Four Columns Inn

Welcome to our wonderful corner of Vermont at the Four Columns Inn!

The 15-bedroom Four Columns Inn lets guests relax in beautiful Newfane, Vermont, away from the crowded cities and all daily responsibilities. They will have the availability to explore the stunning 138-acre property behind the inn.

Since 1965, the Four Columns Inn has been the touchpoint of Southern Vermont’s cultural, artistic and culinary scene for getaways and vacations. The Inn and its restaurant have welcomed local and international celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Michael Douglas and Sting, who chose our inn to celebrate milestone events. Economist John Kenneth Galbraith frequently shared the dining room with Henry Kissinger in the 1970s.

Sustainability and luxurious healthy living have always been at the core of the inn. In the 1960s, when the inn was first opened as a guest house, it was imagined as a top-level lodging and dining destination with a distinctive European flair. Then operated by René Chardain and his wife Pierrette, the Four Columns Inn was the first true farm-to-table restaurant in the United States, preceding the legendary Alice Waters by four years.

Located within 40 minutes of Mount Snow, Stratton, Magic, and Bromley ski mountains, there's no shortage of winter entertainment in Southern Vermont where the Four Columns Inn stands. Of course, guests can visit in the warmer months and enjoy great opportunities such as hiking at Jamaica State Park, canoeing at a local mountain river, or visiting beautiful waterfalls in Hamilton Falls. Looking for golf activities? There are four golf courses located within 30 minutes of the inn.

After a day filled with activities, guests may indulge at the inn’s on-site tavern or the restaurant.
