Every town has its secrets. Ludlow, Vermont has better ones than most.

From our porch in the heart of town, the Governor's Inn has learned the kind of local knowledge the guidebooks skip.

Come stay, and we will let you in on the rest.

Every town has its secrets. Ludlow, Vermont has better ones than most.

After 68 years in this valley, our team has learned a few things that the trail maps and tourism guides do not tell you. The kind of local knowledge that takes years to earn — and that makes the difference between visiting a place and truly knowing it.

This is the Okemo Valley that locals live in. And it is even better than the one visitors see.

Thinking about making it permanent? We would love to show you around.

Kind words about the Vermont Inn to Inn Walking Tour - and we're proud to be one of the stops! 🌄

There's something wonderfully old-fashioned about seeing Vermont at ten miles a day: mountain views, quiet backroads, and a warm welcome waiting at the end of every walk. We love throwing open our doors to travelers who've spent the day on foot, ready for a comfortable room, a home-cooked meal, and a good night's rest before the next leg.

Walk from inn to inn with our friends at Inn Victoria, Golden Stage Inn, and COHO Inn & Motor Lodge - and let The Governor's Inn here in Ludlow be one of your stops along the way.

Unplug, reset, and see Vermont the way it's meant to be seen. 🍁

This Vermont Inn to Inn Walking Tour is so much fun! https://spr.ly/6182ST6gA “Each day we were greeted by welcoming innkeepers into their beautiful, unique inns and enjoyed wonderful meals!” If you ever need to unplug and reset, check out Vermont Inn to Inn Walking Tour. 5-Stars!

Mountains in your mirrors, open road over your handlebars, and Vermont's best backroads curving right past our front porch. Route 100, the gaps, the byways that twist through the Green Mountains - Ludlow sits smack in the middle of some of the finest riding in the Northeast.

Roll in after a long day in the saddle, park the bike, and let us handle the rest: a comfortable room, a proper breakfast to fuel tomorrow's ride, and a quiet corner to swap stories about the passes you conquered.

The Governor's Inn - your basecamp for the ride. 🏍️🍁

Vermont in August means expansive fields of goldenrod, too much zucchini, and long sunburned days frolicking in mountain lakes. Vermonters hold tight to August, lest those long summer days slip through our fingers before we’ve eaten enough corn-on-the-cob or danced at enough concerts in the park.

Need some end-of-summer inspiration? Celebrate August in Vermont by putting these fabulous events on your calendar. Read more in the comments. 👇👇
