We have an eco-worm farm that allows us to turn kitchen cuttings into soil for our gardens which then produce flowers and herbs for our use.

Dominion Hotel owners, Shawn and Elli Chamberlin, have a long history in hospitality. From operating restaurants and having rental cottages to extensive travel and staying in a variety of accommodations around the country, they have learned much about creating a great guest experience. And they are still learning! It is their objective to see each guest treated as if they were a A long time fan of comedian and actor, Bob Newhart (Shawn shares a September 5 birthdate with him) led to the inspiration for owning and operating a small inn in a quaint town. Bob's TV Series in the 1980s starred Bob Newhart and Mary Frann as an author and wife who owned and operate an inn located in a small, rural Vermont town that was home to many eccentric characters. Observing the lifestyle in the series led to a speck of jealousy and a lot of inspiration. They finally acted on this inspiration in 2004. They have found that the TV series is closer to life than they thought it would be. Similar to the TV series where Bob continues to work as an author and his wife has family and community interests close to heart, Shawn has an active schedule of music performing and Elli keeps everything together.
Dominion Hotel has been welcoming guests since July 1865
