The Red Clover Inn & Restaurant Reviews

We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at the Red Clover Inn. Upon first visiting, we fell completely in love with the beautiful scenery and private seclusion that the property boasts. The grounds, the main historical inn, the carriage house, and the farm house are immaculately kept and decorated combining rustic and modern elements throughout. We shared the Claire room and it is breathtakingly beautiful with a private balcony, high ceilings, fireplace, four-poster king bed, full bath and soaking tub, and sitting area. The property was perfect for hosting our family and bridal party for the weekend onsite and exuded such a warm, home-away-from-home atmosphere for us and our guests.

We cannot thank the owners, Venetia and Mark, enough for their impeccable hospitality, organization, and coordination of the most magical day. Throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, Venetia made our decision making extremely easy by providing us with extensive timeline planning, vendor suggestions, and an overall vision for how to best set-up our wedding from rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks to our ceremony, reception, and after party. She truly was there every step of the way to provide any help and support that we needed.

Not only were Venetia and Mark amazing hosts, their staff at the inn was so welcoming and helpful. Every single staff member that was there to help run our event made us feel so at home in this space and so, so beyond special. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect weekend to celebrate with our family and friends and we will definitely be returning to the inn for visits in the future. This place holds such a dear part of our hearts and we cannot recommend it enough to couples looking for a romantic, intimate wedding in the heart of Killington!

My husband and I got married at the Red Clover Inn this Spring and we cannot overstate how incredible it was. We looked at a ton of venues, but ultimately picked the Red Clover because it perfectly aligned with the aesthetic we were going for. The venue is rustic, charming, secluded, has a rich history, and the backdrop of the green mountains is just stunning. We also really liked how about half of our guests could stay onsite with us the whole weekend and just hang out together. The pricing also aligned with our budget.

Additionally, the owners of the Inn are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Venetia & Mark just went absolutely above and beyond making our wedding weekend extra special. It’s really the little surprises that hit you in the feels. Venetia made this adorable welcome sign for us that had our name on it, there was champagne waiting for us in our suite when we arrived as well as a delicious charcuterie board. She also put together a gorgeous Chuppah for us which blew us away.

My husband and I, along with all of our guests, can’t stop talking about what an amazing time we had and how perfect of a weekend it was. Our guests also commented on how beautifully everything flowed on the wedding day itself as well as how amazing all the staff was.

I highly recommend the Red Clover to anyone looking for a weekend getaway wedding where you can have people stay onsite with you and who love a beautiful New England setting. Mark & Venetia and the Red Clover Staff do really great things, and we’re so grateful that we picked the Red Clover because we have the most perfect memories to look back on for the rest of our lives 💗

The Red Clover Inn is an absolute hidden gem of a wedding venue. We were able to book a date about 1 year in advance, and we really enjoyed having the entire Inn and property to ourselves for the weekend with our guests. We were able to host a fun, casual welcome pizza party for all our guests, and then the next day had a beautiful outdoor ceremony under the apple tree, and finally an awesome reception dinner and dancing floor in the back yard. The venue and the area was perfect for our outdoors focused wedding. Its close to lots of fun nature activities (biking, hiking, great restaurants), convenient to nearby hotels and store (10 min drive away), with beautiful mountain views the whole time. The Killington area was gorgeous for our June wedding, and I’m sure all seasons are special at this location nestled in the Green mountains. The rooms at the Red Clover Inn are beautifully maintained, elegant, and spacious. Having the entire inn, we were able put up our entire families for the weekend, as well as our wedding parties in the carriage house, and a group of friends in the farmhouse. The detached farmhouse is an amazing space, and we were able to utilize it as an additional hangout space while preparing for the weekend, and as a place to continue celebrating with close friends once the official party wound down. The hottub was also a big highlight. The spacious backyard allowed for our guests to play ample lawn games and enjoy a bonfire both nights of the weekend. The indoor space was of the inn was beautifully decorated, with an excellent tavern room and separate sitting rooms, and was spacious enough to accommodate our 120 guests while a spring shower passed overhead. Carol, the innkeeper and day of coordinator really did an incredible job in organizing the wedding weekend. She gave excellent advice and guidance during a rehearsal on Friday, helped coordinate great bar service and pizza from an external vendor on the Friday night outside underneath the apple tree, and then was extremely helpful in coordinating our DJ and photographer. She had the venue set up and ready to go without us having to worry, and on the day of our wedding she ran the show to make sure that my wife and I didn’t have to worry about anything besides getting ready. Her husband Mike cooked an amazing wedding dinner based on our choice of entrees, and the serving and bar staff were wonderfully kind, helpful, and talented (many guests commented on how good the cocktails were and how fun the staff was!). Carol and the Red Clover staff provided the ideal combination of allow us to create the weekend of our dreams on a gorgeous property in the mountains, while also providing guidance and options for us to choose from so that we knew where to start and what to think about. We are very glad that we chose the Red Clover for our venue, and look forward to returning to stay at the Inn in the future!

