Originally called the House at Beaver Brook Farm, the White House was built as a private summer home in 1915 for a wealthy lumber baron, Martin Brown.

A magnificent structure with its crafted French Doors, two storied terraces supported by soaring pillars and fourteen fireplaces, it is as timeless and lovely as the Green Mountains which surround it.

The conversion to a romantic, country inn took place in 1965 after Martin Brown's death and sale of the property. Current innkeeper, Robert Grinold purchased the inn in 1978 and began the arduous task of restorations.

Many of the exquisite details that gave the inn so much elegance have remained intact over the years. The original wallpaper, printed in France at the turn of the century, remains in the front hall. The secret staircase remains a popular architectural detail with all of the Inn's guests. The Brown's once boasted of having their own indoor bowling alley and nine hole golf course.
