Guest Reviews
- Emmanuel (8/5): -
- Brenda (10/5): First time here and I had an amazing experience. I will totally go back again. - Everything was amazing! The staff, the cleanliness, the location, the room, the food, and the atmosphere were amazing. The beds were a little hard but no complaints.
- Richard (10/5): - It was very quiet and peaceful Nothing to complain
- Judith (10/5): -
- Ellen12525 (10/5): Lovely Inn - Rabbit Hill Inn in Waterford, VT was a lovely romantic place for a getaway. Food was excellent & staff very friendly. We stayed in the Cedar Glen room & found it comfortable. The Inn is beautifully authentic to its history
- roamers99 (10/5): Still our favorite inn. - Going back there is going to a place of great comfort for us. We've been going to Rabbit Hill for about 20 years. It's still our favorite place in all of our travels. On this past stay, we felt welcomed and valued.
- sheilamk87 (10/5): Perfect retreat! - What a wonderful stay we had here! We have stayed in many B&Bs in New England over the years and this one is at the top. From the immaculate rooms to the delicious 3 course breakfasts, this place is amazing. The staff was so accommodating and always available if you needed anything. Alyssa is a gem who went out of her way to make our stay an excellent experience. We are already planning to return later in the year. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all and relax, this inn is the perfect retreat!
- connormH9557HP (10/5): 10/10, Great Experience! - My trip to Rabbit Hill Inn was an experience my wife and I will always cherish and a destination worth visiting again. Our room (Top of the Tavern) was cozy, private, clean and perfect for a weekend getaway / anniversary trip. The town of Littleton nearby was filled with plenty to do, however the Inn itself had everything needed to really be an all inclusive experience. The main restaurant exceeded our expectations, as did the included breakfast and pub food menu. The pub itself was a fun place to grab a drink at night and socialize and was one of our favorite spots in the Inn. The staff was very accommodating and friendly…especially as both my wife and I have gluten allergies and they made sure everything was taken care of. Although a weekend here pushes on the pricier side, it was worth every penny. Can’t recommend Rabbit Hill Inn enough, and look forward to experiencing another trip here during a non-winter month!
- JRPNewhampshire (10/5): Perfec couples getaway - Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Comfortable spacious room with gas fireplaces, sitting room with hot tub. Great Staff, restaurant (dinner and included breakfast) excellent. Nice afternoon teas, morning coffee ready to go at 6:30. Public areas comfortable, peaceful. Great staff. Perfect couples place for a getaway in an area with interesting things to do . We are repeat visitors.
- Ambassador719398 (10/5): A fantastic place to stay - One of the outstanding features of the end was the innkeeper, the assistant in keeper and the entire staff they were there to make sure wehad a very positive experience. The room was neat clean we stayed in this particular room, the carridge corner several times over the past few years and always had an enjoyable experience Our stay was for three nights , two nights we had dinner and drinks at the snooty Fox and one night we enjoyed an outstanding meal at the main dining room I can’t say enough good things about the Rabbit Hill Inn and look forward to our next visit
- lisef421 (10/5): A truly relaxing & peaceful getaway - We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Rabbithill Inn in Vermont. Our luxury suite was the nicest B&B room we ever stayed at in our 40 years of B&B. The breakfast were generous & delicious. The staff were all friendly & welcoming. Could not have stayed in a better well maintained historical inn. Thank you Courtney, Alyssa & Heather
- Dave (10/5): -
- aaronsH4585FW (6/5): Not what it once was - Unfortunately, after regularly visiting the Rabbit Hill Inn for over a decade, this past trip will be our last. The new owners/management have made some changes that really took away from the experience and enjoyment. The food is still good, but it use to be great. They no longer allow you to work on puzzles in your room, they have to be done in the common areas. The staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable, it just isn't the great experience we have come to expect. A disappointing shift from what was once our "happy place".
- J3222YFcraigd (10/5): A great escape! - This was my second stay at the Inn and was another great experience. The beauty about this place is that it is consistently good; the clean and nicely appointed rooms, the friendly and professional staff, the delicious food, peaceful atmosphere and how that resonates with you. I would recommend the Rabbit Hill Inn to anyone!
- Craig (10/5): I would recommend the Rabbit Hill Inn for your next B&B stay! - The Inn was a well preserved building with warm decor and furniture. The staff was friendly, welcoming and professional and seemed to enjoy working there. I ate in the pub and the food was delicious as well as breakfast the next morning in the dining room. It seemed like every detail was thought out and the place seemed very customer centered. The room was clean and comfortable and nicely appointed. The area was pretty rural, but I came to see that it was actually nice to step away from the norm and have some peaceful time that was well needed.
- perry52018 (10/5): Delightful! - This surprise birthday getaway from my husband exceeded my expectations! In this quiet Vermont town this Inn provides comfort, kindness and delicious food. Upon our arrival the Innkeeper gave us a tour of the Inn explaining the dining schedule and the common spaces, including the fact that we can use one of the very unique and challenging Stave puzzles as a fun activity! Our room was spacious yet cozy with the fireplace being the focus of our stay. It was delightful to relax in front of the fire and read or needlepoint. We also were able to snowshoe behind the Inn in the woods and fields which was an unexpected perk. The biggest surprise was the quality of the food, it was delicious! The three course breakfast that was included with the room was spectacular. Kudos to the chef! We also ate a dinner at the Snooty Fox and one at the 24 Carrot........we were not disappointed. I don't want to forget to mention that the staff was not only friendly but so professional. All in all this was a stay to remember and we hope to visit again.

