Barrows House is your Vermont inn for all seasons and for all reasons. Our unique facilities and extensive grounds make us a special place for a family gathering, a wedding, a small business meeting or a spur-of-the-moment vacation.

The feeling is that of a time gone by, yet with modern conveniences that make a visit to our inn completely comfortable. There is a story to every Barrows House room or cottage: each furnished in its own restful style with antiques, family pieces and modern bedding! Each of our houses has its own sitting room, porch or terrace; several have fireplaces, all have air conditioning.

The glowing hearth in our main inn living room and cozy the library-look of our fully licensed Tavern provide all the opportunity one could desire for companionship or privacy.

Barrows House is open year round with every season offering its special attraction in Southern Vermont and the inn. In spring, summer and early fall, our own pool and two tennis courts are available for your enjoyment and bicycles can be borrowed for leisurely rides around Dorset and through the Mettowee River Valley.

Nearby Manchester offers a dazzling array of shopping adventures and a challenging 18-hole golf course for the serious golfer. Horseback riding and trout fishing on the famed Battenkill and Mettowee Rivers are found close by, and hiking trails abound throughout the area. In winter, the downhill runs of Bromley and Stratton are within a short drive, and we strongly recommend the special pleasures to be found in ski touring. A wide variety of trails and terrains are available within a short distance. Our sauna will be ready with a warm welcome when you return.

Whatever your pleasure...the pursuit of antiques, enjoying a production at the Dorset Playhouse, an exhibit at the Southern Vermont Art Center, auctions, flea markets, the breathtaking colors of Vermont's fall foliage...you will always find a warm reception at Barrows House.
