A Family Hotel in Vermont
At On The River Inn, we offer something for every member of the family. Set along the Ottauquechee River just minutes from Woodstock Village, our hotel is a relaxed home base for family trips to Vermont in every season.
Spend the day exploring farms, trails, museums, ski areas, covered bridges, and the village of Woodstock. Then come back to the Inn for a swim in the indoor pool, a game in the Games & Entertainment Room, dinner at 506 Bistro & Bar, and s’mores by the river.
Whether you are visiting for a summer getaway, fall foliage weekend, winter ski trip, spring break, or a quiet family escape, On The River Inn makes it easy to settle in and enjoy Vermont together.
A Place For The Entire Family
Games & Entertainment Room
Unwind and play in our Games & Entertainment Room. Challenge friends and family at the air hockey table, enjoy a round of foosball, or gather around a favorite board game.
It is the perfect spot for rainy afternoons, after-dinner fun, or a laid-back evening with the whole family.
Nightly S’mores by the River
Gather by the river for nightly s’mores, weather permitting. It is one of our favorite ways to end a Vermont day.
Toast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy a cozy family moment under the evening sky.
Toddler Room
Younger guests have a place of their own in our Toddler Room. It is a comfortable spot for little ones to play, explore, and take a break between family outings.
It is especially helpful for families traveling with toddlers or preschool-age children.
Billings Farm & Museum
A family trip to Woodstock is not complete without a visit to Billings Farm & Museum. Kids can meet farm animals, explore historic barns, learn about Vermont farm life, and enjoy seasonal programs and activities.
Montshire Museum of Science
The Montshire Museum of Science is a favorite for hands-on learning and indoor-outdoor fun. Kids can explore science, nature, water exhibits, trails, and interactive displays made for discovery.
It is a great choice for families looking for something fun, educational, and close to Woodstock.
VINS Nature Center
Visit the Vermont Institute of Natural Science in nearby Quechee for trails, nature programs, raptors, and the Forest Canopy Walk.
It is a memorable stop for families who love wildlife, birds, and time outdoors.
