Vermont Highland House

Historic Vermont house, retreat pace

United States Londonderry paid

An 1860s Vermont house sets a distinctly domestic tone for retreat stays in Londonderry. Its layout spans two separate buildings, with the kitchen in the Annex, a practical detail that gives the property a more lived-in character than a conventional single-building lodge. Historic character sits alongside modern comforts, while the setting places guests in Vermont’s highland region. The arrangement is worth knowing when planning a stay: ask which building holds your room and what shared spaces are included. Retreat programming, practice style, meal arrangements, and daily schedules can vary by date, so contact the host before booking. The center maintains its public presence on Instagram, a direct route for checking upcoming dates, lodging details, and current rates. Here, the historic house itself is the clearest point of distinction.
