Nestled in the panoramic Mountains, The Inn at Essex provides gracious hospitality where stylish charm and rich service are basic ingredients of every stay. Run by the New England Culinary Institute the restaurants at the Inn are fabulous, and the location ideal for a Northern Vermont adventure. The committee’s advice? Drive up one fine fall weekend during the peak of leaf peeping, the surrounding hills are outrageous... but summer, spring and winter are also perfect  as swiming, hiking and skiing are all nearby.  .
