The Inn at Shelburne Farms - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a magical place! The feeling of being “spirited” back to the past and seeing the scene of carriages arriving, women in gowns walking the lawns, and guests of the hosts enjoying the warmth of the fireplaces as piano music drifts in and around their conversations. Dining…awesome freshness, creativity, and delicious! First time I’ve had green and wax beans in the breakfast hash and it was so good! Dinner, well let’s say it couldn’t have been any better after my grilled trout but then dessert special came…orange and cardamom sorbet with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries as garnish. Amazing!!!! Burst of flavor I’ve never experienced before and I could barely leave any in the dish even though I was stuffed!! 🥴. This place is a repeat vacation!!!

Had an excellent dinner with some new friends here while on a business trip. All the charm of visiting a Vanderbilt property. Loads of history, really great cocktails, really great food, and really great service. A must stop at if you are in VT. The trout was excellent and the tartar was very delightful. I loved my cocktails. Everything was so nice. Thank you!

just got dinner here but was amazing! our server lucy was very sweet and accommodating. the views were unbeatable and loved the farm-to-table food!

Amazing building and flower garden

This review is specific to our dining experience. The staff was wonderful, friendly and the ambiance was fantastic however, the food (dinner) was not what we expected. The kids burger was tiny and came with no sides (none are offered even for purchase). The lamb and chicken were both very small meals. The shephard's pie for two was delicious, but it was extremely small and definitely not large enough for two people as advertised. For $70 it was not worth it. The mussels special was good, but many of the mussels were closed and could not be eaten. The dessert was delicious. For an almost $700 bill, the food was definitely not what one would expect. We love visiting the farms, and have had brunch (and loved it), but we would not eat dinner at the inn again.

Restaurant review: Food and drink, excellent!! Recommendations: I recommend anything with cheese! 👍🏼That’s always going to be a good bet at shelburne farm. Drink recommendation: “waning gibbous.”👍🏼 Chocolate ice cream was very rich and chocolaty. 👍🏼 My entree was the trout. It was very good. Service, excellent, very friendly! Atmosphere, excellent!! Unique!! Located in an authentic gilded age mansion/estate/farm. Very beautiful. Restaurant is only open in warm months d/t it does not have ac or heating. It did get a little warm too inside. If your the type that runs warm, I’d recommend dressing for the heat,👍🏼 nice shorts/sandals/short sleeves. Would be an excellent place to have a great gatsby /downton abbey party. Price: $300 for 2 adults, 2 kids. To include several drinks and tip.

what an amazing,special.treasure the Inn is.recommend it be on your bucketlist to visit/stay overnight..xoxo

It is a lovely place, but it is also the embodiment of Guilded Age type wealth inequality. The garden is lovely, so if you’re able to get there and can afford a visit, lucky for you.

Gorgeous mansion on lake Champlain. Beautiful gardens everything is well maintained. Very accommodating with luggage and service. After noon tea was special. Breakfast is a feast.

Restaurant: had a dinner there, both left underwhelmed. Burrata with pesto was great but the gorgeous bread coming with it was burnt and tough to bite. Oysters didn’t have much taste (tasted like lake water to me). Shells with meat were … rustic. Not impressive. Decent home cooking. Nothing elevated. Scallops were too salty (altho perfectly seared and fresh) and the clam sauce they came with was too salty too. Didn’t finish. The Cherry pot de creme was below average too. Cocoa nibs don’t belong there - they are bitter and way too tough to bite compared to other ingredients. Didn’t enjoy the dessert. Waiters and staff were pure perfection, location and view are magnificent.

Came for breakfast. The inn looks gorgeous. The interior is so beautiful. The garden is beautiful. The breakfast is fresh with ingredients from the farm. Have to get outdoor seating to see the lake view!

(Restaurant Only.) Absolutely a must visit if you are in town or near Burlington. I don't understand any of the bad reviews regarding portion size and pricing. All menu items were described by our waitress as basically appetizer size and meant to be shared. Don't like to share? You can order 1 lighter item as an appetizer and 2 protein items to make up a full entrée. My wife and I ordered 5 items in total and shared everything. It was just right. Go back in time when the Vanderbilt's lived there and enjoy a great experience with fantastic food and beautiful ambiance. You won't be disappointed.

