Our daughters live in Boston and Upstate New York, so we were looking for an upscale family resort that had nice accommodations, good food, and plenty of things to do for their two children, both almost 3. After quite a bit of research, we discovered the Wildflower Inn that offered everything we wanted plus a fabulous location in upper Vermont with wonderful views.

We were all delighted with our 5 night stay at this Inn. Our suites were nicely furnished, spotless, and very comfortable. The kids had an outdoor playground for sunny days and an indoor one loaded with toys. They also loved going to the petting barn and seeing the friendly cow, miniature horse, donkey, rabbit, and sheep. We signed up for a wagon ride - very popular with everyone.

Huge expanses of lawn provided a place for us to play kickball with the kids and we took some walks to see more of the vista and views. Some of the families with teens hiked, biked, fished, played tennis, and swam in the large heated pool.

All the parents had a massage at the Stepping Stone Spa, within walking distance of the inn, which has an excellent staff. My husband and I babysat the grandkids, but the inn can provide babysitters on request.

True to its name, spring flowers were everywhere on the property including colorful flowering trees.

Breakfast which is included in room rates started with a cold buffet followed by a hot meal if desired. Lunch is not available (except during summer months), but we visited a local store and had sandwich fixings which we kept in the room refrigerators... perfect for picnics. Several nice diners and restaurants are also in nearby towns. (Our favorite was Miss Lyndonville Diner!) Dinner at the inn offers an extensive menu from burgers to seafood and steaks at very reasonable prices.

Accommodations range from single rooms with a small kitchenette to a two bedroom "house" with a full kitchen. Quite a few are suites with bedrooms and living rooms, all with small refrigerators and a microwave. My husband and I (the grandparents) stayed in the Schoolhouse Cottage, somewhat secluded from the rest of the Inn, which had a big porch and wonderful views across the valley.

We highly recommend the Wildflower Inn for families with children of all ages from tots to teens.

Since our daughter goes to school in the area we have stayed at the Wildflower numerous times over the last 18 months. It is by far the best place to stay in the area. They are very friendly and attentive, the rooms are always clean and spacious, and the food can't be beat. The breakfast alone is worth the stay. Close to great skiing at Burke (and not far from Jay Peak). Highly recommend.

Wow, what a great place. I found The Wildflower Inn on line and I am so glad that I did. I checked the reviews and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. I am a winter person and love Snow. Well, if you want a winter wonderland, this is the place. There were so many things I loved about this place. Ice skating at night with twinkly lights. Horse drawn sleigh ride with 2 beautiful and gentle horses Bell and Rosie. A huge hill to sled down and a fireplace in the main house to warm up by. The cookies in the afternoon make you feel like your staying in someone's home. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The first thing that was said to us when we arrived was "kids rule!" pretty cool! My children loved the playroom and enjoyed being able to take off there shoes and play. I couldn't get over how relaxed everything was. We made some friends and the children had kids to play with every day. We loved our house (yes, it's your own house) it was spacious and clean and had incredible views of the snowy gazebo in the distance. The owners of Inn were gracious and welcoming. I could go on, but I will just say we already made reservations for next year. We have found our winter wonderland and will be back again and again!

  • Liked — Felt like a home and not a hotel.

I spent an incredible, idyllic weekend at The Wildflower Inn with my two little boys, ages 6 and 4. They were kept busy the whole time in the outdoor pool, the hot tub, the game room, the barn, and just walking around the property. We were treated like Lords of the Manor, and the staff anticipated every need. You know those paintings of countryside landscapes drawn by Monet? Well, when I look back on that weekend, my image is that we were IN THE PAINTING...it is really that beautiful. My pictures from that weekend are in the family album collection forever! We'll be back, and we're bringing our friends!

We had a Wedding Weekend at the Wildflower Inn and it was absolutely amazing. The Inn is located in one of the most picturesque areas in the Northeast Kingdom, the O'Reilly family and the entire staff are welcoming, freindly, helpful and accomodating. We booked the entire Inn for the weekend with our family and friends who were attending the wedding. From the beautiful rooms, the Friday night BBQ, delicious breakfasts, tastey afternoon snacks to our wonderful wedding reception everything was top notch. Our expectations and the expectations of our guests were exceeded! We could go on and on about all the attention to details but our best review is to experience it yourself! Our guests ranged in age from 5 years old to 80 and everyone had a wonderful time!
