About this home

A rare opportunity to own one of southern Vermont’s most beloved hospitality landmarks. Located directly on the picturesque village green in historic downtown Chester, the iconic Fullerton Inn stands as the centerpiece of this charming New England village and offers a fully established turnkey business ready for its next steward. Set on 2.28 acres with access to the scenic Williams River, the property combines classic Vermont character with exceptional hospitality infrastructure. Guests gather in multiple inviting spaces including a spacious main dining room, a cozier secondary dining area, and a lively tavern and bar, creating a warm and memorable destination for locals and travelers alike. A large rear deck overlooking the grounds and river provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, seasonal gatherings, and private celebrations. The inn features 20 guest rooms and suites, along with two separate owner or general manager apartments, offering flexible on-site living and management options. A professional commercial kitchen supports a full restaurant operation and catered events. Well known as a regional gathering place, the property also serves as a popular event venue for weddings, large parties, and cultural or civic celebrations. The inn even appeared as a filming location for the 2008 Hallmark movie Moonlight & Mistletoe. Offering 18,896 square feet of hospitality space in the heart of Vermont ski country, the Fullerton Inn benefits from year-round tourism, from winter skiers to the region’s world famous fall foliage visitors. An extraordinary chance to own a true Vermont destination.