This review is specifically for the restaurant: We made a reservation for dinner on a Friday night and Shelburne Farms did not disappoint. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with a great deal of love and attention to detail. The service was excellent, with our hostess and waiter both being incredibly gracious and engaging. Much of the food in the restaurant is grown on the farm (or from other local providers) and you can taste the freshness. Normal items such as carrots, beets, baby lettuce, and tomatoes are used in inventive ways and have more intensity of taste that anything you could get in the grocery store. We enjoyed the burrata, beet bolognese, trout, and squash & squid salad. We will certainly be going back and look forward to another amazing meal each time!

We stopped in for a wine flight. The flights are named with The Office characters. I enjoyed an Eden Iced Cider. Staff were super friendly, and the outside seating was lovely.

***My review is specifically for the restaurant*** It was a very much sub-par experience and is probably not reflective of a normal evening there, but alas I did not have a great dinner. Service was at times slow, especially at the bar... Me and someone else ordered ~10 drinks at the bar for a group. they forgot one, so I sat there off to the side for about 5 minutes waiting for them to either get it for me or to at least acknowledge me and ask what I was waiting for. I got neither and eventually just got back in line. The couple in front of me ordered like 3 drinks. I heard the lead bartender tell the other that he'd handle their drinks, and that he should help me. But evidently the other didn't hear this and proceeded to make the 3 drinks. Neither one noticed they were making the exact same drinks, which took about 10 minutes. Then finally once they both finish (at remarkably consistent times), they notice the error. then one of them helps me. So it took about 20 minutes to get a canned cider... Once we sat (a party of 10) we were told that we'd have to do the fixed sharing dishes and that we can't order individually. I get it... but this was not made clear to us ahead of time and I think we were all looking forward to trying some of the regular menu items. The food was good but nothing amazing. Also during dinner I ordered a cocktail. after 20 minutes, nothing. I thought maybe they couldn't do that cocktail or the bar was still slow/busy, so I figured eh I'll just get something else. But the server was MIA for another 15 minutes so I couldn't get anything. It was (I believe) the restaurant's opening weekend post-COVID, so I can forgive some things. And I believe my experience would be better if I came in a group of 2-3, instead of 10.

Went to the inn to walk through the garden. One of my favorite places to enjoy peonies. Awesome place!!

A little slice of the Rockefellers good life tucked away on Lake Champlain Vermont

Excellent trails and views including this waterfront point just west of the Coach Barn.

Just wonderful i also loved the water view and they let ppl drive to see it if u have a handy cap card. Also they have trails for ppl to walk on it is very very long

Nice site. Expensive. Restaurant closed to the public.

One of kind magical place and experience :)

Didnt eat there but got baguette from bakery and tomatoes from store

Can’t get better than the views and the historic ambiance!

Excellent cocktails, food and service. We're delighted the Inn is open again

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life. The interior is spectacular and the views of the lake are even more spectacular. Probably the single most beautiful place on the entire east coast. So tasteful and so special.

Visiting the Inn has always felt like some ethereal combination of personal oasis and shared daydream, but after twenty years of succulent meals and countless friendships celebrated, it begins to feel a little like home as well.

The barn where they make cheese needs to be better marked. No entrance sign. Pick a door. I went in to the one that said managers office. I got to where everything is. Bakery needs directions to also.

Such a beautifully maintained farm. Peaceful and great place to spend time.

Beautiful yet a little /lot rustic but elegant. Gorgeous former Vanderbilt home. The staff is 5 star but understated, helpful and professional. Comfortable beds and lovely to gorgeous rooms. Fires in the fireplaces, unusual and creative menu in the dining room. We were all quite happy. Barns, bakery and cheesemaking on the expansive grounds.

