Grand gates of Vermont granite lead into this European chateau-style property just east of the village center. The rooms are reminiscent of those in an English countryside, with bay windows and marble-floored baths, and the public spaces are plush with Oriental rugs and Austrian crystal chandeliers. Gala Restaurant serves a mix of continental and American cuisine; visitors can dine outdoors in the garden during summer months.
