The genuine Vermont experience, 506 On The River Inn is set in 6 stunning acres, is filled with quaint local artefacts, and serves regional microbrews at its antique bar. No wonder Condé Nast Traveler named it one of ‘The Places to Visit’. Soaking up Ottauquechee River views from your balcony’s rocking chair’s arguably the best pastime here – if you’re not distracted by the indoor pool and hot tub, well-stocked games room, toy-filled playroom, free WiFi, or nearby Woodstock (there’s free parking when you return). But life at the inn starts and ends in its lounge, where Chesterfields set the mood: every morning, its country kitchen’s laden with complimentary treats like French toast slathered in the family farm’s maple syrup; you can pour free tea and coffee all day; and, come evening, the bistro presents refined yet comforting dishes.

“Cozy location”
Sep 05, 2026Jostor1
Nice cozy inn. Just remember when you book, the rooms with a garden view and kitchenette , they are at the end of this longggg hallway with an incline at the end. At least a 110 steps to the one elevator located on the floor. Thats a problem more for the elderly who might have any mobility problems and the nrcessity of transporting suitcases. On the positive side,it might replace going to the gym. When commented about the location of the room, the resolution was to use the stairs, which was closer to the room location. Housekeeping was sporadic (shortage of help) and left some things to be desired, like trash disposal , towel replacing and vacuuming. Partially resolved if called the front desk and specified the necessity.. i would rate this location a “3”, and a little overproced.
“Highly recommend!”

We had such a great stay at On the River! The facility and rooms are clean and charming and the staff is so lovely! The pool and playground were a great bonus to have in addition to being in a great location to get to downtown Woodstock. Thank you for a great stay!
“Nice enough but no coffee maker”
Aug 08, 2026optimistdoc
Generally, this is a good choice in Woodstock. The room was nice, a pleasant view, good beds. We found it very odd that the fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, two-burner stove and dishwasher had no coffee maker. When we inquired we were told about a coffee station in the lobby. The bar and restaurant were closed on Tuesday evening, but we didn’t know this. We sat in the lounge waiting for a bartender to arrive and the front desk clerk walked past several times and never said a word.
Nice enough, but unusual.
