Description
Situated in a second-floor corner of the historic Main House, the Governor’s Room is spacious and filled with natural light from four windows. Its king-size bed, soft gray color scheme, large wardrobe, desk and two comfortable club chairs create an inviting place to work or unwind. During the colder months, curl up with a book beside the seasonal gas fireplace.
The updated bathroom features a soaking tub with shower—ideal for relaxing after a day of hiking, biking or exploring Middlebury.
Room 22 honors Governor John W. Stewart, who served eight years in Congress and one term as governor of Vermont. At the 1860 Republican National Convention, Stewart helped persuade Vermont’s delegation to shift its support from William H. Seward to Abraham Lincoln. He was also the father of Jessica Stewart Swift, the namesake of Jessica’s Restaurant.
