Hill Farm Inn

Had a tremendous dinner with friends. Limited menu but the food was exceptional. Farm to table and every thing was fresh and uniquely prepared. Order the pita and hummus. Drinks were excellent - a first class bartender. The Mushroom Risotto was phenomenal. The restaurant is very pretty and dinner was set off by a stunning sunset.

A bucolic oasis in Southern Vermont. What a treasure! Gorgeous and peaceful, we spent our afternoon on the lawns of Hill Farm picnicking, watching alpacas, and taking a moment to sit in peace surrounded by lush summer greenery. A rainy storm moved us to the gorgeous wrap-around porch where we sipped tea and pet kitties. At night we lounged in a beautiful and cozy sitting room playing board games with an evening coffee. In the morning we went on a trek down to their nature trial that runs adjacent to the Battenkill and provided us with a little workout. Hill Farm is beautiful. Shabby chic, with an emphasis on chic for sure, while staying true to the vibe of Southern Vermont. It's a great place to be in love. Take your honey here. We are already talking about going back.

Hill Farm Inn near Manchester is a picturesque Vermont getaway gem. The Inn's architecture and eclectic decor makes you feel warmly welcomed. The red barn against the mountains behind the main building with beautiful specimen trees is memorable and relaxing. But what sets this place apart is their exceptional staff. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile, such as ensuring no cross-contamination for my celiac needs, and instantly coming up with loaner cufflinks to cover a packing oops, allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our stay. The restaurant at Hill Farm Inn is also notable – we dined there twice during our stay. If we were locals, we'd definitely be regulars. Bartender Olivia is a true gem combining incredible skill and warm conversation. In addition to her signature house cocktails, she effortlessly crafted a perfect custom drink to pair with my dinner. During our four-day stay, every breakfast was a delight - including gluten-free French toast, a treat missed for some years. We also fed the Alpacas a couple of snacks with apples cut up by the staff. The Alpacas are charming and gentle creatures, very different from Llamas. It was a unique and memorable experience. One afternoon we watched storms roll through from the covered wrap-around porch. Another morning we rocked on the front porch with friendly company from a couple of outdoor Inn cats. We often just lay on the grass and took it all in. If you're seeking a place to decompress and let go, the Hill Farm Inn is the perfect destination.

Lovely, very tasteful inn! So nice to stay outside of the city center at a farm with beautfiul well maintained grounds. We fed the alpacas and played with the beautiful barn cats, made a fire in the firepit. The restaurant was on par with some of our favorite spots in Brooklyn. We are already planning a trip back here in the fall.

Our 3 nights stay at Hill Farm Inn was very nice. The room was very comfortable, there is a sitting room with a fireplace to relax in as well as a bar area, game room and fitness area. Breakfast was delicious every morning. Also on the grounds is a terrific restaurant with a bar, both are highly recommended. The inn is also very close to Lye Brook Falls hiking trail. It is a bit of an uphill 2.5 mile in hike but well worth the view. Manchester is about a 10 minute drive from the inn.

We travel a lot, all over the world. We've never experienced a warmer, happier, gentler atmosphere than at Hill Farm. Every single staff member -- from reception to kitchen to gardeners -- was cheerful, helpful, and kind. The physical premises and surroundings are gorgeous, but the overall feeling of welcome and care here are almost impossible to describe. This is an extraordinary place.

Our experience at the Hill Farm Inn was nothing short of exceptional. The rustic property is gorgeous (we came in the winter — can only imagine the views in a Vermont fall!) and just a few minutes down the road from downtown Manchester. Our room was outstanding, the amenities were top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay that much more enjoyable. The breakfast was a highlight — Maria’s pancakes are world-class! If you’re searching for a place where you can relax, recharge, and spend a weekend away, look no further than the Hill Farm Inn. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This is a beautiful place, excellent food and very kind staff. We rated this a 3 because we were not informed at check in that because we were only staying 2 nights our room would not be refreshed. If we had been informed upfront at check in or even when we booked we would have managed our expectations and not found ourselves surprised and disappointed. We choose to stay here for the lovely reputation and beautiful area. Since we paid a premium to stay here refreshing the room is certainly a reasonable expectation. How disappointing to have not been informed in advance and how disappointing that for what we spent monetarily we were not treated to the entire quality experience. We are disappointed.

Wow! What a gem! We loved our stay! The farm is very charming, there are alpagas you can feed apples to, there are two cute and friendly cats. The surroundings are beautiful, with views on the mountains. You feel very isolated and serene. The staff is very friendly! The breakfasts were delicious. The restaurant at hill farm was simply outstanding, with high quality food! We also took a walk on the river trail, which was really beautiful. The only con is that the mattress were a little too firm. Some guests were there for their seventh time and we have no trouble understanding why. We will definitely come back! We don't want to stay anywhere else in Vermont!
