The Okemo Valley Region is a popular destination for guests looking for a Vermont Cottage. We find this popularity can often leave visitors without an option for a room or forced to settle for less than desirable accommodations. Inn Victoria won’t let that happen to you.
  We have made special arrangements with owners of a beautiful home just ten miles off site. The owners of the home are caring and attentive people with servants’ hearts. If Inn Victoria is full during your desired time in Southern Vermont, and you want assurance of the same high standards Inn Victoria is known for, you may wish to consider the following alternatives.
Two rooms are available in this beautiful home. With access to the parlor and common living spaces, you will enjoy tremendous 180 degree mountain valley views, spacious windows overlooking the valley, a fireplace, private baths, WiFi, TV, and gracious hosts. You may have breakfast here or enjoy breakfast at Inn Victoria.
If you want a safe and relaxing atmosphere, but do not need the elegance of Inn Victoria this alternative may work for you.

Note to an innkeeper;
"..................It was Chester, VT however, a place I haven't heard of before, that was the highlight of our trip. Not only is the small town beautiful but our three-day stay at Inn Victoria was the icing on the cake, the creme de la creme of our visit to Vermont. Innkeepers and owners, Dan and Penelope (Penny) Cote (Coat-e), are a delightful Christian couple and are perfectly suited for their line of work. You would do well to stay in Chester at Inn Victoria whenever you are in Southern Vermont.
Breakfast is a three-course gourmet treat that will last you most of the day. Additionally a typically British high tea was offered on the day we arrived...umm.................." John Pototschnik Fine Art
  John and Marcia Pototschnik visited Inn Victoria, a Chester Vermont Bed and Breakfast, in hopes of finding the perfect Vermont settings to paint; they found so much more. According to the excerpt above from John's blog, their short time here developed a love of Southern Vermont, Chester and the Cote's. It was not uncommon to see John painting scenes while outside. Take a look at some of his initial oil paintings of Southern
Vermont at his blog.
 We are humbled and honored innkeepers; thank you John & Marcia for entering our lives.
God Bless

Penny and I were amazed this week when a group of ladies, looking for High Tea near Okemo, came to Inn Victoria. Our amazement was in what brought them to Chester and specifically Inn Victoria. Their stories of adventure while seeking the finest Tea Houses was fascinating, but most fascinating of all was their monthly hunt for a good time as a group. Each month the ladies get together for an adventure of some sort...this week just happened to be High Tea at Inn Victoria. Past adventures included shopping trips to Manhattan, museum visits, cruises, and the list is a long one. We so enjoy meeting people who have a LOVE of LIFE and are wiling to express it in whatever way fits their needs.
Here is their "thank you" to us!
"Hi,
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what a great time my friends and I had yesterday at High Tea. It was one of our most fun mystery trips thanks to and your husband. You are both so friendly and personable we felt as though we were friends for a long time. I wish you great success with your Bed & Breakfast and look forward to visiting again in the future."
Cool....!

Want to enjoy the BEST breakfast in the Okemo Valley? Inn Victoria, a Romantic Vermont bed and breakfast has what you are looking for. It is amazing how many people register with us and say; "we've been told the breakfast at Inn Victoria is heavenly"! In fact, we lost count at the number of people who have walked in off the street (without a room reservation) asking for breakfast, having been told by friends this is the place to have the BEST breakfast ever!
Each day, Inn Victoria serves a three course gourmet breakfast. As a starter today, we enjoyed a raspberry and lemon yogurt muffin, still warm when placed on the table. For the second course, a fresh baked apple with cinnamon and mascarpone cheese. Just when you think you've enjoyed a wonderful, light breakfast....out comes the savory, main dish.
A Light Crape Shell With the Fix-ins
Imagine a light crape shell for breakfast with baked chive, cheddar cheese, garlic, two eggs over medium, covered with a fresh tomato puree and a touch of cilantro!
Penny has made this an exceptional dish at Inn Victoria. Here it is; a savory dish with Vermont maple syrup sausage and pan fried red potatoes.

