Host profile image
For 38 years, my family has owned and run the nearby Wilburton Inn resort, which has won the #1 Best of the Best Award on TripAdvisor for multiple years. We also own Earth Sky Time Farm and Bakery, one of the most beloved organic farms in Vermont. ??We invite you to stroll through the remarkable Museum of the Creative Process sculpture collection on The Wilburton grounds. Join us for theme events at The Wilburton including Murder Mystery weekends, Canine Christmas Doggie Slumber Parties, Summer Cabarets, Music Festivals on our family farm. INNcredible Retreats for women and Creativity for Self Discovery Workshops with our Museum. ??We have lived in Manchester for over 50 years. We love sharing our historic and beautiful town with guests.

The Wilburton is a family run business. As we sing in our theme song, “We didn’t buy it to run it like a Hyatt.” We bought The Wilburton to share our love of Vermont with you.

We look forward welcoming you to Vermont!

Why they chose this property

Our parents had dinner at The Wilburton to celebrate my dad’s 50th birthday — and he decided to spontaneously buy the inn that night!
We moved from New Haven CT to Manchester VT in 1972 and have been 3 generation of Levis Family Innkeepers since 1987. After 25 years living in Manhattan as an adult, I understand why our parents moved to Vermont and all our guests love to visit.

What makes this property unique

Enormous private home where you can gather with your whole family and group of friends and colleagues. Safe, quiet, exclusive grounds far away from the road yet nearby so many things to do in Manchester.
