Many people have asked how The Colonial House began and how it came into the hands of our family. Here are some of the historical tidbits about the Inn and its Innkeepers. Since Vermont was established as a State in 1791, only three families have owned the land on which the Inn was built. The original Cape Cod house was built between 1790 and 1810.
It was the home of the Richardson's and was a farm that they owned until the middle 1960's. In 1967, the house and 12 acres of land were purchased by Jean and Chuck Savage. In 1968, they added the Inn rooms and renovated the room that is now the Guest Living Room. Motel rooms 1 through 7, formerly part of the Palmer House in Manchester, VT, were cut into two sections and hauled over the mountains to Weston in 1969.

Meals

IMPORTANT: Breakfast is still served daily, but the tables have been moved apart and seating is with your own traveling party only. We have limitations on the number of people who can be in the dinning room at a time, so check with us to see if we are staggering the seating times for breakfast. We appreciate your patience with all the new rules!
Directions
Report
Please stay on the main roads when traveling to Weston as dirt roads are frequently not well maintained or plowed in the winter. Take the Taconic State Parkway to NY 295E, last exit before tolls. Proceed about 10 miles to NY 22N at stop light. Turn left and drive about 25-30 miles to NY 7E and turn right to Bennington, Vt.

The Inn & Motel
Report
The Inn Rooms at the Colonial House are upstairs in the farmhouse section above the guest living room. Two rooms in the original Cape Cod farmhouse, Inn rooms 1 & 2 with two single beds in each, were renovated in 2010 to become one room, Inn 1. Located at the end of the hall in a section that dates back to 1790 - 1810, Inn 1 is a lovely oasis with a wide pine plank floors, a queen bed, rocker and love seat.
