Modern Adults‑Only
Bed & Breakfast in Shelburne, Vermont
A charming stay in historic Shelburne
close to Burlington and Lake Champlain
with custom-made breakfasts guests truly remember.
Welcome to Heart of the Village
Modern Comfort in the Heart of Shelburne
A tasteful balance of Victorian charm and modern convenience—plus delightful custom breakfasts—in walkable Shelburne Village, just minutes from Burlington, VT.
Heart of the Village Inn blends historic ambiance with genuinely easygoing hosting: self check‑in, adults‑only spaces, and thoughtful touches throughout. Guests love our location for quick access to Burlington, Lake Champlain, and the best of Chittenden County.
Think of us as a modern, adults‑only home base in the middle of it all: coffee, dining, and local shops are close by, and Burlington is just minutes away for waterfront walks, live music, and airport access.
You’re also minutes from two Shelburne favorites: Shelburne Farms (iconic Vermont landscapes, trails, and seasonal experiences) and Shelburne Vineyard (a laid‑back stop for tastings and views). And if you do head to Stowe for a day trip, you’ll love coming back to an easy evening in a walkable village—without the resort traffic and parking shuffle.
We keep things simple and guest-friendly—self check-in, clear policies, and thoughtful touches—so you can spend more time enjoying Vermont.