Wow! The experience in Red Clover Inn was outstanding. I really loved the place, the quality of service,m. It really felt like home and they take care of every detail. I will definitely recommend this place for a wedding Celebration or any special event! ♥️

They were punctual and flexible at the same time. The customer is their priority and they really know what they're doing!

I officiated the wedding at the Red Clover Inn. It was nothing short of truly magical. The staff could not be more on top of making this event a true celebration. The place was absolutely stunning and the food was off the hook. Everyone had an amazing time truly bonding in the most beautiful space this Inn creates. Well done!

The Red Clover Inn was nothing short of amazing! The facilities, surroundings, spaces, staff and food were all phenomenal!

The grounds here are absolutely beautiful. Our room was very nice. The staff was very professional and the food was delicious!

We had the most amazing experience at the red clover Inn! The setting was absolutely gorgeous. The sunset was absolutely perfect for the wedding. The staff were beyond incredible they really took care of all of the guest.

An absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish RCI gave us an amazing experience that I would have never imagined we'd be capable of having. The property is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was very accommodating. If you want a personalized experience, from someone who truly cares about giving you the wedding of your dreams, this is hands down the best option in Vermont. My sister had her wedding here and I was so blessed to be a part of the wedding party and get to stay at the property for 5 days with my family! I have been dreaming about going back since! I can't wait to book a girls getaway here as well. This venue is not just for weddings, it's a wonderful location for retreats, personal time away and so much more. Not to mention it's minutes away from Killington, hands down one of the best places in VT to ski!

Our wedding weekend at Red Clover Inn and Restaurant was simply phenomenal, all for an extraordinarily reasonable price. The location itself is gorgeous, with a main house, guest house, generous lawn, and fire pit. We had a bon fire every night, and s'mores as a bonus dessert after the rehearsal dinner. We got married underneath a 100-year-old apple tree, with fresh apples on its branches! (And a lovely barn as back-up!) The food was to die for; a menu created from scratch based on the couple's food preferences and seasonality. All of the staff members were so friendly, it was like a summer home we had been visiting for generations—only we didn't have to do any dishes! Love that each room has its own unique feel and character, and there were extra cots for the little ones. Everything about the venue was wonderful—but Carol Petitbon made it over-the-top phenomenal! I had all these ideas for little touches I wanted to put around the Inn, and she followed through and then some! I had bought fabric for table runners, but hadn't had a chance to edge them—she somehow made them look even better! I had collected bottles to hold wildflowers—she loved the idea and sprinkled them around artfully! We brought games to play and she created a whole station, complete with marquee blackboard! I was so nervous, but Carol made everything a breeze! I cannot recommend Carol or this venue more wholeheartedly. Just phenomenal!!

