The Wildflower Inn

My family and I stayed recently, and we had a great time. We stayed in a clean and spacious suite, which had great views. While we stayed we enjoyed dinner at their restaurant. Service was great while we stayed. We were satisfied and will be back!

We had a terrible experience at the Inn during the solar eclipse of 2024. We paid a steep $650/night for an apartment with 3 bedrooms that was simply falling apart and incredibly dirty; traveling with two young children, this made our stay a nightmare. 2 out of the 3 nights spent there, the furnaces were not working so no heating (after a blizzard!) and no hot water. The furnaces were eventually restarted but only late at night, and the furnace room had to be left wide open in the middle of the main hallway which was a huge hazard with young kids. One of the beds was covered in insect carcasses. All sink faucet handles were broken, and the sinks would not drain water so we had to wash our hands in 10 seconds or the water would overflow. A power switch was broken, leaving cables uncovered. There was a huge layer of dust everywhere, the kitchen cabinets were streaked of black, the shower floor was stained black. Internet worked maybe 10% of the time. Breakfast was very simple (which is fine). What left us most disappointed is that we complained about the lack of heating and we were told by the managers “sorry, but we addressed the issues” implying that we had no right to complain. We were still not able to shower 2 out of 3 days and had to leave with a furnace room open in the middle of our living space, so we thought that this was a very inconsiderate answer to give. We will certainly not be back and we do not recommend this place to anyone.

We had stayed at the Wildflower Inn many times over the last 15 years. The previous owners retired and it changed hands a year ago so some of these comments may reflect that it is in transition. There were some great things and some not so good. The great - the location is still stunning, next to Kingdom Trails adjacent to a bike rental store with amazing views and lovely flowers. It is a magical spot. The staff were all very friendly from pre visit call and in every interaction. Dinner was excellent, perhaps even better than in the past and the bar was clearly likely with good music (although we didn’t visit). I liked that there were new walking trails and we even built a fire pit. These would bring 5stars. I knocked off two stars for the following: Our room was tired. I think it was previously an office. It’s possible renovations are underway. The room was not cleaned during the 3 night stay. This is stated on a piece of paper at check in. I asked for it to be, accepting that this would incur an up charge. However the inn was very busy and the cleaners didn’t make it. I think a room should be cleaned at least once for a 3 night stay. I did ask for at least towels to be delivered, but they weren’t. I was able to pick one up at the desk. I did not like the new style of breakfast. I loved the previous cooked breakfasts. They were a great start to a day outside and a lovely way to interact with the hosts. A continental breakfast could be nice too, but this one was prepackaged options, like at a Hampton Inn. There isn’t anything wrong with that, I eat at a lot of Hampton Inns, but it is not what I personally am looking for in a country inn. There was a food truck selling crepes. These were delicious but were only there on one day. I suspect the inn is trying to up capacity and keep costs down. This may be inevitable for viability but it needs to be careful to not lose the character. On the other hand it is fantastic to see it thriving.

the rooms were fine nice beds good shower. the bar was fun bartender was great then we made the hug mistake of eating their first day the food was ok chicken marsala was more like chicken and gravy with a few mushrooms. day two they sent out a hamburger that was to be cooked med was burnt on outside cold in the middle the next day get chicken fingers they comped them after we told manager didn t mess up the chicken last day ordered another simple meal chicken sandwich wanted lettuce and tomato they sent out black cherry tomatos didnt grill the bun and warn lettuce the last time we were their food was great will never go back do not eat there just sleep go to town to eat

The stay was poor to fair and I don't see myself staying there again or recommending it to others. My thoughts of the room- Exterior: The wood rot on the of the building made the first impression very poor. Peeling/chipping didn't add charm, just neglect. The patio when entering on the back of building, where you park, had wrapped wood beams that could injury someone if not paying attention. Theres no signage on the property of what the buildings are named eg: Carriage House, school house. This would be a great option other than a map for self navigation, because if you don't know where you are on the map, it's not very helpful. Room: non-family room in Carriage house The bathroom could stand to be remodeled, or at least removal of the unsightly stain in the sink and replacing the knobs one is cracked and missing a center piece of it. The counter that was installed to hold the sink is certainly from the 80s or 90s. I did enjoy a heater in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. There was one upholstered chair in the room. The other two seating options were metal chairs. As one could image metal chairs are NOT relaxing whatsoever. Another upholstered seating option in the room would've been nice. Add-on to your stay: They failed to be mindful when placing overpriced items in the room ahead of the arrival. My partner and I arrived at the Inn around 830pm, but knew that was the case and had indicated it on the pre-check in and original reservation. The champagne upon arrival to the room was bathing in a bucket of cold water and cloth napkin sopped onto it. The sweat from the bucket leaked onto the wood furniture causing water ring damage and a paper flyer being stuck it. The champagne should've been delivered to the room closer to my time of arrival or better yet, given to the front desk to deliver to the room upon arrival. OR place something under the bucket to protect your furniture. The antipasto was yummy, however it came with only one cheese knife. I would expect at least two plates, silverware, and napkins, as that menu item is not a finger food. However none of these items were in the room. Just coffee mugs. This place was not my cup of tea. I'll pay a $50 extra to stay down the road the Burklyn Inn next time.

No television or radio in rooms. Walls pretty thin, so it was easy to hear noise from adjoining rooms. Nice staff. Property needs some maintenance. Our toilet leaked and made gurgling sounds in the morning. Door and key to the room were difficult to operate. Plenty of parking. Nice views.

When you stay here you’ll really feel you’re in Vermont. The mountain air, the views, the farm house. I have a big family, 6 kids, we got the 7 person room and it was huge! We slept comfortably with all the different beds. The breakfast was basic but more than enough, but you can beat the views sitting by the window in that big breakfast nook overlooking the valley and the mountains. Love it.

Quick weekend getaway and decided to stay in the Northeast Kingdom for the first time - were pleasantly surprised to find the Wildflower Inn. It's a mountain biking mecca but we were there just for kicks - great restaurant and very comfortable room in the Meadows buidling. My husband is accustomed to watching some TV before bed and also news in the AM so he was disappointed no TV! We made the best of it and I didn't really miss having one!

Very nice, scenic property with a bar and restaurant and a nice continental breakfast in the am. Bring your mountain bikes!
