Chipman Inn is tucked in the quiet mountain town of Ripton, Vermont—just off the scenic Route 125. We’re a short drive from Middlebury and close to hiking trails, rivers, lakes, and the Middlebury Snow Bowl. This is a peaceful, rural setting perfect for unplugging and reconnecting with nature.

A car is pretty necessary for getting around. We’re located on a quiet mountain road, about 20 minutes from downtown Middlebury. In the winter, we offer a free shuttle to the Middlebury Snow Bowl for guests. Parking is free and easy right on-site.

Please note: the kitchen and bar are not available for guest use. Breakfast is served daily, and drinks are available for purchase from the inn’s bar. We’re happy to accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice. No pets, no smoking indoors or near the building.