August 10th my husband and I had a fabulous wedding at the Red Clover Inn in Mendon, Vt. The event was planned and managed perfectly by Carol Ryan, the wedding planner. She paid great attention to detail to every aspect of he wedding...always with the most pleasant and friendliest of attitudes. All of our ideas and suggestions were taken into account, often improved upon, and implemented to the fullest. The inn itself is the perfect setting for any wedding, and the staff take great pride and care in delivering the highest level of service. The outside grounds are kept Immaculately and was therefore the perfect backdrop for our outdoor wedding. Furthermore, we were reassured and 100% confident in the knowledge that the inn boasts a beautifully decorated barn were the weather to take a turn for the worst. Dinner service was definitely a highlight of the evening. My husband and I were thoroughly pleased, as were our guests. I also would definitely recommend the Red Clover inn jazz band. Their smooth melodies enhanced the dining experience throughout our big day. Throughout our big day, from the ceremony and dining and up to the closing bonfire, Carol guided us and our guests every step of the way, leaving us comfortable and confident to enjoy our special day knowing we were in good hands.

The moment we stepped foot in the Red Clover Inn, we knew. It was warm, welcoming, elegant and felt like home. No other wedding venue that we visited was nearly as charming and picturesque. When we first met with Carol, the Inn’s Wedding Coordinator, we knew. She was personable, flexible and accommodating. No other wedding coordinator that we met with empowered us the way that Carol did – she reminded us that were the bride and groom, and that it was our vision she was going to help bring to life. This was a breath of fresh air after having met with many wedding coordinators across Vermont that made us feel as though we had to conform to their cookie-cutter vision of a wedding.

In the eighteen months leading up to our special day, we stayed at the Red Clover several times so that we could meet with vendors and review details with Carol. Being from Boston, this was extremely helpful. This was also a chance for us to get to know the staff and familiarize ourselves with the venue.

When we arrived on the weekend of our wedding, Carol and the entire Red Clover staff were already busy bringing our vision to life. They all worked so hard to make the experience easy and seamless for us. Their ability to focus on both the big picture as well as the small details was simply incredible. While the entire weekend was a whirlwind, we were able to let go of the reigns and enjoy every moment with our family and friends.

There are so many things we’d like to call out, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the food. Mike, the Chef, is a genius, and his food was one of the biggest highlights of the weekend for us and everyone who attended. He worked with our ideas and within our budget to craft a series of unbelievably delicious meals that we will never forget.

To Carol, Mike and the entire Red Clover staff, we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us. Over the last eighteen months, you have become part of our family and we plan to come back every year to see you all and remember our special day.

We got married at the Red Clover Inn in October 2018 and it was amazing! A few things that are worth noting:
1) Carol, the point of contact for weddings at the venue, is absolutely brilliant. She knows the area, the vendors, and every little detail inside out and really helps you put things together even from afar (we live in NYC). She is an excellent planner, really good on the day-of, has great ideas and is fun to work with
2) Carol is in line with all the other staff at the venue, which was a major reason we chose the place after visiting a couple of times. Everyone is just so nice and does everything to make it a great day
3) You get the whole weekend, which is fantastic as it allowed us so much flexibility on how to make the most of a destination wedding. We had lots of people traveling internationally so we wanted to make sure people had plenty to do. The venue helped us put on a rehearsal lunch and BBQ (food was incredible) with music, lawn games, fireworks and so many other little things. That was on top of the ceremony and reception the next day and then a brunch on the Sunday before we left. We really built out a plan and we couldn’t have done that without the flexibility of having the venue to ourselves and their help in bringing it all together
4) The recommended suppliers are all great to work with. A few standouts were the flowers and the cake provider, both recommended by Carol
Overall, we would heartily recommend it to anyone thinking of getting married in Vermont. We had the best day!