A chance conversation with the person who issued tickets for the farm visit resulted in my husband and me having a wonderful meal at the farm inn. We had dinner out on the patio, the sun had just gone down and the view was out of this world. The service excellent and the food was so delicious. The lamb and beef that we ordered together with the sides was the best we have had anywhere. The beef was cooked to perfection and the lamb was so tender. They graciously obliged to my husband’s request to swap the sides and the servers suggestion of the lemon caramel was the icing on the cake. It’s well worth the price and we would love to go again.

The Inn is closed for the season but the trails are open all winter for wonderful walks.

Beautiful place. Such a nice atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone

Super fun place. Very beautiful scenery

What an awesome place! Beautiful grounds, friendly service! A wonderful place to grab a glass of wine and sit out back to watch the sunset...AWESOME!

The tour was interesting, the property is beautiful and the cheese is AMAZING!

Honestly a breath taking place that almost feels like your in a whole other world

Gorgeous views and great food! We attended my brother's wedding there and it was stunning!!

The food was absolutely delicious. All the food is made with whatever is grown at the farm. You can't turn the chicken vegan, I asked so you don't have to!

Delicious breakfast spot. Gorgeous veiws.

Beautiful view of the lake. Got a drink at the bar and watched the sun set from the lawn. A wonderful evening!

Truly amazing estate where you are transported back in time.

Exquisite atmosphere where we enjoyed a gourmet breakfast before touring Vermont’s best views of the lake and Adirondacks, and the formal gardens. It is soul-enriching!

My wife and I have stayed here 3 times over the past years and enjoy coming back to this gem on Lake Champlain, and we also leave looking forward to our next visit. It is beautiful both inside and out, and the vast grounds (1,400 acres) are made for walking, running, biking, and exploring. We were here recently on a hot weekend, but even without a/c, our room on the second floor, which was very spacious, was comfortable with just a couple of fans. While I’m rating it 5 stars, I would give it 4 stars because I think the food is a little over-priced, though very good, but I’d also give it 6 stars (if I could) for the amazing surroundings that you will find yourself taking in as you walk the grounds or kayak on the lake, as we did, and breath in the fresh Green Mountain air. We waited 5 years to go back for this last visit, but I think we will return again much sooner.

I went on the Shelburne Farms tour and visited the inn. I enjoyed the atmosphere inside, and the view from the lawn was amazing. It was great to hear about the history of the house, and then to see that story continued at the Shelburne museum.

Beautiful well preserved inn that has become one of the greatest educational farms ive ever been to. We came for breakfast at noon, which gave us free entrance into shelburne farms. The food was great and the experience amazing.

Great Sunday brunch. Almost all of the food is local with some of it produced right on their farm.

Beautiful place. Food wasn't as spectacular as the last time we were here but it was still a wonderful meal. I'll be back.

The Inn is a grand reminder of the gilded age. A Summer house restored to its former glory. The views from the lake front are very relaxing.

Food was amazing! Definitely expensive but worth it. I would suggest sharing plates to get the best bang for your buck. Ask the waitstaff for suggestions and advice because these cooks are always coming up with something interesting and new. Not to gloss it over but all their food is grown on site and the farm to table ingredients are splendid!

The food is awesome. The view incredible.

Beautiful historic Victorian Vanderbilt summer house turned into an Inn to support the non-profit environmental and agricultural education mission of Shelburne Farms. The cuisine is exceptional based on local farm produced ingredients. Do not miss this experience!

Beautiful place with an amazing barn. Loved the cheddar croissant from the bakery!

Wonderful food and great ambiance. Grab a drink and enjoy the sunset!

Hands down the best dinning experience in Vermont! Very formal, great staff and beautiful location. Highly recommend to anyone who has never been and is willing to try this unique experience.

Love the breakfast and views at the Inn

Excellent food and service. I enjoyed breakfast with my family. One of my favorite places in Shelburne. Homemade bread and pancakes are amazing!

Had a wonderful stay during a professional conference. Got to stay in The Glass House with my colleagues which included an unbeatable view of Lake Champlain, comfortable rooms, and easy access to the In. Food throughout the stay was incredible and the staff was all very hospitable and professional. I would definitely recommend for anyone to stay here and enjoy a quiet visit at the farm.

