Our Commitment
With the approach of winter the Green Mountains, safety continues to be our highest priority. Relaxation, wellness, tranquility, happiness, adventure and enhanced outdoor activities have always been our specialties, and despite the new challenges presented by Covid-19, we continue to be fully prepared to offer our guests the complete Vermont experience that they have come to love.
Winter Dining at Pond Mountain Inn
Out of respect for CDC regulations and the Vermont Department of Health we continue offering breakfast dining in the Main House dining room. In the winter months we only have one family on premises at a time. However, we continue to work individually with each guest to determine the ideal dining venue for their needs that include bringing breakfast to the Loft Suite. Our daily breakfast menus are as robust and creative as ever, featuring the best local and regional ingredients available.
Sanitation
As one of Vermont’s premier boutique inns, Pond Mountain Inn has always maintained the highest level of cleanliness and sanitization. Additional safety protocols include:
- Health and temperature checks before the start of each day.
- Extra vigilant staff hand washing practices.
- Higher-frequency cleaning and disinfection throughout all public areas.
- Selected cleaning agents to reduce viral transmission on surfaces.
- Deep cleaning and disinfection of suites between visits.
We’re Ready for Your Visit!
