Hill Farm Inn

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:)

Blessed to spend three incredible nights and two gorgeous days at this beautiful inn. We had never been to Vermont prior to this trip and Hill Farm exceeded our expectations at every turn. The River House was exceptional in design and amenities; a tranquil setting near the the Battenkill River and with great mountain views. The icing on the cake was the gorgeous Vermont Fall colors. We had dinner at the restaurant and were treated with innovative cocktails and delicious five-star entrees. The staff was exceptionally professional, friendly and informative.

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.

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.

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.

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.