- Edward (10/5): This is our second stay at the inn. We will be back again. - Staff was very pleasant. Meals excellent. Clean and quiet.
- J2099NYsamuelb (10/5): Winter Get Away at the Rabbit Hill Inn - This was an amazing three day anniversary get away for my wife and I. I cannot do this place justice with my words. It is a must visit. The staff and the Inn are absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a get away with your spouse, this is it. If you like Stave Puzzles, then you have to stay here at least once.
- Jean (10/5): -
- G9941HVstevek (10/5): Highly Recommended - After visiting with Family for Christmas, we decided to stay 2 nights at Rabbit Hill Inn. Tremendous place! Staff couldn’t be nicer. Quant New England spot, especially with some fresh snow. Highly recommended. We will be back.
- Michelle (10/5): Just perfect. - The innkeepers, Courtney and Cari treated us like well loved family! The food at the Inn was excellent!! I loved the 3 course breakfast, pastry, yogurt and granola, then a choice of sweet or savory main. We also love Stave puzzles and really enjoyed relaxing at a puzzle table on a rainy afternoon. No reflection on the Inn or Innkeepers but it was rainy during our stay so we didn't get to take advantage of the evening firepit with marshmallow roasting. I imagine the garden is lovely in season.
- Cruiser50396282151 (10/5): A relaxing, tranquil stay! - From the moment we walked through the door to check in, it was evident that the staff understood the definition of hospitality. The innkeeper gave a quick tour of the common areas explaining the meal schedule and hours of the restaurant and pub, showed us to our room and handed us the key. The inn had a cozy feel thanks to the fires flickering in the gas fireplaces and the appropriate balance of antiques and comfortable furniture. We dropped our bags in our room and took advantage of the afternoon tea and sweets while sitting down at one of the many tables for a game of Scrabble while another couple was working on a Stave wooden puzzle made in down the road in White River Junction, Vermont (one of many available at the inn through a relationship between the inn and the puzzle makers). Our room included a queen canopy bed, two wing back chairs in front of the gas fireplace, a bureau, small refrigerator and CD player with a selection of relaxing music. There were plenty of lamps and outlets, for sitting and reading or charging devices. A good size bathroom had a full tub/shower and bright vanity lighting above the sink. The room was very quiet at night, making it easy to fall asleep. From our front window there was a view of the main road and the church and town office/library across the street. Although we didn't use it due to cold and drizzle, there's a large patio on the back of the building with a firepit and chairs, and a grassy lawn with a shuffleboard court bordered by trees on the back. By the exit to the patio you'll find a couple jars with the makings of S'more's for those so inclined. We ate in the Snooty Fox Pub one night. This small pub has maybe three tables , but it spills out into one of the common rooms where you can play a game, or put together a puzzle while enjoying a drink. There were a couple craft beers on tap and a full bar. Breakfast each morning included a little fresh fruit, a couple tasty home baked items and two entree choices. The two mornings we ate there the choices were an egg dish or French toast or pancakes. A couple things not to expect. Stores and shops. There are no stores or shops in Lower Waterford. You must travel about 15 minutes to either Littleton, NH or St. Johnsbury, VT if you want any kind of shopping or downtown area to walk around. That said, the Davies Memorial Library across the street, above the town office, is the only honor-system library left in the state. You just walk into the unstaffed library, take out a book and return it when you're done. Also, there are no televisions in the inn, so it's a great excuse to spend quality time with loved ones and friends. Although there is WIFI that worked just fine. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and are considering returning with friends sometime in the future. We would definitely recommend this place as a quiet respite.
- prsimpkins (10/5): Lovely get away in a charming and very comfortable Vermont inn. - A lovely two-night get away. Off season, so very quiet, yet everyone was very cordial and engaging. Our room (River Mist) was one of the smallest ones at the inn but plenty large for two people. (In fact, three quests could have shared it since it had a day bed in an attached room that probably at one time had been a porch.). It served our 80-years old needs—good lighting, comfortable bed, nice wingback chairs for sitting, walk in shower. We had read the reviews saying the food was excellent, but because we both love to cook, often are disappointed after reading that in a review. We were pleasantly surprised. The appetizer we had while sitting at the bar the first night were just what we needed after having a large lunch on our way there. I can’t remember their exact name but one was a plate of yummy light yet filling potato croquettes and the other sizzled kale (?) with tiny pieces of candied ginger as a garnish. We plan to try to duplicate both of these at home. The gnocchi at dinner and the roast pork with apples and parsnip purée were both delicious. The morning we were leaving, we were impressed with the light lemon curd served with brioche French toast and breakfast sausage. Delightful!
- Ronald (10/5): Thanks for a relaxing couple days with fun puzzles and great food and people!! - Great job of running classic inn while having it owned by a company. Excellent food and facility with a great staff. Will be back!! Nothing
- Matthew (7/5): Trying too hard - Beautiful old country inn. Charming rooms and public areas with fireplaces are perfect for relaxing. The inn is trying too hard to be an upscale luxury resort. Pub was charming, but menu was too fancy with not a lot of pub style food. Staff was friendly, but overly so, which made it feel uncomfortable and somewhat snobbish. Private bathroom was retrofitted and not up to the standards of the rest of the inn. Breakfast was included, which is standard for a bed & breakfast inn, but what bothered us the most was the server handing us a charge slip at the end of the included meal to add a tip for her service! Wouldn’t stay here again.
