Centerpiece of the quiet village of Hyde Park, Vermont, just nine miles from Stowe, Vermont, the fully-restored historic mansion offers the quintessential New England holiday.

In 1893 Vermont Governor Carroll S. Page build a house for his family on the bluff in Hyde Park not far from his boyhood home. A copy of the 1759 Georgian house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, known as the Longfellow House, it also had the latest gas lighting fixtures, a drinking fountain of Vermont marble, and made-to-order mirrored mantle-pieces. Many original details have survived the century and the house had been restored and decorated to preserve the gracious elegance of an earlier time. Modern comforts include in-room high-speed internet and WiFi, cable TV/VCR/DVD, and CD players.