My wife and I got married at the Red Clover Inn on 9/15/18 and hosted a weekend-long wedding celebration. Absolutely INCREDIBLE wedding venue! The apple tree, romantic/rustic chic Inn, and the surrounding property give the entire place a magical ambiance. Carol and ALL of her staff (including all the inn staff, chefs/kitchen staff, bartenders & servers, housekeeping) are amazing and went above and beyond to make our wedding flawless and stress-free. They are extremely flexible and take so much pride in their work. Seriously, the staff is what sold on us this venue vs. some of their competition in the area.
Carol is super attentive to details and took away any worries we had while being patient, professional, and answering the bazillion questions we had throughout our 5-month planning process. Her sense of humor and experience in hosting events is fabulous, and she does not disappoint. Carol and her staff made recommendations when asked, yet never intruded or questioned our "musts." Her design skills are impeccable. The Inn is gorgeous and each room is decorated with such care and craft. Rooms and the property's landscaping are immaculate.
A few tiny hiccups occurred with outside vendors and Carol handled our vendors so promptly that no-one (ourselves included) even knew anything was going on. We appreciated how well she managed her staff, and the independently contracted vendors.
Our wedding weekend food (tacos for a welcome/rehearsal dinner and barbecue for our reception) was out of this world - thanks to Chef Mike Ryan and the kitchen staff! We entrusted them to make culinary decisions and we're so glad we did because everything was perfect. Most of our wedding guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had.
We also received so many comments from friends and family afterwards about how absolutely perfect everything was - and we completely agree. Easily one of the best weekends of our lives. We will be back, and highly recommend this cozy inn.

Carol and her staff are just amazing - and they took care of every last detail! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of! The Red Clover Inn is perfect for a Vermont wedding - big or small. The grounds offer many photographic settings and the FOOD.....so delicious. This place is a hidden gem in the Killington/Rutland area. We can't wait to go back and visit.

Red Clover Inn was an OUTSTANDING venue! Our day was even more amazing then we could have imagined. Carol PetitBon the Innkeeper and Wedding Coordinator made our day easy, fun and extremely memorable. She just gets it! She was so helpful through the process from the day we booked to the last call on the day of the party. The setting was breathtaking and made for such a variety of activities for all guests. Carol's staff was also fantastic. Each one was cheerful throughout and went out of their way to make even the smallest of requests seem important to us. We will revisit the Red Clover Inn for years to come and all of our first time Vermont-visiting guests are already looking to come back to the great state. For the most memorable experience, choose Red Clover Inn!

My husband and I got married at the Red Clover last month (10/7/17) and we could not be any happier with our choice of venue! From the moment we walked in for the first time in May of 2016, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Carol assured us that all of our wedding dreams could come true at the Red Clover and she did not disappoint! We worked closely with Carol over the last 18 months from New Jersey to create our wedding weekend. She recommended all of our vendors and each one was a perfect fit! Every detail we planned was executed perfectly including our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, breakfast and lunch for our bridal party, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch. Carol took the time to get to know us as a couple and it was completely evident from all the special touches she added to our wedding. From the moment we arrived on Thursday, my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the weekend because we knew that Carol had everything under control! We both felt so calm and just excited to get married! Our guests have not stopped talking about how perfect our wedding was. Our bridal party and parents stayed with us at the inn and they loved every minute of it. Carol, Maggie, Emma, Dylan, Thomas and Sylvia made everyone feel so welcome. Our food was delicious for every meal and many of our guests have already made plans to come back! We have visited several times during the planning process and will continue to do so for years and years to come. We truly feel at home at the Red Clover and consider the staff there our close friends and would not change a single thing about our wedding.

This was an amazing place to get married at. We had both our wedding and reception at the inn and all of our guests stayed there for the weekend as well. We live in Indiana so we were initially nervous about planning an out of state wedding. However, Carol took care of everything and was always available to answer questions so the whole thing was really stress free. She helped us with contacting vendors and all the other million details related. The communication was very good. The place is incredibly clean, the staff is amazing and the food was spectacular. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Our guests raved about the service, the views and did not want to leave. We spent our honeymoon there and plan on returning every year to celebrate our anniversary.

