A stay at this exceptional farm inn means a new adventure every day for guests

Every day brings a new adventure for guests at the Liberty Hill Farm & Inn, where families come back year after year to relax in the inviting atmosphere, to help with chores, to dine on the world’s best comfort food and to enjoy being together. Rooms at the inn are cozy and comfortable. Exceptional home-cooked breakfasts and dinners are served family-style around the big dining room table. And guests are more than welcome to help with everything from cow-milking to picking vegetables for that night’s meal.
