Loved by Vermonters and visitors “in the know”
Relaxed, low key and loved by Vermonters and visitors “in the know", Baldwin Creek is the perfect place for a local burger and craft beer or a romantic dinner and artisan cocktail. It’s a comfortable place to stay, and the ideal place for your dream wedding.
Nestled at the foothills of the Green Mountains in the beautiful Champlain Valley, Baldwin Creek is ideally located just 30 minutes south of Burlington, 30 minutes east of Lake Champlain and 20 minutes north of Middlebury.
Inspired by the working landscape of Vermont, sustainability is the foundation of our chef-owned farm to table restaurant and inn. We are one of a select few restaurants in the state of Vermont to have received the Slow Food Snail of Approval Designation. Beautifully situated in a narrow valley just north of Bristol village, Baldwin Creek occupies a classic New-England-style house with a renovated barn for larger events. Wooden lampposts guide the way for cars entering the grounds. Behind the inn are the greenhouses and a chicken coop - home to dozens of Red Star chickens, providing fresh eggs and produce for Mary’s Restaurant. It's as locally-sourced as food can get.

Since 1983 Chef-Owner Doug Mack has offered farm-to-table menus emphasizing all local products.
Fresh food sourced from our own on-site farm as well as other small, local farms is the framework upon which our culinary magic is built.
"A visit to Vermont and missing Mary's is like visiting Paris and missing the Eiffel Tower… the food at Mary's is legendary" Vermont Magazine
Menu offerings range from naturally–raised beef, lamb, rabbit, venison and chicken to fresh fish and wonderful vegetarian selections.
We are proud members of Slow Food Vermont, part of Slow Food International, an organization dedicated to good, clean and fair food. Slow Food works to protect the world’s food and its food traditions.
We represented Vermont Chefs at Slow Food's Terra Madre conference in Turin, Italy in both 2006 and 2010. In 2013 we were the first in Vermont to be awarded the Slow Food Snail of Approval Designation.

All bedrooms feature queen or king beds with luxurious linens and down comforters. Two of the Inn’s rooms feature gas–fired wood stoves to chase away Vermont's winter chill and to set a romantic mood year around. The rooms all have private baths, some with claw foot tubs, one with a walk-in handicapped shower and one with a single whirlpool tub.
A farm-fresh breakfast is included, served daily from 8:30–9:30. Early departures may request a continental breakfast beginning at 7:30. A bottomless cookie jar and a complimentary coffee-tea station are always available.
For over 30 year, co-owners Linda Harmon and Douglas Mack, have been serving a free Christmas dinner for Addison County residents. The dinner is targeted for low-income Vermonters and seniors, but open to all - it's not the holiday season without this annual feast.
