Main Lodge

Ten Acres Lodge consists of three separate buildings. Of the three, the oldest is what we refer to as the Main Lodge.

The original home, which is now the Main Lodge, was built about 1820 as a farm house. The house was built with a wood frame construction with clapboard siding as was the custom of that time. It was situated on ten acres of land and served as a family home until sometime in the late 1950's or early ‘60's when Darby Chambers became the owner and chef.  Through the years it has been lovingly transformed from a farm house to a comfortable place for weary travelers.

The common areas of the lodge contain the front desk and foyer, a living room and library with fireplaces, a dining room with three separate areas and a wine bar. These common areas also contain numerous furnishings and interesting decorative items collected from the owner's travels around the world. A modern commercial kitchen allows this vermont Bed and breakfast's innkeepers to serve a wonderful breakfast for their guests.

Through the years, the guest rooms kept their country appeal by the use of antique furnishings and beautiful elegant old world linens. The original feeling of “old homestead” warmth was maintained in the added areas by the continued use of wainscoting, pine paneling, and beamed ceilings

There are five large bedrooms in the lodge, as well as a two room suite, each offering private bathrooms with tubs and showers, cable TV, telephones, hair dryers, down comforters and other amenities found in fine inns. Each room also contains a variety of interesting decorative items too numerous to mention.

The buildings stand on expansive grounds containing a swimming pool, tennis court and plenty of room to wander under the maple trees.