What may appear to be a simple little detail to some people, can actually be a big concern to others who's health depends upon an attentive Innkeeper. At Inn Victoria, a Romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast, we pay attention to that detail in a BIG way. The following Tripadvisor quote is testament to that point. In fact....Penny is attentive to egg free and dairy free cooking, as needed. Watch for a blog later this fall about Penny's gluten free waffles ...Yummy!

 We stayed at this incredible inn for a romantic weekend a while ago.
The rooms were beautiful- large, spacious, clean, comfortable, great bathrooms, luxurious... just great.
The food was absolutely delicious both for breakfast and high tea, and the owners were hugely accommodating of our gluten allergy.
Unlike some rural inns that are located in the middle of nowhere, the Inn Victoria is located right on the main street of Chester, which means easy walking distance to restaurants and shops.
The owners were wonderful and sweet. They were very helpful, but unlike some inn owners, the weren't constantly getting in our way or invading our privacy.
It was truly the best B&B experience ever!

When tropical storm Irene hit Central Vermont, Inn Victoria, a Chester Vermont Bed and Breakfast, was spared the damage that many homes and businesses suffered. Crows Bakery and Opera House Cafe is one of those businesses that was hardest hit by Irene, and today they are emerging from the mess and once again providing their outstanding baked goods to the community.
Irene dropped eight inches of water in the Black River basin, through the Okemo Valley Region. Proctorsville, Vermont got slammed with a continuous flow of water that was simply unstoppable. Crows Bakery and Opera House Cafe were in the direct path, destroying all of their inventory, cutting power, and damaging the building. Over six weeks of clean up has lead to this days' opening, and for that we are all happy. Inn Victoria, salutes Crow's Bakery and Opera House Cafe for their determination to persevere and reopen. Our friends at the bakery provide Inn Victoria with pastries, cakes and scones for High Tea.

This Romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast will never be the same after you view Penny, CEO of Inn Victoria in her 2012 pose of Miss November. The phone is ringing off the hook with people wanting to buy a calendar of the "Women of Okemo Valley".......wow, don't I wish I could sell rooms that fast.!
I will post a picture of the calendar cover to attract your attention, but if you want to see Miss November, you'll need to purchase a copy for $20 dollars. Every dime of the proceeds will go to benefit the cure for breast cancer. The Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce lead the effort and each of the 12 ladies paid a substantial fee to pose, making the sales of the calendar a 100% benefit to the cause.

How far from Fort Ticonderoga is Inn Victoria, a romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast? Only an hour! The French and Indian war into the American Revolution, Fort Ticonderoga played an important part in American history. You can visit this fort today and enjoy the history lesson that goes with it. This is without question one of the most important historical sites in the North East, and the fort is very well preserved.
My favorite time to visit the fort and its surrounding areas is in the fall when the air is cool, the sky is clear from the summer haze and the sights over the shores of Lake Champlain are exquisite. The fall colors are extraordinary on the drive from Inn Victoria as one travels through the Green Mountains to the edge of Lake Champlain. On the way one can also enjoy the apple picking and vineyards. When in Vermont...a visit to Fort Ticonderoga is a "must do" event! Take a look at the events calendar and decide for yourself!

 Fall Foliage Update:
There’s been a lot of talk about the damage Tropical Storm Irene caused when it hit New England on August 28th, and many folks are wondering whether they should cancel their foliage trips. Our answer to that question is a resounding no! Road crews are working hard to repair affected areas, ensuring that you’ll be able to get to your New Hampshire and Vermont destinations in time for foliage season. There may be some detours, but they just might take you past some beautiful scenery that you’d have missed otherwise.
At Inn Victoria, we couldn't agree more. Thank You Yankee Magazine, Thank You!!

When traveling New England, Vermont stands out as the highlight of many guests who stay at Inn Victoria, a Chester Vermont Bed and Breakfast. This sentiment has been repeated time after time over the last two years since we've owned this beautiful Victorian B&B. Our hope is that we'll here a lot more of it as our partnership with Cape Air and Jet Blue grows.
 Inn Victoria has been featured in the fall issue of Cape Air's "Birds Eye View", a seat-back magazine for Cape Air passengers to read as they fly New England and the Caribbean Islands. "This could not have come at a better time for us" says Penny Cote, CEO of Inn Victoria. "We have been seeking out a means of promoting Okemo Valley's most Romantic Bed and Breakfast, Inn Victoria, to people from the NE who travel south to the Caribbean. These are the same people who seek out quick, short two and three day escapes to Vermont to ski, relax, do some leaf peeping, harvest Christmas trees and much more! Since they are less than a gas tank away by car from Inn Victoria, it seems logical to partner with Cape Air & Jet Blue who service these same markets."
The next time you fly Cape Air in NE or to the Islands through Jet Blue, look at the seat-back magazine in front of you; you will see your favorite Bed and Breakfast featured as a Romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast.

