What guests think

At The Wildflower Inn, travelers consistently praise the scenic hilltop setting with sweeping mountain views and direct access to Kingdom Trails, while noting that some buildings and rooms show their age and could use maintenance.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, with occasional complaints about slow dinner service. Rooms are rustic and simple, some spacious, though several lack TVs, walls can be thin, and light from exterior areas can intrude at night. The on-site restaurant and pub earn many compliments for food and atmosphere, but breakfast is basic and a few guests reported undercooked or underseasoned dishes. Expect a scenic, low-key stay with friendly service and some rough edges.

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!

The bedroom/bathroom were clean and the pool/outside area was awesome. Building had maintenance issues like moldy/cloudy skylights & rotting areas from moisture damage on the outside. The worst was the food service at dinner though. It took an hour and a half to get our food even though we had reservations. The food was not seasoned well (with the exception of the artichoke dip). Honestly it was a very disappointing stay.

This Inn and its annex buildings stand along a dirt road amongst beautiful meadows with mountain vistas. We loved the views, the perfect quiet at night, the amenities (pool with a view, trails, racquet courts…) and the friendly staff. Our shower (room 602) had no hot water. There was no offer of a price reduction (hence the 4 star, not 5). We only stayed one night so we don’t know if it was resolved. We would nevertheless consider coming back.

Small country style Inn. Staff are pleasant and welcoming with genuine smile. Free continental breakfast was clean and sufficient. The view was amazing!!! Perfect place to stay for non-motorized bikers as it is located right on kingdoms trail.

Cleanliness

Feedback is mixed: some note clean rooms, but others mention cobwebs, musty odors, and visible wear or moisture damage. One review cites housekeeping only every three days leading to dirtier floors.

Visited for a family "micro" wedding. Service was superb!!! And the natural surroundings, heavenly. KTA trails ON the property!!! The restaurant, snack bar and bar - excellent! New owners are working hard to bring this property back to life. Not all accommodations have been done and so not in great condition. With housekeeping only every 3 days, in a muddy sandy haven, the room became unavoidably very dirty. For these reasons, The Wildflower felt somewhat overpriced.BUT, with each repair and upgrade, this gem is getting better and better. I know we\'ll be back!

The place is adorable. The scenery is beautiful. Our room was very nice and clean. The staff was lovely. You can tell they are working on the grounds and some buildings. The bed was very comfortable. My complaint, we stayed in #306. The room had sheers and pull down blinds. 2 of the windows faced a patio area. There were liggts on all niggt. The blinds did not help to keep out the light. I hardly slept because there was so much light. We tried their restaurant. Our server was lovely and very sweet. Our service was wonderful.Our appetizer and drinks were great. My husband and I both ordered well done burgers. His was fine, mine was still raw inside. I sent it bback. It came back on a different bun, tons of mayo on it and still raw. I sent it back and refused to pay for it. They did remove it from my bill. It took too long for us to receive our food so I didn't order anything else. It was a shame because it was a fresh, hand made patty. The presentation was great, but, it was raw inside. In the restaurant's defense, they were very busy. It's a great place, I'd give them another chance if I came back to the area.

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.

Inn located in a very nice area on top of a hill overlooking a valley. Very picturesque setting. Enjoyed the continental breakfast. The only thing that I missed was that the room we received did not have a television. Not sure if this is the case for other rooms at the inn. Minor inconvenience since I have DirecTV so I could watch on my laptop.

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!

The Wildflower Inn was a gem nestled in the mountains of Vermont. I stayed here with my son for a ski race at Burke mountain. We were able to eat dinner with his team at the Inn restaurant. The food and service was excellent. The staff at the Inn even made sure to have breakfast out for the skiers since they had to leave early for their race. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. It was also a beautiful, iconic Vermont location. I highly recommend The Wildflower Inn!

We are from Houston & stayed overnight after visiting a friend in St. Johnsbury. We arrived a bit late but per our earlier phone call to the Inn, our key and and other instructions were left for us in a basket by the door. We knew there were no TVs in the room, but wifi was great and who needs a TV anyway?! It was just freezing cold in Vermont last week when we were there, but we woke up to snow everywhere and it was sooooo beautiful! The Inn had heat that was thankfully, not overwhelming, and plenty of towels which the 2 of us, for whatever reasons, needed! We were meeting friends for breakfast so missed out on the Inn's offerings. Overall, it was a lovely stay - reminded me of Gilmore Girls kindof place. Not at all fancy - lots of wood and old-fashioned comfyness. Just lovely. Thank you!
