Silas Griffith Inn

In 1891, Silas Griffith built this estate as a wedding gift for his new bride, Katherine Tiel. Silas was Vermont's first millionaire and "Lumber Baron". His selection of a site was outstanding; the buildings are nestled on 11 acres of rolling meadows offering a 360-degree view of the Taconic and Green Mountains. Details such as hand-carved cherry woodwork, birch floors, embossed tin ceilings, carved birdseye maple mantles, stained glass windows, and original beams offer a taste of the Victorian era of living... the charm and character of history enhanced by the conveniences of today. Experience the tranquility of a Vermont country village nestled in the heart of the mountains? Searching for a family vacation spot that blends today with generations of history? You will find all of this and more at the Silas Griffith Inn, where our people-friendly Innkeepers will make you feel welcome and see to your comforts! The Inn's restaurant, Emma's, is open for dinner reservations from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Thursday through Sunday. Reservations are required. Of course, for our guests, breakfast is served every day, offering a selection of gourmet and country-style foods. Emma's is located in the original Carriage House of the property. The Inn has a seasonal in-ground pool and a separate seasonal spa. We are located in Danby, Vermont, which is 15 minutes from Manchester, a shopping delight, and 20 minutes from Rutland. The Silas Griffith Inn welcomes well-mannered adults, children, and pets.
