A farm stay on your Vermont vacation is a fun family lodging adventure

If you want a truly fulfilling farm experience, you have to stay at the Liberty Hill Farm & Inn, where you and your family can experience the everyday adventures of the farming life. Wake up to a hearty breakfast of eggs, pancakes and baked oatmeal, then explore the barn — the kids will want to see the hayloft, and maybe you want to take a crack at milking a cow or bottle-feeding a calf. There are meadows to stroll through, vegetables and berries to pick, followed by a bountiful family-style dinner (with luck, there will be chicken pot pie). Relax in your comfy room, a cozy nook or in a rocking chair on the farm porch. You’ll discover why there are so many return guests!

At the Wild Trails Farm, guests are invited to pick and enjoy apples from the backyard orchard, fruit from the berries area and veggies from the gardens. It’s part of the welcoming atmosphere at this 472-acre farm, nestled among some of Vermont’s prettiest ponds, orchards, meadows and forests. Stay in one of the bed-and-breakfast inn’s six comfortable rooms, then enjoy activities from bocce to volleyball, billiards in one of the well-appointed common rooms or just relax in the spa area with its large sauna. There’s also an extensive network of trails for hiking, biking or cross-country skiing, and it’s an easy drive to several of Vermont’s most scenic and historic towns for shopping, dining and entertainment.
