About Us

Perched high in the hills east of Vermont's capital city of Montpelier and northeast of Barre, the granite capital of the world, sits The Comstock House. Panoramic views abound. Camel's Hump. Lincoln Peak. Hunger Mountain. The rolling hills, open pastures, farms, barns, and forested slopes of central Vermont and the Northeast Kingdom stretch to the horizon.  Built in 1891 by dairy farmer Charles Comstock, the gracious farmhouse has been completely renovated to house an inviting bed and breakfast.  Enjoy the scenery over a homemade breakfast or from your room as the sun is setting. Wander down to the pasture and listen to the baaahing of the lambs. Or make The Comstock House your home away from home while attending one of the programs of Goddard College.

You may come just for the sunsets. Framed by the beauty of the mountains and the crispness of the air, there are a multitude of spots around the farm to sit, relax and enjoy the spectacle every evening. The sunrises are spectacular, too, if you're an early riser!

Your room, with complimentary wireless access and private bath, will be comfortable and will boast views every bit as dramatic.

You have the choice of the Meadow Room on the first floor, a corner room surrounded by the views, with a private bath. Or try the Mountain Room on the second floor, also overlooking the scenery, which has a corner bedroom, and a spacious private bathroom with clawfoot tub. If you're traveling with family and friends, you might want to book the Mountain suite.  The master's room, the Comstock Room, is our most spacious and faces east, south, and west.  It also has a clawfoot tub. 

Plenty of options for relaxing, recreating or exploring await at The Comstock House farm or within a short drive from Plainfield, Vermont.

Enjoy a book in the parlor or outside under the canopy of century-old maples. Go bicycling, strolling, hiking, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Just ask for directions to some of the region's top attractions: Stowe, Sugarbush, Burke Mountain, the Vermont Statehouse, the granite quarries, Ben & Jerry's. There's fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, skating all nearby.

And central Vermont has some of the best restaurants around. Ask and we'll share some of our favorites.