- Peggy (10/5): I’d repeat that stay in a heartbeat. - From the moment we arrived we received incredibly helpful and attentive service. We especially enjoyed having time to unwind in the lounge by the fire with a deck of cards and tea before dinner. I could happily have stayed for days. The dinner at the 24 Carat was simply wonderful, so tasty! Breakfast was also a treat. We left feeling rested and refreshed. I only hope I can return one day.
- Robert (7/5): - Access to room was limited for people our age.
- Victoria (10/5): - The staff went above an beyond to make sure we were comfortable. I don't believe the word no was in their vocabulary. The restaurant at the property was fantastic and it was an incredibly comfortable stay.
- LightPacker735545 (10/5): Celebrating a birthday - A friend and I wanted a special place to help celebrate her birthday, and Rabbit Hill did not disappoint. Bedrooms and public spaces are beautifully and comfortably appointed, with warming fires in the fireplaces on a cold November day. Service was top notch throughout. My friend walks with crutches and before our visit, the folks at the Inn and I spent a fair bit of time determining the best room for us. And there was even more accommodation when we arrived. The house-made baklava was a treat at afternoon tea, and my friend really enjoyed her catch of the day supper, and especially her "dessert" espresso martini! It was, indeed, a special birthday celebration. Bravo Rabbit Hill.
- JoanG376 (10/5): Best Inn - Rabbit Hill is the best. Highly recommend this Inn. Breakfast the best and staff friendly and accommodating. Very relaxing and enjoyed every moment. Thank you!
- Joseph (10/5): Great place to stay. Far from madding crowd for 2-3 days. - Breakfast was excellent. Calm & Cosy ambience. None
- christinecV2671SC (10/5): Anniversary Delight - My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway for our 25th anniversary. The Rabbit Hill Inn and meal at the 24 Carrot restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable room, friendly innkeepers and an excellent breakfast made for all the finishing touches to a lovely experience. We highly recommend this Inn.
- Robert (8/5): - Location, staff
- Boston59_10 (8/5): More of a hotel vibe than homey B&B - If you have never been here before, you will find it a lovely inn. For those of you who have stayed here before, you might be a bit disappointed as we were. The Stave puzzles were a big draw for my husband and myself. Since changing ownership, the puzzles are now held in the office, must be checked out, and only worked on in the common rooms. This is what made the Rabbit Hill Inn unique and special to us; working on these special puzzles after a hike or when it was raining. The current attitude is one of distrust and fear that you’ll lose pieces rather than one of “hey, we have these great puzzles, try working on one.” More of a hotel attitude than the old “welcome to my home” vibe. Not sure if we will return.
- Richard (9/5): Lovely stay - highly recommended - The hotel has real character and is a nice place to stay for a few days in Vermont. The stand out feature is the restaurant. All our meals at the Inn were excellent. I was a little surprised that our room wasn't serviced after coming back on our second day, but maybe I should have asked for that to happen. There's also no TV in the room, which is a little odd for an Inn of this standard.
- Michele (8/5): Quaint stay with wonderful staff and lovely surroundings. - Beautiful setting! Friendly staff and wonderful service in the pub and at breakfast. Loved the common areas and outdoor spaces. The rooms were somewhat dated, esp. the bathroom which was small and looked as if it was last remodeled in the early 90s.
- Iovepretty (10/5): Don't Miss the Chance to Stay at Rabbit Hill Inn! - Rabbit Hill Inn was the best B&B experience of my life! I've been to soooo many inns in New England and in America -- nothing compares to this one. Just know that you will receive excellent service from friendly staff who have real concern for your happiness and comfort. This is a serene place with a VERY romantic setting and luxurious accommodations (the Loft room is amazing +++ especially in autumn with the gorgeous foliage right in front of the bedroom window). They serve the best gourmet meals in both the restaurant and the pub. And although I went alone this time (my husband thought looking at leaves and antiques was 'boring'), Rabbit Hill was so awesome, I barely missed him.
- lauriekH2395EW (10/5): Great Escape. - Lovely getaway, you are met with joy, kindness and elegance. It is a charming Inn with excellent service and even better food! 24 Karats restaurant is absolutely wonderful and the daily breakfast is superb. The bed was comfy and the place was quiet. Loved it.
- mark (8/5): Love the staff and the food offerings - Love the location in Vermont. Love the staff, esp Kelly the guest manager. Love the breakfast staff. Love the s’mores kit and firepit I felt like it was a bit on the too pricey side
- Lisa (10/5): Wonderful Inn, delicious breakfast - The staff were outstanding, the room very clean and cozy and delicious food. It was a very enjoyable stay. Nothing.
