Waitsfield and
Warren A wonderfully secluded setting on nine acres next to the Sugarbush Golf Course and Ski Touring Center, a quaint Vermont home dating to the 1850s and welcoming hosts commend this eight-room B&B. Not to be overlooked are luxury amenities, gourmet breakfasts, occasional dinners and charming common rooms. Peter
and Susan MacLaren bought West Hill House in April 2006.

eight guest quarters have queen or king/twin beds and gas fireplaces.

There is a huge living room with a stone fireplace, comfortable chairs and a round table ideal for playing board games. At the side is a small wet bar, where guests help themselves to snacks, soft drinks, beer and wine using the honor system. From the living room you walk through to the bright, vaulted-ceiling sunroom with windows onto the gardens on three sides. It provides access to the large deck – covered with a high canopy in the summer months – and pathways to the gardens. At the front of the house is a massive library with brick fireplace, where there’s a pool table for guest use. Guests relax on the wicker-filled front porch or the large side deck facing bird feeders, tiny red squirrels, a gazebo built from birch logs, ornamental ponds and prolific gardens. Guests who stroll in the gardens find delightful places to sit and relax. Breakfast
on the deck or in the beamed English antique dining room begins with
juice, homemade sweet breads or muffins and a special fruit dish. The
menu of the day might include sweet pepper scrambled eggs, ginger
pancakes with lemon sauce, pain perdu with Susan, who loves to cook and entertain, prepares optional candlelight dinners with soup, salad, entrée and dessert on Saturday evenings by prior arrangement for six or more guests. Among guest favorites are roast chicken basted with maple syrup over roasted vegetables, braised pork chops with onions and apples, coq au vin and beef bourguignonne.
