Welcome to Deer Brook Inn an historic, award-winning Vermont B&B situated in Woodstock. Built in 1820 as the centerpiece of a 300 acre farm, Deer Brook enjoys a rich and colorful history.
The inn offers a high degree of personalized service with only five guest accommodations. Our focus and reason for success is in the fact that every guest is made to feel at home and truly important to us (just read our reviews on Trip Advisor and elsewhere). Rooms are spacious and sunlit and all have original wide plank pine floors, private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations, A/C, individual heat controls, and in-room CD players.
Breakfast is a much talked about event at Deer Brook. Served in our formal dining room or on the stone patio overlooking the lawn and wooded areas, we feature fresh, local ingredients from neighboring farms whenever possible.
After enjoying our three course breakfast, we welcome you to explore Woodstock and the surrounding area. Cultural venues including The Billings Farm & Museum, Calvin Coolidge Homestead, and The Woodstock Historical Society abound. In close proximity to Dartmouth College, shops, galleries, and wonderful restaurants fill the area and 4-season outdoor activities including skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, horseback riding, fly fishing, kayaking and canoeing are at our doorstep. Enjoy all that Deer Brook Inn and the Woodstock region have to offer.
We hope to speak with you about your vacation plans and to see you here at Deer Brook.

 It’s March already! Winter was hardly present this year but there is snow on the ground now. So whether you are thinking skiing or thinking Spring, come to Woodstock, Vermont! We can offer whatever it is you want. Suicide 6 and Killington have all the snow you need.

Do I hear phones ringing? Deer Brook Inn is open every weekend until the end of April when the inn will open full time once again. Join us, you’ll like us!
That’s right- it is January! Fend off those blahs that hit you around mid January. A ski trip might be nice but the important thing is a change of pace and a change of scenery. What better scenery than in Vermont? As you cross into Vermont, you can’t help but make that sigh of relief. It just happens. Make it happen for you.
Our apologies to folks who have tried to reach us by phone and have gotten disconnected. We just discovered that rural areas around the country, such as ours, are having problems with long distance phone calls. It is called a call termination problem. That means that you make a call and your phone company sends it out but doesn’t follow it all the way to us. It has contracted it out to some other company that can do it at a lesser cost to carry it to us, BUT it won’t guarantee that it gets to where you want it.
So send us an e-mail to deerbrook@vermontel.net or call us on our cell phone 802-369-0776. We look forward to hosting your visit to Woodstock, Vermont
