Detailed Reviews
Charlie and Megan (innkeepers) are gracious hosts who sincerely care about every detail of their beautiful property and making your stay a special one. The downtown Wilmington location is picturesque, and the inn is located across from a scenic hiking trail. There are board games, camp fires (with smores), free bottles of water, locally made afternoon treats, continuous coffee, and other endless details to make you feel taken cared for. Downtown Wilmington is so captivating and beautiful, and the inn fits in perfectly with the historic charm of the area. There is so much to see and do in this seemingly quiet town. We can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at the Wilmington Inn for a long weekend and had such a lovely time. We felt safe traveling knowing that Chris called us ahead of time to ensure our covid compliance; Chris also told us about their cleaning protocols and how they leave time between guests. Meghan is a wonderful cook and baker! She made our stay special with home cooked breakfasts (the apple cinnamon pancakes were the best!) and daily homemade cookies which were such a treat. Great location and stay overall, we will be back!

We came to VT for a weekend getaway with some foliage and for a change of both scenery and pace. This was our third time staying at the Wilmington. Cozy accommodations, wonderful breakfasts, clean room. As for Covid concerns, Charlie and Megan seemed to have thought of everything already. My wife and I had concerns since this was our first stay away from home since the pandemic began. Sanitizer and wipes were available at every turn and all the little things were done right. Charlie was able to make a few recommendations on attractions and dining, and the property is within an easy walking distance to town. All in all a great weekend - I’d highly recommend a stay here.

Loved the breakfast. Great egg skillet. Easily a $20-$25 comparable cost at a restaurant with coffee, juice, toast, meat, and complimentary small piece of cake/danish. Tremendous value with the room. Loved the little bar to get in common area with fantastic drinks! Owner/operators are the best.

I was greeted upon arrival by the Charlie, one of the innkeepers, who greeted me and showed me the room as well as explaining the many offerings of the room and inn. The room had a charming gas fireplace as well as a wood stove in the common area both of which came in handy while 30" of snow fell outside. There are locally made cookies available as well as filtered water. Breakfasts (offered at a nominal price) are hot and plentiful. There's a 11 mile Valley Trail entrance directly behind the inn for hiking and snowshoeing. The inn is on the edge of town (yet in town!) and set back from the main road which makes it surprisingly quiet. Highly recommended!

We loved having you during the HUGE storm! So glad you found what you were looking for! (please note breakfast is included in our rates, this guest booked a no breakfast rate and decided to add it onsite). See you for the next storm!

The Wilmington Inn was everything we were hoping for and more! Charlie and Meagan are such welcoming hosts and made sure that every minute of our stay, we were taken care of. The breakfast was amazing each morning and the eggs are from Hens that are on the property! The fireplace was such a cozy spot to hang out, talk with other guests, enjoy a drink and play board games after a long day on the mountain. The inn is perfect walking distance from the center of town and Charlie & Meagan provided us with such great advice for restaurants. We even had the pleasure of being there during a snow storm and they went the extra mile by cleaning off all the guests cars and making sure we can get out of the driveway in the morning by plowing all through the night. They keep Meagan's homemade treats by the door to snack on at all hours and they change each day. Could not recommend this place enough.

Thank you for wonderful short vacation. We absolutely loved it! Inn is located right downtown, easy to walk to restaurants, Charlie and Megan are doing amazing job. We loved our room, breakfast are included, our children loved the waffles with Vermont maple syrup. Also they have chickens nearby and they use their eggs, so fun to visit. We loved the outdoor fire pit and s’mores were complimentary which was a nice touch for children.
The room we stayed in had a little balcony with outdoor seating which was perfect for morning coffee or book reading. We will definitely be back. We can’t wait.

Convenient location to village. Staff was very nice and attentive. Breakfast selection was limited, but was tasty. Inn was tidy. Room was very small, not as spacious as indicated on the website. Finish carpentry was poorly done and made the room look cheap. Television was too small for the room. Air conditioner was screwed into the only egress besides the door. We were told when we arrived that COVID masks and social distancing rules applied. A private wedding party arrived the afternoon of the second day with people of all ages, none of whom wore masks or adhered to social distancing from Saturday afternoon through the time we left on Sunday. This led to us being unable to safely enjoy some of the amenities offered by the Inn.

Thank you for your review of the Inn. Appreciate that you liked breakfast. It is disappointing to hear that our Inns charm was not up to your liking, The room you were in was recently renovated so we do think its great, but that is our opinion. Thank you for the AC feedback that is a great point and we will move it to the other window. The private small wedding group you mention was outside for their event, I think you mean that they children did take over the fire pit and smores area, we do apologize if you could not enjoy at that time, as you know we are doing our best to monitor all areas and keep all guests following the rules but it is difficult with small children and when those are outside. We of course would have spoken to them if made aware. Nonetheless we do want all of our guests to feel comfortable so wish we could have helped facilitate when you were on site. Thank you again.

We stayed in a suite on the top floor. Here is the good: proximity to town and skiing, breakfast was good, room was comfortable enough and a good size for a family of 4.
Unfortunately the bad did outweigh the good. We felt the owners were not very welcoming. We chose to sit in the common area living room after dinner but the owner kept it very very cold. He seemed more concerned about his expenses than the comfort of his guests. There was a fireplace but it did not give off very much heat. We got to meet the wife at breakfast the next morning. She was in the kitchen making breakfast. When she came out to better understand our order, she rolled her eyes at us. All of this over a few eggs. The hired waitress was also not very accommodating. (Filling 1 glass of water and ignoring the others, not asking about more hot water for tea…). While our room was mostly clean we did spot large dustballs in hard to reach places (like behind the bed)
The owners seemed nice but we left thinking why are they running a B&B? They do not seem to really enjoy their guests. Anyway, these were only a few examples from our stay. We did not feel very welcome in their home. We chose this B&B because of the reviews. Clearly others have had different experiences. Maybe we caught them during a bad week. The INN does have good features which are mentioned on top. This could easily be a 4 star review with a few changes. I hope others will benefit from my comments.

Thank you for expressing good features and then concerns. While a conversation about temperature never occurred with us, We will just let our other reviews speak for themselves here and simply say while we did try very very hard, you can’t please everyone. We love our jobs and believe the passion and handwork shows. Megan (the wife)

We really feel "at home" when staying at the Wilmington Inn. Charlie and Megan are really kind and welcoming, and there if you need anything. The breakfasts are such a treat! My kids especially loved the belgian waffles :) The Inn was clean and everyone respected the COVID rules which made us feel very comfortable there. We stayed in one of the suites and found there to be plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy out stay. We look forward to returning again (hopefully soon!)

Hello! Memorial hall is a short walk from our Inn, right in town!
Mount Snow is exactly 8 miles from the Wilmington Inn to the mountain. Drive time is 20 minutes on Route 100. You can also take the Moovers bus from downtown Wilmington to the Mountain for free!
