The space
(Parties and events are not permitted.)

The Henry House is a unique historic Vermont residence, where guest rooms are decorated in subtle tones and furnished with a curated collection of fine antiques. Each room reflects the character and heritage of the house while offering comfortable spaces for rest and relaxation.

The Borning Room, located on the first floor, features a cherry wood four-poster queen bed and offers a quiet setting ideal for a tranquil retreat.

William Henry Room showcases an antique oak queen bed and overlooks expansive back meadows, streams, and pine forests. These two rooms share a newly renovated bathroom.

The elegant Ballroom serves as the centerpiece of the Henry House. This spacious upstairs room features a king-size four-poster bed, soaring 14-foot ceilings, a comfortable sitting area, and a private bath. Decorated with period antiques, it reflects the historic charm of the home.

The Mary Henry Room, a charming upstairs corner room, includes two twin poster beds and offers views of lush green fields, stone walls, and a gently meandering brook.

Upstairs, the Burt Henry Room is a spacious Guest chamber with exposed woodwork reminiscent of colonial times. Furnished with antique pieces, This bed began as a rope bed from our family farmhouse—once smaller and strung by hand. We carefully expanded it to a queen so it could still be used today, while keeping its original character,, a comfortable sitting area, and a private bath. Windows provide views of the Burt Henry Covered Bridge, the Walloomsac River, and the heart-shaped pond.

The Sarah Henry Room is a second-floor suite furnished with a queen canopy bed and an adjoining cozy sitting area with a twin daybed and window seat. From here, guests can enjoy views of the Walloomsac River and the Burt Henry Covered Bridge. The suite also includes a private bath.
