Description

Opportunity to own and operate a popular restaurant/inn situated in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. This historic building pays homage to its connection with the arrival of the railroad industry in the late 1800’s, as much of that antique aesthetic has been preserved during renovations. Located at 138 Cross St. in Island Pond, the Essex House and Tavern measures over 8000 square feet with a parking lot near the VAST trail system, and has been a staple to both the local community and tourists alike. The Tavern can accommodate up to 48 and features a full bar with POS system/several desktop stations, fully-equipped kitchen with 16’ vent hood, walk-in cooler, and dry/liquor storage. Attached is a dining room with dry bar, perfect for hosting events/entertainment and capable of seating an additional 65. Outside you’ll find an enclosed pavilion measuring 20’x36’ overlooking the Clyde River, serviced and utilized during all seasons by two, overhead, infrared heaters. The Essex House offers a total of eleven renovated rooms with modern amenities and multiple suites, all maintained by a team of housekeepers with a separate laundry room/facilities on-site. This is truly a turnkey operation staffed by capable and experienced employees, allowing for a smooth transition of ownership. This business enjoys a loyal customer base of boaters, snowmobile enthusiasts, seasonal visitors, and second-home owners due to its proximity to the lake, Brighton State Park, & Bluff Mountain.
