Chester, Vermont is one of New England’s destination locations with a timeless Main Street village charm. I’m talking about two kinds of charm here. Historic charm and sophisticated charm. Chester, Vermont has both.
Chester is filled with charming historic Queen Ann, Victorian, and Federal style buildings.
Owners take good care of these gems. Whether private homes, churches or commercial, like a B&B. Inn Victoria is a pretty (and charming) painted lady, a step-back-in-time B&B. The fact that Chester made the Top 10 ‘Prettiest Painted Villages in Vermont’ is a distinction the town and Inn Victoria are very proud to tout!
Are there some buildings that need some TLC? For sure, but the town sees people moving in and scooping up these properties and voila, another pretty painted lady or restored granite building is added to the town’s distinctive historic charm.
The Inn Victoria is in the center of town, across from the Town Green. Guests love the convenience of their in-town location. It is not just the pretty painted exterior that puts Inn Victoria on the map, it is also their rockin’ round the clock year-round business.
One of their most popular and profitable draws is the Inn to Inn Walking Tour.
4 Inns-4 Days-40 Miles.
This is the kind of experiential travel that people are seeking. Soft adventure you can experience, at your own pace. Leave your car in park, take a self-guided walking tour through the countryside and villages. Experience four distinct Inns.
You see so much more when you see it slow.
“It’s about the walk through the country. You don’t have to worry about anything. There’s no rush. This is as quiet as it gets.” Daniel Cote, owner Inn Victoria
Chester is a year-round Vermont destination.
Five great ski mountains are within a short drive. The Inn will get soft skiers, a few runs and back to the comforts of the Inn. Perfect! In the summer there are three world class golf courses, biking and canoe and kayak explorations. Chester village itself is a draw as well. Walk from the inn to restaurants, bookstores and shops. The town has a self-guided tour that features 16 notable buildings.
Did I mention sophisticated charm?
Yes. One prime example is DaVallia Art & Accents with two Chester locations. A family owned business with sophisticated one of a kind art, jewelry and furniture by local artisans and owners, all with that creative Vermont sophistication you can find right here in Chester. They also offer interior design that is very inn-spiring.
Back to the Inn…
The Inn Victoria is a classic New England Victorian style Inn for sale. Its detailed classic architectural features and decorative colorful painted exterior are a focal point in the village center. Once you step foot on the property, you can’t help but be swept into a different world. The front porch, backyard garden and patio, classic parlor, dining room and 9 guest rooms are a canvas that can be transformed into a new owner’s vision. The choice is yours.
In addition, for new owners they will enjoy a spacious apartment with an open living room, full kitchen, master bedroom and two bathrooms, one with a whirlpool tub. A very nice retreat.
Chester, Vermont & Inn Victoria are a destination and Inn that are loaded with tourist friendly activities and a very strong lodging business opportunity. It doesn’t get much better than that! The B&B Team is here to guide the way.
