Innkeepers at the Park Light Inn are proud to share that in 2007, the Park Light Inn was designated a “Green Hotel” by the Vermont
State “Green Hotels in the Green Mountain State” Program.

Being environmentally responsible doesn’t happen in a day, it is a commitment and one that innkeepers at the Park Light Inn are fully dedicated to. Jo–Ann explains; “in each business decision we make, consideration is given to our environmental impact. Often, it requires greater investment to do the right thing, whether it be more expensive paper products or selecting locally grown organic produce, as opposed to inexpensive imports at the supermarket or wholesaler; expanding upon our vision to reduce our environmental impact takes a staring role in our decision making process. Of course, all the while we must balance the four star Vermont Bed and Breakfast Inn experience to which our guests have become accustomed and have grown to expect – which is why only the highest quality products and service providers are even considered.” The Park Light Inn has adopted strong environmental policies and has committed to expanding upon such practices and policies in the future.
