Vermont Barn

Old Gray Barn is just north of Dorset Village tucked into a hillside overlooking the pristine meadows of the Mettawee Valley. A celebration garden has an expansive view and the spacious 2-story barn has a variety of spaces for large or intimate gatherings.

Small and Large Dining Rooms

Depending on the style of the event and the number of guests, we have several indoor dining areas at both The Dorset Inn and Barrows House for hosting ceremonies, receptions, rehearsals and farewell brunches.

Patios, Gardens and Tents

In season, outdoor events are the best way to enjoy the landscape of Vermont. You choose the season and the location— from guests gathered for a ceremony at the gazebo, candlelit tables set under a tent on the terrace, cocktail hours poolside, receptions on a pond, photo sessions in the flower gardens, guests enjoying lawn games and toasting marshmallows at the fire pit—the outdoor possibilities are endless.
