We are beyond excited to welcome wedding couples & guests back to Trailside for this Summer and Fall! It has a been a long year and everyone is ready to get together to celebrate.  We want to make sure that our couples, guests and vendors have a safe & relaxed environment for the party.

** With the recent uptick in Covid cases due to the Delta variant, we are now requiring all unvaccinated guests be masked while inside of our common spaces. **

Vermont's full reopening plan can be found here. 

Our staff will be following all universal, event and cross state travel guidance.

Many of our couples are requesting additional steps to ensure a stress-free event and only positive memories.  They may be requesting your vaccination status or requiring a negative test prior to attending (if unvaccinated).  As our couples' wishes are our first priority, we will hold to any additional measures requested.  Please do the same.  Further details can be found on their wedding websites and invitations.

If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, please do so.  If at any point during the event you have concerns, please find one of our staff members for help.
​
What else are we doing?

Staffing:
All of Trailside's staff, that interacts with guests, will be fully vaccinated prior to the start of our wedding season.  Our staff will be following any mask mandates or may continue to wear a mask as a personal preference.

Cleaning: 
We are following CDC guidance for cleaning. There will be a minimum of 24-hour gap between room stays.  This means your room will be vacant the the night prior to your arrival. We will NOT be entering rooms after check-in for room service.  We are happy to do a towel swap for stays longer than 2 nights should you need clean towels.

Breakfast:
We will be offering our continental breakfast daily with lodging reservations.  We are continuing to have individually wrapped items and more "grab and go" type of options.  We will also be providing a self-serve coffee and tea station in our Great Room.  Breakfast timing is based on the event and available on our schedule board when you arrive.

It is your responsibility to know travel guidelines and plan accordingly at the time of booking.  We are strict in our cancellation policy. Click here for our reservation policies.

"Everyone says that their wedding was the best day of their lives. That's certainly true, but imagine if all of your guests tell you that your wedding was the best one they had ever BEEN TO! We heard that a lot after our wedding. The Trailside Inn has a lot of special going for it."

​Meet Room 118, our new favorite! Perfect for a family of four.

We are super excited about this renovation.  Our goal was to make it feel bright, airy and comfy-cute.  We think we nailed it with all new flooring, beds, tile and paint.

We are incredibly humbled and honored to be recognized for the 3rd year in a row by The Knot's Best of Weddings as a top wedding venue! Thank you to all of our wedding couples - without you we would not be here.