My husband and I were married at the Red Clover Inn on October 8, 2016, and I cannot be complimentary enough about our experience there. Choosing to have our wedding at the Red Clover Inn was the best decision that we made about our wedding. We had a totally smooth, flawless, and stress-free weekend. In conjunction with the exceptional Red Clover staff, we hosted an intimate 80-person weekend-long celebration that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
Innkeeper Carol PetitBon was the lynchpin of our experience. She is a wedding planning veteran with a wealth of experience. Carol and I worked closely together to craft a celebration that felt totally personal. She has planned many weddings at the Red Clover, and has an instinctive ability to suggest ways to make the day go more smoothly. Carol had many wonderful suggestions about ways to personalize the Inn. As a destination bride, Carol made it easy to plan a wedding from afar. She was always happy to talk and discuss details, even months in advance. I particularly appreciated her vendor recommendations. Carol connected us with our florist (Pittsfield Garden Center), DJ (MC Sounds), salon (Five Elements), rental company (Celebration), and cake baker (Trillium Fine Desserts). Each vendor was outstanding. When we arrived for our wedding, we met with Carol about the details of the weekend, and after that, we had nothing to worry about for the rest of our time there. She and her staff created intimate, stunning spaces in our tent and throughout the Inn itself, with no detail left out, throughout all of our wedding events.
Also deserving of special mention is the amazing food, created by Chef Jake. From Friday evening’s home-style barbecue rehearsal dinner, to breakfast buffets that left us warm and full, and especially our locally sourced wedding feast that had a bunch of foodies practically moaning in pleasure, each bite was a treat. We appreciated the special care he and the rest of the staff took for our frien

A truly remarkable experience. We just had our wedding here this weekend and the staff truly went above and beyond! From decor, food, linens, flowers and ambiance, not a single detail was missed. Carol, Thomas, Sara, Dylan and the rest of the Red Clover team are true professionals who know how to make sure weddings hosted there are perfect and absolutely beautiful. We plan on coming back every year on our anniversary!

My husband and I got married at The Red Clover Inn in September of 2016. It was the perfect location for our wedding and reception. Our wedding coordinator, Carol, and the whole team at Red Clover Inn helped us every step of the way. They worked directly with our vendors alongside my husband and I to ensure that everything was taken care of and our weekend was as stress free as possible. The entire inn was ours for the weekend which really allowed our friends and family to relax and hang out for the entire weekend. You and your guests are their sole focus for the entire weekend which makes it more than a wedding.
The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained making it a great back drop for the ceremony. My husband is a chef and as such food was a REALLY important part of our decision. One of the many great things at The Red Clover Inn is there is no set wedding menu. If you can think it, you can have it. Not only are the options limitless the quality, execution and presentation was impeccable. Our guests raved about the food.
On the day of our wedding three of our guests had medical emergencies due to chronic conditions (everyone is doing well now). The team at Red Clover Inn were literally lifesavers. Not only did they get us through and helped minimize our stress and concern for our family they did it so well that our guests were still having fun and enjoying cocktail hour. No one wants to have a medical emergency on their wedding day but Carol and the team at Red Clover Inn handled things so beautifully, minimized our stress and really made sure that my husband and I and our friends and family had an unforgettable and amazingly fun day.
If you are looking for a place where you can truly relax and enjoy not just your day but an entire weekend, then The Red Clover Inn is your place. The food is amazing, the grounds are beautiful and the team is wonderful. We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else!