- Alan (8/5): - Inn Keeper the best Nothing
- flowermound413 (6/5): First Time and Last Time - My husband and I stayed at the RHI for three nights based on the recommendations of some friends who happen to be previously innkeepers of another Select Registry Inn. They were no doubt familiar with the previous owners of the RHI, not the new owners, who we never saw. We have stayed at many Select Registry Inns, including one just three days prior to our stay at the RHI. We were not impressed with the RHI. Our room, the Music room, was spacious but tired. The wood floors had many loose boards when you walked on them, and there was no way to be quiet. Also, the fireplace looks pretty, but it gives off no heat at all. Someone else mentioned in a review that the stairs going to the above floors were steep and the bannister near the top was pretty useless. We totally agree. Anyone with mobility issues would find the stairs a challenge. The Inn needs more staff and more smiling faces. One of the few servers did not know how to pronounce items on the restaurant menu. They ran out of the special just a short time after the restaurant opened. We waited a long time for food. Breakfast was fine, but all in all, the Rabbit Hill Inn did not warrant the expensive rate. This Inn was the most expensive we stayed at in New England, and our stays at other inns were far more enjoyable and worth the price. We will not return. There are far better options in New England.
- catnjim1 (4/5): Disappointed - My husband and I have visited Vermont every year during fall foliage for the past 30 years. We have stayed in Northern Vermont, Central Vermont, and Southern Vermont-Always in an Inn or Bed and Breakfast. We love the intimate atmosphere and experiences that a small establishment typically offers. So this year, I booked the Rabbit Hill Inn for two nights in the Samuel Hodby Luxury room during the beautiful Fall Foliage season this year. I have been following RHI on Instagram for quite some time and was excited to see they had a luxury room available back in August for a two night stay in October. This was a late add on to our Vermont road trip as I made a Manchester reservation that was booked last November. Keep in mind, you have to reserve your stay early for Fall Foliage Season. I was so excited! I always say the journey is just as exciting as the final destination. My husband and I were prepared for the 7+ hour journey and I was filled with excitement and anticipation to finally get to RHI. After all, they advertise and boast “they are the #4 Top Resort in New England” The pictures on their website are gorgeous and the reviews are amazing. So to say I was shocked at our “luxury room” well, that brought me to TripAdvisor once I received a follow up email from RHI asking for a review of our stay. I must say the Inn itself is lovely, charming and everything you would expect from a Vermont Inn. The staff couldn’t be nicer too. Please keep in mind that the cost of our “luxury room” was $659 a night so with tax and a $40 Historic Preservation Fee, our grand total for 2 nights came to $1,476.62. After our stay, my husband researched and found the RHI does not advertise any Historic Preservation fee. Therefore this fee was a surprise to us. I think anyone considering reserving the Samuel Hodby room should be warned ahead of time. I wish someone would have posted something on TripAdvisor for me to see. If they did, I probably wouldn’t have booked it. So I hope I’m saving someone the disappointment we felt after checking in. I think the easiest way to put into words how we felt we were duped and taken advantage of is best put into a pros and cons list: Pros: The room was very clean The Inn is absolutely adorable The staff was very friendly The restaurant and pub served delicious meals Easy to use gas fireplace in the room Nice location to visit NH Cons: The bathroom to this “luxury room” is straight out of the 80s. The toilet is about 13 inches from the floor. I kid you not-I thought it was a children’s toilet as found in a preschool. The shower is a pre fab plastic fitted shower-not tiled. The jacuzzi tub is up a step on a platform under a makeshift wooden canopy fixture. The color is a bright blue robins egg color. No wonder they don’t post a picture of this bathroom on their website! I say do a complete renovation on this bathroom -rip out the tub-put in a two person steam shower. They have the space-make it into a spa bathroom retreat! Housekeeping: well we didn’t have any. In their words on their memo: “As an earth-conscious Inn, we offer fresh towels daily upon request and a full housekeeping service every 2nd day of your stay.” I’m not sure how being an earth-conscious inn means housekeeping can’t clean out your waste baskets or make your bed. So on my vacation, I made our bed and tidied our room before going out. An envelope was left in our room so we could leave a tip for housekeeping. Are you serious? That’s insulting! Breakfast was included during our stay and it was delicious. Kudos to the chef! But before we left, I had to sign a receipt confirming our room and if I would like to add a tip. I’ve never experienced that before. I don’t feel that is in good taste at all Afternoon Tea is available and served in beautiful china. No pastries or cookies to go with teatime but they did have one sweet selection-a tiny lemon square one afternoon and a chocolate/cheesecake square the second afternoon. They were the size of a sugar cube. Another woman I met during my teatime couldn’t believe what they put out either. Will we be returning to Rabbit Hill Inn? That’s a firm NO. Will we recommend Rabbit Hill Inn to friends and family? Nope. I feel the cost of the room did not meet the services offered. Boy were we disappointed!

- Michael (10/5): Historically significant and lovely. You’ll feel pampered. - Wonderful. The staff and owners are very proud of what they have and it shows. As soon as you arrive they take you on a short tour and give a brief history of the inn. Spaces were impeccable. Many outdoor and indoor places to get away if you needed to. Great breakfast. It’s part of the charm but… the stairs. A little tough on my knees but thats a personal issue.
- Roam396074 (10/5): Fabulous fall get away at the perfect place. - We loved this Inn. Rabbit is charming, historic , warm and inviting. The staff was great and did everything possible to make our stay the best. Breast and dinner were both delicious and creative yet familiar. The helped us with additional side trip to Willoughby Lake which was fantastic and a great morning side trip for us. Can’t wait until next time.
