 Property Description

The Equinox Story

What has over 200 years of history, six different architectural styles, and 17 different structures; has been visited by four different American Presidents; served as a hotbed for American Revolutionaries; and stands as a monument to the American government's policy of expropriating private property for the common good?

The answer, of course, is the Equinox.

Known in various times in its illustrious life as the Marsh Tavern, Thaddeus Munson's New Inn, Widow Black's Inn, Vanderlip's Hotel, The Taconic, The Orvis Hotel, and Equinox House, Equinox today stands as a symbol of the history and lifestyle of New England over the past two centuries.

immerse yourself in the quiet, relaxing ambiance of the Equinox. Enjoy a sip of wine, "a wee dram of scotch," or a hot toddy in front of a roaring fire, and let your imagination do the rest!

Accommodations

From its historic beginnings as one of Vermont’s first lodging houses, this extraordinary property now offers a wide variety of accommodations with 195 rooms and suites in four unique buildings. Choose from any accommodation, and you’ll enjoy all of our complimentary special touches and conveniences, such as high-speed Internet access, valet parking, spa bath essentials, coffee each morning and access to fitness facilities, pool and sauna.

The Equinox Resort
Newly renovated rooms offer subtle yet elegant décor in a soothing palette of earth tones, harmonizing country charm with modern sophistication.

The Charles Orvis Inn
This recently renovated 19th century residence is situated just beside The Equinox Resort. Along with nine suites, the inn boasts a library, sitting rooms and New England-style porch and deck.

1811 House
The former home of Abraham Lincoln’s granddaughter, the 1811 House is an excellently maintained romantic country inn offering soaring mountain views and a glimpse into history.

Townhomes
Tucked next to the resort’s main building, the townhouses include 30 bedrooms, including 10 suites with fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, porches and a living room with sleeper sofa.

Dormy House
Situated just off of the first tee box of our golf course, two distinct suites offer comfortable sleeping and dining quarters with the feel of an upscale Vermont country home.

Dining

Eating and drinking at the Equinox is an extraordinary experience.
  • Our new Chop House restaurant features the finest cuts of steak, grilled to perfection.
  • While at the new Falcon Bar, enjoy gourmet chocolates and locally-sourced cheeses paired with an extensive wine list or one of our single malt scotches—or step out on our deck to enjoy a beautiful Vermont evening.
