3-star hotels in Bennington
Three-star bases for a Bennington break, from an inn on a North Bennington main street to a farmhouse near the hiking and skiing country. Picked for couples, families and anyone using the town as a base for the Taconics, Manchester and the Molly Stark Trail.
Staying in Bennington
Bennington anchors the southwest corner of Vermont with the 306-foot Battle Monument, the Bennington Museum's Grandma Moses collection, Old First Church and a walkable main street. US-7 runs north toward Manchester and Rutland, and VT-9, the Molly Stark Trail, crosses east to Brattleboro. It is a working town rather than a resort village, so you get a real place with the same mountains next door.
These hotels sit in and around that town. Two Brooks Lodge and 1 Mi to Historic District Retreat are on Bennington addresses, Eddington House Inn is on Main St in North Bennington, and Arlington's West Mountain Inn and Arlington Inn lie north along River Road and Vermont Route 7A. Further east come the Wilmington and Shaftsbury houses. Couples take the inns, families the larger Wilmington rentals, and drivers passing through the ones with free car parking.

Plan your stay
When to go
The site's own advice is that a full day covers the monument, Old First Church, the museum and the North Bennington bridges without rushing, and half a day is enough if you skip the museum, so the town works as a short stop as well as a base. The area is mountain country with a winter season, and several hotels list skiing and fishing among their facilities, so plan around the season you want.