It was a gorgeous Vermont day, celebrating Cancer Survivors.

The best place to go. That is all.

An amazing estate! Wonderful Inn, excellent restaurant! Love the farm, the long walks, peace and quiet!

Such a beautiful tranquil spot!

Gorgeous! Went for a friend's wedding and loved every minute!

What a gem, the grounds on Lake Champlain are perfect, the food is well above par and the rooms are a delight. Make sure to visit the farm.

I visited the grounds as the Inn is closed this time of year. I believe it is located in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Beautiful Inn. Dinner was very good, but not outstanding. Views and Inn are worth the trip

Absolutely beautiful place to come and sip a fine crafted drink by the water on Adirondack chairs. If it gets chilly outside, there's a crackling fire inside to warm you right up. I have only come here for drinks - I brought some out of town friends and they were very impressed.

Went for Saturday breakfast @ 10AM. An excellent meal with an attentive waiter. All in a beautifully maintained historic Inn. I will be going back.

The location is absolutely beautiful with areas for very large groups and gatherings. Beach and water access are easy enough, and there's plenty of space along the shore for those who would rather read a book or catch some sun!

Simply amazing property and views.

Great local beers, excellent accomodations, attentive staff, and all around good time. Don't forget that members get a room discount during certain periods in May and September.

Really nice place with lots of history.

Went for a wedding. Stunning scenery, yummy food, cute inside. Nice petting zoo as well

Delicious food, beautiful views. Worth the visit

Wonderful staff. Shelburne farms is a beautiful location for any meal

Absolutely beautiful--my most favorite restaurant in Vermont--possibly anywhere!

Elegant relaxation with miles of great farm hiking and activities!

A beautiful property to walk and stroll, with a working farm there's often a chance to see and even take part in some farm operations, such as cow and goat milking, maple sugaring, or feeding baby animals. Lovely, relaxing, rustic and peaceful.

A not only a historical place,more is to bring people thin and education

Closed in the winter. Gorgeous location and scenery.

beautiful spot. make sure to have a reservation ahead of time as you cannot simply "stop in" to check out the farm's restaurant

Great place. Just walked around the grounds for the day, but looks like a nice place to stay.

Shelburne Farms is just breathtaking anytime of the year. Whether you are staying at the beautiful inn or just walking around the farmland, the views are amazing and the people are wonderful.

My wife and I went to the inn for out 10 year anniversary. Everything was perfect from the gorgeous view to the food and professional staff. I will happily dine there again.

As this is in the restaurant section of a Google search I just on Shelburne, I can say this is a Fodors Top 100 hotels in America and the food is exquisite. Brunch on the weekends is a treat, and quite reasonable. The multi hundred acre grounds on the lake are a great way to walk off the eggs Benedict.

Beautiful inn, grounds, lake, farm, restaurant and staff.

We just did the tour, the place was beautiful

The area and the view were extremely nice. Close to Burlington. Rooms were clean.

The farm is an excellent tourist spot and fun for children.

Did a tour of Shelburne farms that includeD the Inn. It's gorgeous inside and out and seems to be really relaxing. Beautiful view of Lake Champlain and the countryside. (Of course, if you don't mind the occasional tour group on the ground floor.)

Magnificent location. Service, food and drinks to match.

Beautiful location, setting, and overall experience.

I just was walking through Shelburne farms on the weekends as usual and the inn at Shelburne farms is always beautiful with the lake as is backdrop.

非常漂亮的農場，強烈推薦。 就像中世紀古堡般的建築，佔地遼闊，從入口走到農場古堡要分鐘。 可以購買農場字既製作的麵包，起司，牛奶。 適合全家大小。

This is a lovely place to have supper with a breath taking view of the Adirondaks. 35$ per person + your drinks. Memorable

I have been living in Burlington for over 5 years now and the Inn at Shelburne Farms provided me with the best meal that I have ever. Not only was the food impeccable (try the goat cheese mashed potatoes -- wow!), but the over all experience was out of this world. Fantastic views, open lawns to hangout on and friendly, attentive staff. I would HIGHLY recommend this for everyone.
