Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Several old friends found the perfect place to reconnect at this historic inn. Every detail was done to perfection. The rooms were charming at the inn. Also, the 70 acres includes alpacas, chickens and a very well kept vegetable farm. We were blown away by this inn and its majestic setting. The manager, Joann, was delightful and very attentive to our experience. We hated to leave and are already planning a return visit.

My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Hill Farm Inn. It was perfect in every way. We stayed in the Battenkill Room. Absolutely beautiful. The Inn itself was tastefully decorated. The farm was so much fun. We especially loved the alpacas and farm cats Tiger and Maple. The staff were all so welcoming. Henrietta and Morgan (staff) and Property Manager Joanne) greeted us daily and helped with any questions about the area. They are hard working and gracious! Maria the wonderful farm chef prepared a delicious farm breakfast every morning. The farm to table restaurant honestly served the best meals we have had. Fresh and delicious! We cant say enough about this lovely property and are making this ...

Terrific ambiance, JoAnn is a great hands on always available director at the Inn on the Farm. Plenty of trails, fly fishing nearby, several alpacas to welcome your daily routine. Breakfast is a top event, homemade pancakes, french toast along with fresh fruit and veggies from the garden. Rooms show great attention to detail, the stay is a premium top value experience. Perfect weekend getaway. Coming back next year

I can’t think of enough superlatives to accurately convey how pleased we were with Hill Farm Inn. It is an exquisite mountain retreat—warm and rustic, yet modern and inviting in all the right ways. The accommodations were cozy and pristine, with a clear attention to detail from top to bottom; every element felt thoughtful and intentional. The breakfast was exceptional, and we dined at the restaurant two of the three nights—each meal was excellent in both quality and quantity. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever feeling intrusive, striking the perfect balance of hospitality. We are a group of outdoor enthusiasts from New York and New Jersey and have been coming to V...

Wow! We’ve been thinking of trying Hill Farm for a while, and we are really glad we did. A top notch restoration of this property makes it an exceptional choice. The rooms are so clean and well-appointed. The common areas are comfortable and cozy. The breakfast is outstanding - everything’s fresh and well-prepared. The Inn is really well-run, but the magic is the people (Joanne, Abby and Maria in particular). Friendly, gracious and working hard to take care of the guests. We ate dinner at the on site restaurant a couple of times and really enjoyed it — the space, inside a restored barn building, is very beautiful. An altogether great experience.
