YANKEE MAGAZINE Applauds Local Establishment
The White House of Wilmington Receives Editors’ Choice Honor

DUBLIN, NH (August 10, 2007) The White House of Wilmington, Vermont today announced it was selected as an “Editors’ Choice in the 2007 Special Travel Issue of Yankee Magazine. Yankee’s trusted endorsement will be recommended to nearly two million readers this spring, summer and fall.

“Readers often point out that the recipients of the Editors’ Choice endorsement represent the rustic, the refined, and everything in between, then ask what criteria we use to select them, “ said Mel Allen, editor of Yankee. “Whether it’s a farmstand, a lobster shack with paper plates, or a restaurant that serves its meals on fine china, they all share a singular quality. These are places that travelers will remember, that locals love, and that promise visitors the opportunity to experience New England’s unique character firsthand.”

The White House, a Victorian mansion, overlooks the Deerfield Valley and the beautiful little town of Wilmington, placed at the cross section of historic Vermont Rt. 100 and Rt. 9 and located seven miles south of the Mt. Snow Ski Resort in West Dover. Nine of the inn’s 14 fireplaces are in guest rooms (of which there are 25 total, including three suites), antiques are everywhere, and several rooms have private balconies. There are two pools: one outdoors, adjoining a formal garden, and one indoors. Cross country ski trails and snowmobile trails begin at the White House and cover over 20 miles of breathtaking Vermont countryside. The White House offers fine dining in a relaxed but elegant atmosphere. This year the inn was honored by the Wine Spectator Magazine for having one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world. For more information on the inn and upcoming events call 802.464.4726.