- Satyaki (10/5): -
- Ilkka (10/5): I would recommend this place to anyone for its quality. - The food is five stars - from breakfast to dinner, all of it is exceptionally made, fresh, and just the right amount. Our room was spotless, comfortable bed. There wasn't a single thing negative to say.
- Lori (10/5): -
- Wayne (8/5): Excellent time - Old fashioned charm Lack of nearby walking trails
- kathrynkF7592RL (10/5): A delightful visit! - We have been going to RHI since 1999. With the recent transition to new owners it has gone through some growing pains, but we feel during our recent visit that things are coming together as RHI creates a solid team of talented, attentive people who really care about maintaining the charm of the inn. The food is excellent and we especially enjoy doing the Stave wooden jigsaw puzzles.
- Roam37087127329 (8/5): Return trip to Rabbit Hill Inn - The inn and location were wonderful. Our room was beautiful as well as comfortable. We had stayed there years ago when it was under different ownership. If you had been there earlier also, don't expect the same level of attention to detail, but overall, it was still a wonderful place to stay.
- Kat43 (10/5): Lovely romantic stay! - Lovely Inn. We stayed in the Turnabout Room which is ADA and it definitely met my needs. Dinners were excellent. Staff was enthusiastic and accommodated our needs and desires.
- Lori (10/5): Fabulous getaway in the beautiful green mountains of Vermont! - This bed and breakfast is absolutely wonderful. The staff, the beautiful rooms, food, amenities made our trip great. Highly recommend you make a trip here and spend a few days!
- Z787WAamandas (10/5): Beautiful & peaceful - A peaceful and beautiful Inn. The staff were extremely friendly & attentive, great food (especially breakfast!!) Will definitely stay here again.
- Rebecca (8/5): -
- Francesca_81 (10/5): - Struttura molto bella e pulita. Staff super gentile e colazione ottima
- Bankguy1961 (10/5): Nice. Really nice - We are in the Sterling Room now. Modern. Very nice. Here on our motorcycle. Parking is great. Restaurant is closed but the Pub was very nice. Reasonable menu. We aren’t hungry. Just noted that there is not a TV in the room. Thank you for that!! We like it here. Recommended.
- norahl2022 (10/5): Quaint, cozy, - The management, staff, restaurant, pub, all excellent. The room mechanicals were a little noisy but nothing that kept us up. Just want to let travelers know it's not near ANYTHING. We knew and wanted a quiet weekend, but is quite a ride to go anywhere.
- Dominique (10/5): -
- Ian (10/5): I will stay again - Breakfast was perfect ! Everything was lovely
- Noah (10/5): -
- Paige (10/5): - Was on our bucket list and glad we finally made the reservation. Loved this B&B for a romantic getaway. Well maintained property with historic appeal. Welcoming staff on arrival - felt personal and inviting. The Hampshire room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Old English vibe. Dinner and the complimentary breakfast were delicious. Enjoyed walking around the property and playing some of the outdoor games. Definitely will be back.
- lhgc999999999 (10/5): Friendly and welcoming - This is a quintessential New England Inn! The staff is very friendly and helpful, and spent time to orient us and answer questions about the area. Our room was quite cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and quite generous. Highly recommend this inn for visitors to Vermont’s Northern Kingdom!
- 243lauries (10/5): Great service and facilities, clean as a whistle - We *really* enjoyed your stay at the Rabbit Hill Inn! The room (Cedar Glen) was charming, spacious and spotless. The bar was quaint and well-stocked and breakfasts and dinners were wonderful. Special shout-out to Courtney who went over and above by sending a pair of pants that we inadvertently left behind.
- racroce (8/5): Enjoyed our stay, but not as much as we did in 2022. - Here’s my honest assessment. The Rabbit Hill Inn is an excellent New England BnB experience. It’s just not what it once was when it achieved national and international acclaim as an elite country inn. This was our second trip here, and we had no complaints. However, it just wasn’t the elite experience we had in 2022 under the previous owners. For owners Leslie and Brian Mulcahy, Rabbit Hill was a labor of love, and it showed in the remarkable level of customer service and small special touches that won them countless awards for excellence. I don’t think it was possible to replace a Leslie, who always made you feel like a beloved visiting member of the family. Today’s Rabbit Hill Inn remains quaint and lovely, but the old magic just isn’t there now that it’s owned by a group that I’ve learned owns several New England Inns. Whereas the Mulcahys probably never worried about profit margins, it’s now run more like a real business. The Inn and its grounds are as lovely as ever, and we enjoyed our stay in the spacious Hodby Suite. The Inn’s restaurant remains an excellent fine dining experience. However, IMO, RHI is understaffed and that is the biggest thing that is keeping it from returning to its glory days. During our 2022 visit, there were so more personal touches from the team here. The current staff is professional and very hospitable; there’s just not enough of them.
