Reluctant Panther Inn and Restaurant

Bucolic Luxury

Rural luxury defines this Manchester Village hotel. The 20 rooms and suites offer fireplaces, clawfoot soaking tubs, and luxurious bedding. Dining, in a dramatic room with deep aubergine drapes framing breathtakingly beautiful Vermont vistas, is sophisticated: the menu features local ingredients paired with an award-winning wine list. Each season brings different options for adventure, from antiquing to skiing to the many summer festivals.

What it's like

You may not be in a hurry to leave your room: lush décor includes Frette robes and 300 thread count sheets, four poster beds set a romantic mood, and every room comes with a fireplace. Complimentary breakfast for two is cooked to order.

High-end meets history

Small touches

Homemade chocolate chip cookies are left bedside, accompanying "turndown stories" of local lore--all to set the mood for a peaceful or romantic night. 

Eat and drink
