The Dorset Inn

09/07/2026

Some guests check in with a little more enthusiasm than others.

The Dorset Inn has always been a place to feel at home, and that includes four-legged travelers. Bring your best friend along for village walks, Vermont trails and a little time away together.

And the dog-friendly spirit extends well beyond the Inn, with stops throughout the area like H.N. Williams, J.K. Adams, Northshire Bookstore and Orvis welcoming pups, too.

Dogs welcome. Treats highly likely.

Select guest rooms are dog-friendly. Please let us know when booking so we can help find the right room for you and your pup.

A fresh look for Owl’s Head at The Dorset Inn.

Recently refreshed, this tucked-away second-floor King Suite pairs classic Dorset character with plenty of room to make yourself at home. A separate living room with a gas fireplace, four-poster king bed, and spacious bath with a whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, heated marble floors, and towel warmer make Owl’s Head an especially comfortable escape.

A classic at The Restaurant at The Dorset Inn. Prince Edward Island mussels with chorizo, roasted tomatoes, garlic butter, Chardonnay and plenty of garlic bread for the sauce.

Add the fries. You won’t regret it.

Late summer at The Dorset Inn, when the gardens are still in full bloom, the days linger a little longer, and Dorset feels especially beautiful.

There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy.

A fresh chapter for some of our historic guest rooms at The Dorset Inn.

The Ethan Allen room has been thoughtfully redecorated, pairing classic New England character with added comfort while preserving the charm of the Inn’s original 1796 setting. More room transformations are taking shape throughout the Inn, with each one designed to feel true to its history.

A look back at last night’s special dining event at The Dorset Inn, where guests gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris, one of the most pivotal moments in modern wine history.

The evening began with five paired wine tastings, followed by the Grand Finale Wine Judgement, bringing together exceptional wines, thoughtful cuisine and great company in the historic setting of The Dorset Inn.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening. Stay tuned for more special events and dining experiences throughout the seasons.