- pigeononaroof (10/5): Very high quality stay! - Everything was as perfect as it could be, especially for a low price with a LOT of value! “Quality” is the key word at this inn; the staff is so attentive it’s like having your own butler service, and the high standards for the food, cleanliness, and beautiful grounds is evident immediately. I, personally, found the decor so charming (especially the bunny details!) and didn’t find it dated in any ways that actually matter: the bathroom appliances were great, the AC worked well on hot nights, the bed was big and comfy, and the food was modern and delicious. The “dated” parts just gave it more character. I can’t say enough good about the staff. From the waiters to innkeepers to housekeepers, every staff member gave off the vibe that they couldn’t be happier to be there! They were the highlight of the whole experience. Special shout out to Courtney, Aimee, Katie, Eilish, and the housekeeping staff. Overall, would highly recommend this gem to anyone who appreciates high quality and a touch of luxury at a cozy inn that feels like coming home! Nearby restaurant recommendations, besides the excellent dining room at the inn: The Buttery, Sour’s Taverna, Wandering Vine, Hilltopper, Rek-Lis Brewing Company, Farm to Fire Pizza, Shilling Brewery, Mill St Kitchen, Inkwell Coffee, Super Secret Ice Cream Not a criticism, but perhaps a missed opportunity: I was surprised to realize it was an adults-only inn at the end of my stay. I’m childless myself and really appreciate kid-free places, but it seemed like an odd fit here; I can only imagine how much more lively and bustling the place would be with families, especially for the special events they host in the summer. I think it’s a tough sell to disallow children at a hotel that is more lived-in and charming than sophisticated and sexy. That said, it was a very quiet atmosphere so I guess they know what they’re doing ha!
- Julie (6/5): - Understaffed. One woman handling a dining room and the pub. The room was very musty smelling and the air conditioning wall unit noisy. You could see where it once had a luster that was not there anymore.
- Veronica (10/5): Vermont stay - Excellent! Breakfast was fantastic and the innkeeper assistant was phenomenal as was everyone that worked there! Some of the guests. They were slightly pretentious and rude. Not sure if was the age difference but it was all good since we did not need to interact and the staff was fantastic!
- 416garyn (10/5): A Beautiful New England B&B with Distinguished Provenance - What a find! Exceptional in all aspects of our weekend stay at Rabbit Hill Inn. The room was impeccable: it had no number but a name, Music Room, which was smartly appointed befitting its name. Dining was exquisite from ambience, presentation, quality of food and drink, and perfectly timed service all prepared and delivered by positively delightful staff. The innkeepers were professional, attentive and engaging. We loved the Stave puzzles. Indeed, we loved the entire experience. We will lodge, dine, and enjoy Rabbit Hill Inn again.
- Theresa (10/5): - Rabbit Hill Inn is a hidden gem. Quiet and cozy. Decor is exactly what you think of with a Vermont inn. Breakfast is upscale and delicious. Nice little pub for drinks and a bite to eat. Our bartender, Evilyn, was the nicest lady. Loved her! We adopted a stuffed bunny to remember our visit.
- Kelley (10/5): - We had an amazing stay. The inn was beautiful and clean. All of the interaction we had with the staff was amazing. The breakfast was also very good. We would definitely go back!
- lesleyt925 (10/5): Quirky room, perfect location, friendly staff and excellent food - Beautiful room, friendly staff and excellent food. Really loved our room - Music Room. Fire pit in the evening for smors was great. Just on the border to New Hampshire. Lots of recommendations where to visit by staff. Perfect. Lesley & Ted Turner UK
- subsequentgoose (10/5): Beautiful inn - Beautiful inn, nicely preserved. My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. The room was huge and well appointed. Wifi was good. I liked that there were options for breakfast. Breakfast was great. We would definitely stay again if we found ourselves in that area.
- darleenc2014 (6/5): No need to return - After hearing many wonderful accolades about Rabbit Hill Inn, we were surprised and disappointed at the unappealing decor that pervades throughout this historic place. Old dull fabrics, lots of paisley, no vibrancy from room to room. Bedroom much the same. High end coffee makers need to be added to each room. In the library there needs to be a Keurig K-cafe or Breville that the guest can make their own coffee. Many are early risers and you have to wait until 6:15 am for the coffee to be brought out. Staff is very nice, professional, and accommodating. Everyone was willing to be of service with a smile. Dining room could use linen table cloths to make it more upscale. Again, no attention was made to decor. The food was delicious and well seasoned. Homemade molasses bread was made from 100 year old recipe. We had a ‘to go’ breakfast as we left at 7:00 am and it was more than ample with an English muffin egg sandwich, juice…delightful.
- V5622KCrobertp (10/5): Relaxing weekend - What a wonderful experience! We were greeted by Victoria who gave us a fun, informative and lively tour! She also makes a great "old fashion"! Our room was our own perfect hideaway in the " Loft". We've had some experiences where either or both our bed and pillows were a dud...but not at the Rabbit! The bed and pillows were perfect...so comfortable we did want to leave our bed. We ate in the pub and the main dining room the food was delicious as were our drinks. Everyone we interacted with were genuinely friendly and thoughtful. Unfortunately, it was a nasty raining weekend so we didn't get to enjoy the back deck and a fire, so we'll have to go back!
- MCBNH (10/5): Excellent Historic Inn - The innkeepers were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in the Canopy room that has a gas fireplace. The room is on the second floor and has access to a nice porch for the warm afternoon. The breakfasts were very generous and delicious! We had a great meal in the restaurant — salmon for my husband and a pasta with an excellent wild mushroom sauce. Already thinking about returning!!
