The Wildflower Inn

Staff was great!

Breakfast was really bad, even by “continental breakfast” standards.

Quaint hotel with excellent onsite restaurant, nice atmosphere

Great location right next to the Kingdom Trails for mountain biking. Breakfast is very convenient. Storage for mountain bikes is a plus. We enjoyed dinner at the on site restaurant.

Rooms are old and in need of renovations. Shower goes from 'off' to 'burning hot' with almost nothing in between. No accommodations for electric vehicles.

This inn is exquisite! It’s a multi-building facility that offers miles of biking trails on the surrounding acreage as well as a children’s theatre. Our room was large and offered a breathtaking sunset view. Shoulda booked two nights!

Location can’t be beat, but accommodations can…location to mountain bike Kingdom Trails can’t be beat, onsite bike storage and bike rental plush wash station is clutch. But breakfast is under whelming for a Vermont B&B -basic continental with self made instant oatmeal as highlight and compared to the level of food quality they put out for dinner I was quite disappointed. They ran out of coffee by 8ish and I didn’t see anyone checking in on status so I just made tea. Nice restaurant/pub/tail side bar. If you’re looking to eat a nice meal out PLEASE PAT ATTENTION to the Thursday-Saturday restaurants are the best but limited hours, good thing about this place is that they serve dinner nightly which is unique for the area. This place is VERY KID & DOG friendly so if you don’t like screaming kids and barking dog noises floating through the paper thin walls choose another B&B. Kids did seam to love the heated pool -splashing around as soon as the sun came up. The building housing guest rooms is very old and out dated, no AC so summer/warm nights quite uncomfortable even with crazy loud wall window AC. No ceiling fan for airflow support. Carpeting that’s tough for lots of use, but musty & musty old couch chairs en-suite remind of old folks home. Bed and bathroom clean, but pillows very flat and in need of refresh. If you’re looking for good value you’ll find it here, if you want a luxurious Vermont B&B with great breakfast & comfortable accommodations keep looking.

My parents, siblings and I used to travel to the Wildflower Inn on an annual basis when I was a child and I had incredible memories of our time there. So when a two-night stay at the Wildflower Inn became available as part of a silent, online auction that was intended to benefit a local (to the Inn) school that one of our closest friends worked at, I thought that it was a perfect opportunity to share the magic with my wife and my own children. I could not have been more wrong. I called and booked our stay and mentioned that I was the silent auction item winner and that I wanted to make sure that information was included in the notes for my reservation. I was told that I was all set and that my reservation as the winner of the silent auction item was confirmed Upon arrival, I discovered that I misplaced the piece of paper that we received indicating that we had won the auction item - we discovered after our trip that it had fallen in between the seats of our car. Please keep in mind that this piece of paper was not individually numbered, did not have a bar or QR code. Instead it was a black and white printout of a photo of the Inn that said something along the lines of "Two Night Stay". That's it. After a 4+ hour ride, I entered the main building to check in and informed the young woman working at the front desk that I was there to check in and that I was the winner of the two night say silent auction. I also informed her that I did not have the certificate on me but that I could show her the email indicating that we won the item and, if necessary, I could also get the person who ran the silent auction on the phone or to come down in person and vouch for us. Her response: "That is not going to work. We need the piece of paper." I asked her if we could work together to find a solution that would work for everyone based on what we had available at the time (the email, our local friends, the director of the auction, and the notes in my reservation). She said no and I told her that was not going to work for us and that we should be able to utilize the silent auction item that we paid for regardless of whether or not we had a non-unique piece of paper, especially given that we had other methods of verification. At this, she stood up behind the desk in an exceedingly aggressive manner, leaned towards me and shouted "You're not hearing me! That's not going to work!" At this I told her that I didn't think it was necessary to shout and I wondered if there was someone else available to speak with. She flashed me a condescending smile, said "I need a moment" and walked out of the front desk area, slamming the door on her way out. I waited at the front desk for a few moments and the young woman eventually returned. She told me "I will finish checking you in and the manager will speak to you later." Given that my wife and children were eager to get checked and settled in, I told her that was fine and completed the check in process. The manager never sought me out. Instead, I had to seek her out the next day at which time she offered a curt apology for the young woman's conduct and told me that they would honor my silent auction item. We stayed in the Darling Suite and I genuinely wish I didn't have more to share. However, once we got into the room, there were flies and fly carcasses everywhere. They were all over the carpeted floor, in every window, in each bedroom. It was disgusting. Overall, for the price that they charge on that room in particular, it is run down, tired, and, frankly, not worth it. Finally, in a similar vein to some of the other reviews, the breakfast is lackluster at best and it used to be a highlight back when I used to stay with my family. The only reason that I gave this review a "Poor" and not a "Terrible" is because my family and our local friends' family had a great meal in the restaurant. I wish I could review the restaurant and their staff separately because I would rate it as "Excellent". The food was very, very good, the waitstaff was extraordinarily friendly and accommodating (we had 4 kids with us and my wife has certain food allergies) and we had a phenomenal experience. We make the trip up to the Northeast Kingdom annually and we will not be staying at the Wildflower Inn again, which, honestly breaks my heart because I wanted my kiddos to experience some of the magic I had the chance to experience as a child. I truly wanted to love it and to have a great experience but it was the exact opposite. We do, however, hope to return to the restaurant! Again, great food and hospitable staff.

Charged way to much for what you got. They seem to think they have something special but the facility is run down.

Very dated and charged too much..
