ABOUT 138 CROSS ST , BRIGHTON, VT 05846
Prominently located in the heart of Island Pond, VT, is the Essex House and Tavern. Housed in an 1866-era building that has been renovated to create an atmosphere that reflects the history of the Essex House by keeping the original wood supports combined with a modernized, antique aesthetic. The revitalized tavern features a vintage industrial vibe with seating for 48. A separate dining room seats 65 and is perfect for private events. The 36x20’ pavilion, added in 2020, is heated for winter use, and in warmer months more seating can be added just outside to serve more customers. The VAST trail flows directly into the large, paved parking lot, and the town roads are open to ATVs and UTVs. Brighton State Park, seton the shores of Spectacle Pond, and Island Pond attract visitors for boating, fishing, and swimming, and hiking trails in the area are plentiful. An 18-mile drive takes you to East Burke for world-class mountain biking at Kingdom Trails and classic Vermont skiing at Burke Mountain. If you’re ready to live and work in the wonderful playground of the Northeast Kingdom, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Are you ready to take this turnkey business to the next level?
