Business Owner

After purchasing the inn in 1990, the Garboses began carefully renovating the 1896 facility, preserving historic arts & craft items such as pocket doors, original woodwork and brass doorknobs, while expanding living areas by removing walls. Initially they catered to long term renters. During the filming of the 2000 movie «What Lies Beneath,» the couple began providing furnished apts. Their unique boutique hotel model now features four 1800 sq. ft. comfortably furnished suites for a few nights or a few weeks.

The first year of hosting overnight visitors has been a tremendous success. Our design incorporates the best of of traditional Vermont craft combined with high-​tech amenities. The Mt. Philo Inn features all Vermont products;. All renovations were made by local craftsmen with native stone and wood. Combined with panoramic views of Lake Champlain and a location adjacent to Mt. Philo State Park the result is world-​class.
