Hill Farm Inn - Manchester

Stayed for a few nights in the River House at Hill Farm. River House is a stand alone house under a mile away from the main inn. House was phenomenal, clean, comfortable, large and well appointed. 4 bed 5 bath, pool table, 2 sitting areas, and extra large eat in kitchen. Perfect if you’re going with your family or a group. Reserve the front half of the house as well and add another 4 bedroom and sauna. Two halves connected. Breakfast each morning only needed the short drive to the main inn but well worth it. Different options each morning were delicious Hill Farm restaurant on property was fabulous. Great options, gluten free and awesome drinks! Definitely get a reservation.

We loved our stay here. It was even more beautiful in person and accommodations were wonderful at the River house. Our breakfast was great with savory and sweet options daily. Our rooms were comfy and pretty with views out every window. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at their incredible restaurant onsite in a renovated raised barn being sophisticated yet casual. The menu Was surprising in the best way and the food amazing. The staff was great and offered advice on where to venture for the best experiences around the area and in the town of Manchester. This is a great place to have a wedding, retreat or any large group get together! Only wish I’d been sooner, but we’ll be back:)

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.

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.
