Vermont flooding update: Communities across Vermont are reeling from intense rain and flooding over the past several days. Shelburne Farms hasn't sustained significant damage, but many people, businesses and farms have been affected. Please consider donating to the Vermont Flood Response and Recovery Fund.

Stay with us this summer! You’re invited to take in the breathtaking landscape, discover something new through one of our programs, and explore our 1,400-acre historic campus. Every room and cottage at Shelburne Farms Inn is unique, and proceeds from your stay support our nonprofit education mission.
