For over 100 years, the Crafts Inn has been a delightful destination in the heart of Vermont. Featuring a great location, pool and sauna, and historic architecture, we would be thrilled to welcome you as our guest. The Crafts Inn, along with Memorial Hall (which is next door), were designed by architects, Mead, McKim & White, with the New York firm of Stanford White.
White was considered one of the preeminent architects of his time. The hotel was built more as a resort for visitors who would be staying for an extended period, as opposed to other accommodations in the area, designed largely for travelers passing through. A lot of people would come up from the city. The men would send their families up for a long-term stay, maybe for a month during the summer.
It was a very popular place back then. The Crafts, one of the town's founding families according to local historians, had come into the hotel business through what is now the Vermont House (which still resides across the street from Crafts Inn).
