Cornwall Orchards B&B

[CLOSED]

Cornwall Orchards Bed & Breakfast is a comfortable 1783 Vermont farmhouse between the Green and Adirondack Mountains, situated on 14 acres just two miles from Middlebury College.

Cornwall Orchards Bed and Breakfast offers five guest bedrooms, four with queen beds and one with two beds, all with private baths, three with tub showers and two with tiled stall showers. There is a living room for guests, with a fireplace that is in constant use during the cold months. The dining room is bright and spacious with views to the west and the Adirondacks. There is one handicapped accessible guest bedroom and full bath. There is an outside porch-deck for sitting.

A full breakfast is served, with orange juice, homemade granola, and fruit in season. Also pancakes, our own eggs, with local bacon or sausage. Of course there is coffee, tea, herbal tea, milk and hot chocolate, if desired.

The Middlebury region is steeped in Vermont beauty, including extensive farm and orchard country and the Green Mountains. There is superb hiking nearby, from easy to moderately difficult. The area is steeped in history from three American wars, including Fort Ticonderoga, Mount Independence and the Hubbarton Battlefield.

Fort Ticonderoga alone is worth a family trip, it is beautifully restored and is reached by a little auto ferry across Lake Champlain after a short drive through delightful farm and orchard country. There is golf three minutes from Cornwall Orchards at the eighteen hole Middlebury College Golf Course, which is open to the public.

There is excellent back road cycling from the house, nearby fishing, antiquing and plenty of culture. There are many excellent restaurants in nearby Middlebury and environs. Cross country skiing is close by at Middlebury College's Bread Loaf Ski Touring Center and at Blueberry Hill. Downhill skiing is at the Middlebury College Snowbowl (it's good) and at Sugarbush (forty-five minutes) and Mad River Glen (forty minutes).