- BradJ666 (8/5): Exceptional food and service - First the positives: the food was exceptional. Walked away from breakfast every morning very happy with great portions and delicious meals. Dinner was just as good. Kudos to Chef Connor - I had the best pork chop of my life on my second evening there. Shout out to the bartender in the pub, Phil, who made my wife the “best dark espresso martini of my life.” The service here was also exceptional. Between Assistant Innkeepers Victoria and Courtney and Food and Beverage Manager Kristen, every one of our requests was met with a can-do attitude, an eager-to-please smile and a happy-to-be-of-service response. I felt comfortable asking for something (which I don’t always feel - some places make me feel like I’m imposing on a staff member). Well done! In terms of the accommodations, however, I think they fell short of luxurious. Our second floor room was well decorated, the bed comfortable, but the bathroom was dated and small. More importantly, there was no way to control the room temperature, short of opening the windows, which lead to a LOT of street noise in the early morning. As a result, neither my wife nor I really enjoyed a solid night sleep during our 3 night stay. Still, we will be back, but hopefully we will get a room that has better temperature control.
- S2609YTjills (10/5): Fabulous - The attention to every detail was exceptional. The 2 assistant innkeepers were charming and saw to our every need but were never intrusive. It was a wonderful 24 hours that refreshed like a long weekend away. The food and service at dinner, breakfast, and afternoon tea were wonderful.
- dalebD9787ML (10/5): Enjoying one of the best Inns in Vermont - A true Inn with history. Wide planked pine floors in the main building that creak with history. The bar area is a little small but there is a patio area to enjoy on the nicer days. Great food and great staff!!! We had a server issue and the staff made it right above expectations without us having to be rude about the experience, not that we are, but being in the hotel business there are times when you do come across those who expect only beyond the best to get a deal on price or free offers. We plan on returning sometime this summer or fall for another stay but we live close enough to enjoy a well prepared meal.
- Darcy (8/5): - Kudos to Rabbit Hill for their outstanding staff. The inn managers, servers and bartenders are exceptional and made us feel very welcome. Housekeeping did a fabulous job with the room. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, kid free, pet free, clean and charming inn. We were there off-season, and we loved it. We especially enjoyed the Snooty Fox Pub and 24 Carrot restaurant, which has a gorgeous fireplace! Special recognition to Sydney, Philip Courtney and Victoria. We had a memorable stay and hope to return next year.
- Sharon (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was superb! The restaurant was lovely and the common space was so warm and inviting. Loved the "rabbit" touches throughout the inn. The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable and had a lovely sauna tub and a fireplace. However, the decor was not great - it was too kitschy - decorated with fish on the wall, and other outdoor/fishing memorabilia that took away from a romantic inn setting.
- 408DianeR (8/5): A lovely inn but a poor choice for us. - Because my husband has difficulty walking, we needed a room on the first floor. I told the reservationist that he can't climb stairs and needed a king sized bed. She said that meant a luxury room and it was only available the week before our anniversary, not the weekend of. We took it, had been there 30 years earlier and had a wonderful time. Well, my heart sank when we arrived and saw the treacherous, for my husband, two staircases we had to climb to get into the hotel. He managed but it was a struggle for him. I guess our room was a luxury room because of the two person jacuzzi tub that, of course, was not available for us. Otherwise, it looked like the "western room" at the inn. Also frustrating was the tiny bathroom with a low toilet and a very small shower. My husband used the bathroom in the hall which was large with a high toilet. We paid top dollar for a disappointing room which we used only to sleep. On the positive side, my husband finished a Stave puzzle and the staff of young women were terrific and I finished a book and did some knitting. Victoria, the young woman in charge, led us to a ramp and walk to our car which my husband could navigate. She also carried our luggage to the car. It is a lovely old inn and well maintained. The breakfasts were delicious. It just turned out to be a poor choice for us.
- thomasmV13VW (10/5): Close to Perfection - My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful overnight in the quaint and very historic Loft Room that also included dinner at 24 Carat. Everything was very close to perfect but I’ll offer the following comments as minor tweaks that could equal perfection: 1). Please don’t put out Coffee Mate creamers for the early coffee. They likely cost more than a bit of half n’ half in a pitcher and scream Hampton Inn or worse. Nobody staying at an inn of this quality should have to use fake creamer in their coffee or tea. 2). The motion-sensing nightlight in the Loft Room is positioned so just moving my legs in bed made it come on. I wanted to unplug it but needed the light to safely get to and from the bathroom. I finally decided to unplug it from the wall to sleep withoutbfurthervinterruption. 3). The bathroom’s hand-held shower was too high for my height-challenged wife to adjust. Though I could reach it, I found that even on the ‘gentle’ spray, its needle-like output was not pleasant. A small upgrade to a shower head with more spray options and intensity adjustment would be very appreciated by future guests. Again, these suggestions represent very minor ‘flaws’ and, overall, the inn was very close to a 10 out of 10 as a country B&B. 24 Carat Review: The dinner was very good; an 8 out of 10. My wife loved her parmesan soup and my caesar was good though needed more garlic and some freshly ground pepper. I also prefer shaved parmesan over finely grated but at least the romaine lettuce was not slathered in a bottled caesar dressing. My wife’s lobster carbonara was very ordinary; served less than hot and with clumpy pasta. She thought the flavor was lacking too and she added a squeeze of fresh lemon in an attempt to brighten the taste. My thick-cut pork chop was cooked perfectly and the mushroom risotto was the perfect accompaniment and very tasty. I did think the plate needed a green vegetable to be complete. Also, we were surprised to learn that dessert was not included in our dinner package which seemed a bit nickel and dime considering what was saved in the difference between the highest priced entrees we could’ve ordered and what we actually chose. In our world, a dinner includes an appetizer, entree and dessert. Service was attentive and pleasant and the ambiance of a table by the fireplace in a dimly-lit, intimate, colonial-style room on a snowy evening was perfect.
