoming environment. Homemade cookies and little treasures of snacks are to be found in multiple places, and there is even a decanter of sherry in your room to greet you. Enjoying Suzanne’s delicious homemade breakfast is a great way to start the day. A five star experience from start to finish. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Elizabeth

My wife and I attended a Jane Austen themed weekend at The Governor's House with a small group of incredible people and our wonderful host, Suzanne. Our room was elegantly furnished in the style of this 120 year-old mansion, with a small decanter of complimentary sherry tucked away in the corner! The house is welcoming and stocked with books not only in the attractive library but throughout the other rooms as well. The bedrooms are spread throughout the home, and privacy was never an issue, although we spent most of our time mingling with the other guests. Suzanne prepared incredible meals in the style of the period (Guinness and beef stew, baked maple eggs, fresh fruit, for example), and engaged with the guests throughout our stay. The house is just a short distance from Stowe and its shops (I enjoyed a few of the exceptional breweries in the area, too!). I heartily recommend a stay at this beautifully maintained historic home.

I stayed overnight with my family, while visiting Vermont for the first time. The house was eloquent and beautifully kept. I found each room intriguing and fun to explore; like the nature mural painted in one of the down stairs bathrooms. The host Suzanne was delightful, she loved sharing her knowledge of Vermont with us, as well as the background of the "Governors House" she was a great conversationalist and cooks a delicious breakfast! We felt like we were part of her family. What a great get away! I am looking forward to coming back this Summer! If anyone is looking for a great place to stay in Vermont for a fabulous price... Governors House is your place!

An absolutely beautiful expirence. Between the enchanting historic building and the incredibly wholesome hostess. This was a stay we will never forget. Although plans changed last minute our hostess made it her personal mission to ensure our elopement went off without a hitch. Our room was absolutely beautiful. The fresh cleaned linen and warm lighting made the pink room feel cozy.

The Garden Room has a quiet, private entrance. It is spacious and aptly named, with wicker and vintage metal chairs, garden-themed pillows and cushions, and bathroom walls hand-painted with the loveliest of flowers. The house itself is a historical treasure with amazing woodwork, beautifully-appointed rooms, and interesting old photographs on the walls. The breakfast was unsurpassed; the lively conversation with other guests adding to our memorable stay. All guests and the owner were fully vaccinated.

My wife and I had a great romantic weekend at the B&B. Suzanne made us feel welcome and was very attentive to anything we needed. We stayed in the blue room and had a wonderful time sitting on the outside porch in the evening especially watching a little fox that came across the back lawn. Suzanne fixed a wonderful breakfast that was as visually appealing as it was delicious. I am so glad we decided to stay at the Governor's House. It was a refreshing trip in a perfect surrounding.

We stayed at The Governor’s House for our wedding weekend in the fall and it was a tremendous success! The beautiful fall setting and antique ambiance of the house was magical. Staying with immediate family in the charming rooms and getting to eat breakfast together, as well as our reception dinner really lent to the cozy romantic feel. It was a special weekend and Suzanne, our host, really was attuned to all the details so we could enjoy our day. Suzanne is an amazing cook as well and her breakfasts can't be missed!

My daughter and I came to celebrate our Mother’s Day outing. They start serving Tea at 3:00 on Thursday’s and Sundays. Full afternoon Tea is $35 and you get black tea, assorted sandwiches, scones and desserts. Elegant tea dishes and a wonderful hostess to answer any and all questions. I learned the proper way to pour and serve. We enjoyed it immensely. If you loved tea parties as a child, I highly recommend it.
