Ski Cozy in Vermont Magic Mountain to Suicide Six
by William G. Scheller (excerpted)

Magic Mountain is amply served by lodgings on Route 11 and along its access road, but if cozy is what you're looking for, head five miles north to The Inn at Weston. Long an icon among classic Vermont villages, Weston is home to craft shops, art galleries, and the Vermont Country Store. Its snug, compact character—a single street leading to a jewel of a town green—is reflected in the inn's homey 1848 main building, carriage house, and Coleman House annex.

Homey... but with a luxe accent. Ample whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces complement several of the handsome guest rooms, the pub is stocked with single-malt Scotches, and innkeeper Linda Aldrich might sauté shiitake mushrooms to top off a breakfast frittata made with Vermont cheddar. In the evening, she turns the kitchen over to chef Cassidy Warren, whose creations pair well with an award-winning cellar list.

Other Vermont inns may have greenhouses, but none like this one. Those aren't herbs and field greens out there; the glass walls cocoon Bob Aldrich's collection of some 1,000 orchids, representing half as many species and hybrids, which he's been cultivating for two decades. He moved them, gingerly, from New Jersey when he and Linda bought the inn seven years ago. "Probably 90 percent of our guests ask to see them," says Bob, who graciously obliges with tours of the coziest little rain forest in the Green Mountains.
