A Historic Vermont Estate
The Wilburton was built in 1902 as a private estate for a Chicago railroad executive. It later became a boarding school and a country inn, and was owned for many years by RKO Pictures as a retreat.
Our family has lovingly operated the resort since 1987, preserving its extraordinary architecture, art, history, and welcoming spirit.
We look forward to sharing our Mansion in the Mountains with you.
