Manchester's Wilburton Inn Delivers Autumn Leaves in Castle-Like Setting in Vermont's Southern Mount
MANCHESTER, VT, September 6, 2005. Scattered across America are early 20th century country estates that resemble small castles. For example, in Manchester, VT., The Wilburton Inn is a 39 room, gabled, turn-of-century (20th) gem with wrap-around terrace offering an elevated, hard-to-beat perspective of the upcoming foliage season.
Nightly room rates for leaf peeping from Sept. 29 through Oct. 24 range from $180 to $315 inclusive of spacious accommodations, a full country breakfast in what was once a billiard room with a view and afternoon refreshments in front of a fall fire. (A 9 percent Vermont tax and 10 percent gratuity are not included.)
Also available is a separate on-property dwelling, Reunion House that accommodates up to 14 in seven bedrooms for a nightly foliage rate of $950. Get-aways from now to Sept. 28 are nightly from $135 -$225 midweek and $150 -$250 on weekends.
The 20-acre estate that commands the best views in the region was at one time the largest private estate in Manchester. On premise are the mansion, five villas, tennis courts, a swimming pool, sculpture gardens and, in season, vibrant flower beds. Golfing and skiing are minutes from the estate, as is this southern Vermont town's famous shopping area.
