Woodstock offers a quintessential New England stay where simplicity meets scenic beauty. This riverside boutique hotel perfectly blends comfort, warmth, and a touch of modern mountain charm — creating an inviting home base for exploring Woodstock’s historic village and surrounding Green Mountains. With its walkable location just steps from downtown shops, art galleries, and cafés, guests can experience small-town life at its most picturesque while still enjoying easy access to hiking, skiing, and outdoor adventure.


Each of the inn’s 53 guest rooms is thoughtfully designed to reflect Vermont’s natural surroundings, featuring cozy furnishings, modern amenities, and stunning views of the river or village green. Mornings often begin with coffee overlooking the water and end beside a crackling firepit under a canopy of stars. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a leaf-peeping road trip, The Shire Woodstock captures everything travelers love about Vermont — laid-back elegance, breathtaking nature, and an unmistakable sense of place.