Our wedding on 8/20/2016 was so amazing that I literally cried as I drove away the Sunday after! Carol and everyone at the Red Clover Inn are so wonderful and were helpful from the very start. They took care of everything; I basically showed up Friday morning of wedding weekend and they handled the rest! I didn't have to worry about a thing. Carol had so many great ideas that I would have never come up with on my own! We never even looked at any other venues, this place was so perfect. The food is INCREDIBLE! I honestly can't say enough good things about it. Everyone told me it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. We consider ourselves to be "foodies" so this was extremely important for us. The drinks aren't bad either! They took the time to sit with us and figure out what we wanted for that whole weekend (food, drinks, decor, vibe, etc etc). The breakfasts that were included were amazing, I think my now husband had at least two plates each morning. Rehearsal dinner was outside and was also amazing. We hosted a lunch our wedding day as well and that was delicious and such a nice touch (another one of Carol's great ideas!). One thing I really love about the Inn is that it made our whole wedding weekend like a giant sleepover with all of our closest family and friends. We took over the entire premises and it was just like being at home. I can't think of a single thing that went wrong. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable, especially the bigger rooms in the carriage house. We ate dinner and stayed before our wedding too, and we just truly loved every minute. We live locally and so many places around here have turned into "wedding factories" and I never got that vibe from the Inn or the staff. If I could give 6 stars I could. We love you guys!!!

The Red Clover Inn is truly one of a kind. The innkeeper, Carol, and the rest of the staff were so friendly and welcoming to us on our very first visit to the inn when we were shopping around for a venue. Carol took the time to sit down with us, answer all of our questions, and invited us to dine and stay the night at the inn. This experience completely won us over, as we had time to fall in love with the property, the beautiful rooms and the food! During our year of wedding planning, Carol was consistently available and responsive to our questions and needs. We also hired the tent company, photographer and florist recommended by Carol, and each of these vendors were FANTASTIC. She has great judgement and will do anything it takes to help you create your vision for the day. Our wedding weekend was perfect. Almost all of our friends and family commented that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended and that is largely due to the beautiful, peaceful setting in the mountains and the amazing staff at the inn. The attention to detail was impeccable, as Carol beautifully displayed signs, flowers, photographs and homemade gifts throughout the inn and tent. She also served as our coordinator and was incredibly attentive and helpful on our wedding day, making sure any issues that arose were immediately taken care of. Jake, Thomas and Dylan, the chef and bartenders, also helped us make a unique and personalized menu for our guests, which everyone loved. My wife and I 1000% recommend the Red Clover Inn, and look forward to visiting for weekend getaways in the coming years.

The staff here have become second family to us. Everyone who attended our wedding was in awe of the inn and of course the food. We had a BBQ rehearsal dinner in the tavern,served family style everyone went back for seconds!On our wedding day we started with a (not your average buffet) breakfast, smoked bacon, fresh fruit, Belgium waffles smothered in Vermont maple syrup and crispy potatoes. Lunch was served to the bridal party in Claire's. Overlooking the grounds of the inn and with views of Pico mountain, you have to stay in this room. After a flawless ceremony orchestrated by the innkeeper Carol we enjoyed venison meatballs, prosciutto wrapped shrimp, baked Brie and flatbreads during cocktail hour while each moment was being captured by Gabby of Winding Roads Photography. With 4 wine choices, Harpoon's "Octoberfest" and Crisp refreshing Champlain cider on tap our guests were delighted at the drink selections. After being introduced by our DJ Michael Coppinger of MC sounds everyone was seated for a most memorable wedding feast. The tent pole was adorned with stunning lighted tree branches, tables were elegantly decorated with beautiful flowers, lanterns and softly lit with birch tree candle holders. (Thanks to Trish of Pittsfield Garden Center) Our meal Began with the best corn chowder I've ever tasted next to a perfectly dressed salad. Followed by a choice of salmon, chicken or filet. I don't think a single plate went back to the kitchen with a morsel of food left on it! Chef Jake and Sous Chef Mike have set the standard for Vermont chefs. Their passion and finesse shine with each course served and their love for Vermont is apparent with the addition of local and fresh ingredients in each dish. Obviously I can't say enough about our experiences at the clover.
If you're looking to have a wedding that your guests will rave about for years to come you have found it at the Red Clover!