- Christopher (10/5): Relaxing long weekend - Our visit was excellent. The staff was on top of everything (sorry, I'm not good with names, so this is lacking personal shout outs).The room and remainder of the common areas were exceptionally clean. There were numerous antiques throughout, consistent with the age of the property. The room was spacious, jacuzzi tub was relaxing, and the fireplace within the room added to the ambiance. Dining and drinks were amazing, including dinner as well as the pub fare. If you have time, try one of the many Stave puzzles, they're quite the challenge! If you're looking for a low key, get away from it all location, you've found the perfect spot. I know we will be returning as often as we can.
- Freedom672978 (10/5): A Time to Recharge in a Charmimg Country Inn - Wonderfully quiet and relaxing time to ge away for a time together. The inn is charmingly furnished and provides lots of gathering/reading/and game spaces. The Carrot Restaurant included breakfasts a optional dinners are exquisitely prepared.
- JRPNewhampshire (10/5): Perfect Winter Get Away - Immaculate historic property. Suite was comfortable, well laid out. Gas fireplaces were great. Breakfasts were delightful. Staff was superb- truly friendly and helpful. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing couples break. We will be back next winter!
- debsob21 (10/5): Thank you for our first visit. - This was our first time at the Inn. We had a lovely stay. The room was clean and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the fire in our room and in the main gathering room. The breakfast was delicious and the inkeeper and assistant inkeeper were very nice. Thank you.
- Keith (10/5): - Exceptional.
- nicolas396 (10/5): A charming historic inn in a lovely setting, complete with a fabulous staff and wonderful restaurant - This is a gorgeous inn in a beautiful, quiet location.The rooms are unique, extremely comfortable and attractively decorated. It is a pleasure to see the care and attention that has been put into the restoration of this beautiful historic home. Many books, games and puzzles are available throughout the inn. Snowshoeing is possible just out the front door and other winter activities are not far away. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and fine dining for dinner and breakfast complete the picture for a relaxing visit to Lower Waterford, VT.
- Compass38024541592 (10/5): Lovely place. - This is such a beautiful place to stay. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here. The decor is lovely, all of the staff were very pleasant and attentive. Our room was so pretty and felt cozy, even though it was not a small room. The restaurant was very nice, and the food was delicious! We would definitely recommend!
- Marjorie (7/5): If you want more than a motel room you might book direct. - Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Some great staff. Expected amazing but got a motel room not even attached. Fine print said to ask for coffee service in the room. If I hadn’t perused the site…. Although available 6:30 in main house. Wasn’t allowed to upgrade although this seems to be a BOOKING.com Issue and I did try but communications weren’t received. I wish I could figure out what went wrong. I think booking.com doesn’t allow upgrade once a booking is completed.
- NorthStar36506717496 (10/5): A Bed and Breakfast NOT to be missed! - What a delightful 24 hours! I knew when we entered our room, The Taverns Secret, and were greeted by soft, soothing music and the magical mesmerizing flames dancing in the fireplace that Rabbit Hill Inn is a special place! We woke up to softly falling snow and a delicious 3 course breakfast with housemate baked goods and granola and french omelettes, And, how lucky am I that I got to experience two of your signature amenities; that glorious hot tub and the afternoon sweet treats for tea time, not once, but TWICE!! Highly Recommend.
- christophermA7309ZG (10/5): Vermont get away - Beautiful place, great food and the friendliest people. The room was wonderful and very roomy. The fireplace and jet tub was a great touch. The location of the Inn was perfectly located in the middle of all our destinations. We will be back for sure.
- edsQ8117GS (10/5): Highly recommend! - Best B&B stay ever! Highly recommend. Clean, spacious, good food, fantastic staff. We had no issue during our stay. Staff was always attentive to our needs and provided recommendations for things to do nearby. We enjoyed every minute and will definitely come back.
- karenmB5886BL (6/5): Disappointed - My husband and I decided to return to RHI after a 6 year hiatus . We previously stayed there on 15 other occasions and had always been blown away by the exceptional accommodations, food, device and friendliness of both the staff and previous inn keepers Brian and Leslie. Much to our dismay things were not the same. From the time we checked in and no one offered to help with our luggage to the misleading info on the website stating dinner reservation could be made for the pub for lighter fare ( we were told the menu was the same as the main restaurant and no apology was made or offer to rectify) to the lack of their signature turndown service it was a disappointment. The coup de Gras for us was the expectation of a tip gor housekeeping with an envelope left in the room and the waitress bringing a blank bill portfolio at the included breakfast for an expected tip on an unknown amount! All gratuities had been previously included and I could find no where leading me to believe otherwise on the website. When we went to checkout not an employee was to be found!!! The new owners snd innkeeper will surely run this gem into the ground . We will not return .