"Breakfast at Inn Victoria is Fantastic"!
"The Best Bed and Breakfast in Vermont also has the Best Breakfast I Ever Ate"!
"WOW, Penny is a Great Cook"!
"Penny, Please Give us Your Recipes"!
Ok..Ok...I hear ya! Here is one of our guest's favorites
Creme Brulee French Toast...Penny's way 1. Melt down in a saucepan; one stick of butter, three tablespoons of light karo syrup and one cup of brown sugar. After carefully melted, pour into a 9" X 13" baking pan of about two inches deep.
2. Remove the crust from a favorite bread such as cinnamon raisin bread and slice it thick or enough for 2-3 layers to cover the inside of the pan. Place the bread pieces into the pan.
3. Mix together 10 large eggs, maple flavoring, 1 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 2tsp vanilla and 2 cups of 1/2 and 1/2 cream. Pour this mixture over the bread in the pan.
4. Cover the pan with a cloth in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning bring the dish to room temperature and place into the oven to convection bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes.
5. Enjoy!!!

 There is no question that Irene did serious damage to Central Vermont, but it also spared a great number of businesses including Inn Victoria, The best rated Romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast. After the waters receded and the work crews cleared the roads, we are able to travel anywhere in Vermont. Although the roads are safe to travel with temporary fixes, it will take months to permanently repair the damage to roads & bridges. Some homes and businesses located along side streams and brooks may never be replaced because the heavy rain caused some stretches of stream-beds to shift. It is terrible to see the destruction of homes and businesses along side of these small babbling brooks, that for a short few hours became raging killers. With that said...Vermont is not destroyed. Vermont remains a very beautiful state. This by no means destroyed the beauty of Vermont. The ski resorts are still in full operation, the leaves on the trees are still here awaiting the fall transformation of colors, the quaint little towns and villages which give Vermont its charm are still just as beautiful, Inn Victoria and many other beautiful historical Inns remain safe...and the list goes on. We have had many phone calls asking if Inn Victoria is still viable. "Yes, of course" Penny responds. "We've been blessed with NO damage at all". And this is true for 95% of Chester and surrounding communities. We were able to use Inn Victoria as a temporary shelter during the storm, and for that we are most grateful. I have included some pictures of some spots within Chester that you may recognize....these were scary moments to be sure. The water was rising at a very fast pace while we took these photos. Penny & Dan Cote
 Penny and I have often said we are blessed beyond compare to own Vermont's most respected and honored " Romantic Vermont Bed and Breakfast". True, the ownership of such a prestigious business is a wonderful experience. The real blessing however is the fellowship with our guests. Some offer special blessings through their gifts. So many people from Australia, Germany, South Africa, Paraguay, UK, Canada, the US and many more locations have given us gifts of their local culture or simply gifts of appreciation and friendship. WOW...blessed to be sure.
This family from Maine gave us a family heirloom Victorian rocker. It is in great shape and is enjoyed by many who visit Inn Victoria. Frequent visitors to this Okemo Lodging, this couple will sit and relax in the chair with a smile knowing it is being enjoyed by many.
We are constantly amazed at the true generosity and friendship that comes our way. Such was the case when this couple gave us a gift of Burdicks Chocolates after learning that Penny LOVES
L.A. Burdicks Chocolates of Walpole NH. What a pleasant surprise!
Just when we think we've been blessed beyond compare, another wonderful couple learns of our love for wine, goes out to the car and digs out a red and white bottle of very luscious wines. The white was chilling in the car cooler and they gave it to us!.....needles to say the wines went to great use!
Blessed by great friends....we'll always remember!
