Just half a mile from The Wilburton sits our sister estate - another Albert Gilbert turn-of-the-century mansion on five private acres. This grand home features a ballroom perfect for DIY weddings under 75 guests, commercial kitchen, formal dining room, and 15 bedrooms across three floors. With a pond, gazebo, bonfire area, and acres of grounds, Battenkill offers privacy while maintaining access to The Wilburton's pool and tennis courts.

We're so dog-friendly that our Canine Concierge, Jetson, was featured on Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl. Dogs are welcome in all vacation homes and cottage suites - just not in Wilburton Mansion guest rooms to accommodate guests with allergies. Your four-legged family members can explore 30 acres of trails, meet Jetson on the front porch, and sleep beside you after long Vermont days. We ask that dogs stay leashed on grounds and off furniture.
