Took my wife away for couple of days ,stayed in the turnabout room, with dedicated parking spot, the staff was amazing starting with Rebecca assistant inn keeper who showed us our room and explained everything, next it was dinner and Erica was our server and told us the menu and options, kris the bartender was very helpful selecting the beers for the evening, wil the inn keeper served us breakfast and told us the menu , he and the rest of the staff made our stay the most relaxing enjoyable stay. Thank again wil.

Simply the best B&B wonderfully managed by Leslie and Brian. They bring their spirit and warmth to the Inn everyday. The rooms are spotless. The bar and excellent restaurant make Rabbit Hill a very special place. Morning breakfast and evening meals are a delicious treat every day.

If you are expecting the Brian and Leslie experience you will be sorely disappointed. We booked the entire weekend to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were so looking forward to the ambience that we have come to know over the past 20 years. There was no disclosure that the Inn is under new ownership and management and the website still lists Brian and Leslie as the innkeepers. The minute we arrived we felt something was off. It went south from there. We did not feel welcome at all and clearly an older clientele and repeat customers will not be the priority. We tried to get answers to our questions and were met with defensiveness. The staff all seemed miserable. Our dinner reservations were at 7:15 and we were seated promptly but service was not up to par. We did not get our appetizers until 8:10. Hopefully this is a learning curve that can be overcome. Clearly customer service is not a priority for the new management and this was a very unpleasant experience.

One would think that your 70 years would have taught you manners as the way you treated my staff after a few cocktails was completely unacceptable. We are in the service industry and are not servants...you cannot speak however you like to people. We wish you the best in your future, but appreciate a more refined behavior at our establishment. Take care.

Lots of Transition at The Rabbit. No more owner Innkeepers. New regime seems to have no local connections as questions are referred to a QR Code App. Even the App is unhelpful. Not a match for many older and returning guests. Many will miss the former innkeepers, he the bartender, she the consummate host. Longtime chef gone too and a temporary chef and manager who avoids guest interaction entirely, are apparently on premises. Service Staff indifferent and seem disgruntled. Exception is new bartender Kris and Wil, the earnest young manager. Be great if this Property could return to its former genuine warmth and hospitality. Feels headed in the opposite direction. XC Trail maintenance has been abandoned which was disappointed as there is no alternative nearby. Guests will miss the local commitment and personal touch which was the magic of The Rabbit.

We are sorry that you feel the Inn is transitioning in the wrong direction and didn't offer the same warmth and hospitality. As with any transition, there are bound to be bumps. While I certainly am doing my best to limit those bumps, I apologize that you felt them. All I can ask is that you give us another chance to offer you our genuine hospitality and to thank you for your honest feedback. Wishing you well and hoping to see you again soon.

First time here, but won’t be the last. You are immediately made to feel at home and welcomed. Pastries and tea on arrival…not expected. Relaxing lounge and bar area. Wonderful evening menu. Room was extremely clean, with thoughtful extras such as chocolates and Elemis travel sizes in bathroom. Nothing to fault, impeccable on every level.

Perfectly appointed room, updated accommodations, luxurious amenities and a very friendly staff who make you feel like you matter. Massage by Amanda was wonderful. The dining—oh my! Fun to enjoy cocktails at the intimate Snooty Fox bar, play darts and get to know others staying at the Inn. Sad to see the previous owners departing, but happy to have met Brian and Leslie prior to their departure. Their warmth, attention to detail and love for this beautiful Inn are woven through every fabric of this home. Hopeful the new owners will continue to provide an amazing and personal experience.

This was our first time here and definitely not our last time back. This Inn was amazing! Myself (25f) and my partner (28m) could not have been happier. The staff (Leslie, Amanda, Becky, Ken, all of them!) are just so friendly and welcoming. The room was so cozy and clean and omg how can you forget about the food!! The service is great; you feel like part of the family while also feeling special and important. We of course did a Stave puzzle but we also ventured out to Littleton, NH for the day to check out the shops and eat dinner at the Schilling Beer Co. Highly recommend Jack and Fin for grilled cheese and cupcakes too! It was such a lovely trip and we can’t wait to come back!

Thank you, thank you for your glowing review (and great photos)! It was truly our pleasure to host you for an "amazing" Valentine's getaway. You touched upon all the things that make RHI so special - warm & welcoming hospitality, awesome & immaculate accommodations, brilliant service, fantastic cuisine, awesome activities nearby, fun common rooms with those crazy STAVE puzzles, And the BEST part is that you felt special, important, and like family. That makes our hearts smile. This has long been the cornerstone of the Rabbit Hill Inn experience. We are thrilled to hear that you are already planning to return. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Until then, stay well :) :)

Rabbit Hill Inn is a treasure to be found in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We have traveled extensively across the USA, and the comfort and value at the RHI are unmatched. We will return yearly and are even looking to go to R and R twice a year! What we love most: the rooms, the cozy touches around the Inn, the restaurant and Snooty Fox Pub and all the staff!
