Saxton's River, Vermont, situated in the Connecticut River valley, was once voted "best small town to live in." The area is ideal for hiking, biking, cross country and downhill skiing, horseback riding, snowmobiling, antiquing, historical tours and walking tours. We are very close to Okemo Mountain Resort and Grafton Ponds Nordic Ski & Mountain Bike Center.

Saxtons River is also the home of one of New England's finest preparatory schools, Vermont Academy. The Inn at Saxton's River, just steps away, is the logical choice for parents and guests of the historic school.

Saxtons River is a walking community and walking to the river or up to the Academy is a great way to explore classic small town Vermont.

The "Saxtons River Hotel" was erected in 1817 by Captain Jonathan Barron, and completed by Colonel Carter Whitcomb.

During various years, a hall in this building was occupied by the Masonic Fraternity of the town, and it was here, on June 23, 1828, that the last meeting of the order was held previous to the suspension of meetings for 30 years, caused by the anti-masonic wave that swept across the country.

The hotel has seen many a lively social assembly, and it was the rendezvous of the Rockingham Company of the Twelfth Vermont Regiment in 1861.

It was written of the Hotel: "The travelling public are perfectly familiar with it. There is no fuss and feathers of extra style. Comfort and quiet are sought. It is the type of the old- fashioned, comfortable village hotel."

In 1903, a group in Saxtons River decided the town needed a larger hotel. They tore down the picturesque Inn and livery stable that had served the town so well since 1834 and built what is today the Saxtons River Inn. At the time the town was alive with a woolen mill, a lumber mill, and a variety of prosperous small industries.
