Green River Inn

Sandgate, Vermont.

We invite all who seek to relax, rejuvenate and explore the natural harmony of the mountains, the soothing sounds of the river, the magnificent star-filled skies and the beautiful surrounding valley.

Bed and Breakfast Description

In 1934 Mathias and Frances Lorenz bought a farmhouse on the Green River in Sandgate, and started raising chickens. They welcomed their friends who came from the city to visit. The farm became the Evergreen Inn when the farmhouse was enlarged, and six tiny evergreens were planted in front. The Lorenz's daughter, Matilda, and her husband, Kenny eventually began running the Southern Vermont Bed and Breakfast.

Their seasonal Inn was a haven for many city people seeking a country retreat and for local artists who felt inspired by the natural beauty of the area. Many artists would place their easel on the grounds and create beautiful landscapes, some of which still hang in the Inn today. Many of Matilda's original guests continue to visit the Inn bringing their children and grandchildren. Matilda, who lives locally, still drops by to say "hi" or visits with old friends. Her natural charisma continues to add old world charm to the Inn.

In 2004, the Inn was purchased by Bob and Carol Potozney, who now invite guests to enjoy the charm of the past, the luxury of modern amenities.

The twelve individually decorated guest rooms feature king and queen size beds, private baths and air conditioning. The rooms have been beautifully decorated with quilts, down comforters and Waverly prints. Four one-room suites have balconies overlooking the peaceful Green River. Fireplaces and whirlpools ensure a special romantic hideaway.
