Innkeepers Chris and Lyn Francis have done all the work and created a genuine English Country Inn experience nestled in the pristine setting of Stowe Vermont. Ye Olde England Inne came to be in 1983 when Chris and Lyn were following the British team in the Americas Cup. Taking the opportunity to tour New England, they found themselves in Stowe. "We were going to be in Stowe for two days" Chris said, "two weeks later we were still here. We were having a blast so we decided to stay."

The Inne has an undeniably genuine feel to it. When Chris and Lyn first visited the property they were considering buying, Chris had a feeling of deja vu and recognized the makings of an English Inn. Members of the Royal Family have commented on the authentic feel of the Inn which may well have been plucked from somewhere in Great Britian. Much effort has gone into a presentation which evokes the English country side. Genuine ambience and truly wonderful English hosts could make you forget where you are, not that youd want to forget being in Stowe! Chris and Lyn focus on quality and attention to detail in every aspect of their establishment. "You can't cut corners" Chris says.
