Juniper Hill Inn

We planned this trip months in advance to celebrate my husband's birthday. When we arrivved at the Inn we were greeted by the owners cute little dog and the staff. Everyone was VERY nice. Our room was clean, neat and beautifully decorated with plush robes and Sherry waiting for us. The grounds are beautiful and there are so many options for sitting and relaxing. We did that right away with magazines and books provided from their extensive collection. The best part of the grounds are the three minature pot belly pigs that come over with tails wagging! What a treat! DInner and Breakfast are AMAZING! The bar is great to for a drink at the end of the night and before dinner while sitting on the patio. I have been raving about this place since we got home and I would love to come back again! Spend some time here--you will not be disappointed.

The Inn wa very nice and comfortable. The food was excellant. Was a nice quiet get away.

Our accommodations were beyond our expectations and the food was outstanding. The Inn itself was like going back in time but with all the comforts of today. But the highlight of our stay was the innkeeper, Robert Dean. He makes all of his guests feel right at home. His mother, Doris, is also a delight. Staying at this Inn is like visiting friends and family and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I just returned from a two-night stay at the Juniper Hill Inn with my parents and sister. We all absolutely loved the inn and cannot wait to go back. The Innkeeper, Robert, was incredibly hospitable, helpful, and charming. The inn itself was gorgeous and very well appointed. April, our bartender at the inn's "Blue Bar," was very friendly and even arranged for us to be brought a complimentary cheese plate before dinner. April explained that she was the owner of the three pot-bellied pigs grazing the inn's premises (two of for whom a pig wedding is being planned - date TBD.) We were also able to meet the chef, Julian, who seemed very passionate about his job. We all agreed that the food was wonderful - for both dinner and breakfast. The cauliflower cheddar soup was a favorite! Windsor is a very small town but many activities are close by - including Simon Pierce, Harpoon Brewery, and shopping in Woodstock or Hanover. On our last day, we visited a very small local glass-blowing studio (recommended by Robert) where we were able to make four glass pieces to take home. I would definitely recommend Juniper Hill Inn to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with a little bit of history, great food, and luxurious amenities.

We were married at the Inn a couple of weeks ago and the whole event exceeded our every expectation. We had in mind an intimate gathering with our closest family and friends, 17 of us total. From our gorgeous guest room, room one, to the ceremony set in front of a roaring fireplace to cocktails in the great room and a private dinner in front of the fireplace in the dining room it all was a dream come true. A beautiful winter setting and luxurious but comfortable surroundings were a true delight.. For those that stayed the night the rooms were beautifully appointed, recently updated and most had working wood fireplaces! The breakfast each morning was delicious and plentiful and the days we spent curled up on the couch in the great room in front of the fire we will never forget. Thanks to Robert and him wonderful staff for creating memories we will carry with us for a lifetime.

We booked a last minute package that was an excellent deal. The price was great and the service, food and inn were more then we expected. We thoruoughly enjoyed the whole expericence and will definitley be back.

My husband and I recently spent a wonderful winter weekend at the Juniper Hill Inn. The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The room was large, comfortable, romantic and peaceful. The food was delicious and we were able to sit by ourselves or join in with others without feeling obligated to do either. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the summer months.

very comfortable feels like home the innkeeper makes everybody feel welcome. This is a very old historic mansion and is decorated beautifully throughout with antiques. I would highly recommend staying a few days.to enjoy the place

We spent two nights (Saturday/Sunday)recently at the Juniper Hill Inn. It is a beautiful old house on top of a hill with a wonderful view of the Conn.River. The rooms are lovely and each individually decorated. When we booked, the owner advised that there was a small group that would be checking out on Sunday - we said it was fine. We met members of the group our first night and thoroughly enjoyed them...However, after a full day's drive, we were advised that the dining room was "only open for the group" !! Pretty rude....Our options were an African restaurant in the town or drive 20miles to Woodstock - which we ended up doing. We were served breakfast both mornings, however were again advised that the dining room was not open for dinner...It was a great disappointment as the website states that dinner is served in the "historic" dining room from Th - Mon. The owner definitely should have advised us as we had looked forward to romantic dinners at the Inn - not a 40mile roundtrip drive each night !

Highly recommend the Juniper Hill Inn. It is beautifully decorated with antiques and interesting artifacts. It's a very large inn with plenty of space in the common rooms for guests to feel comfortable. The minute you walk in you feel right at home. All the fireplaces were lit. Cook to order breakfast was fantastic. They also offer gourmet dinner at your request, which was absolutely deeeelish. The property is well landscaped and the mountain views are spectacular. Robert and his staff were very friendly. Robert is definitely a people person and conversations with him could go on for hours if you let him. Only negative is that we couldn't stay longer.....Pat Urbanavage

The Juniper Hill Inn is located up a hill overlooking the Connecticut River valley. It is a dignified old house whose many parts have been restored and updated. The innkeeper, Robert, was very personable and made sure our stay was comfortable. The common areas are large with decorated with a blend of eclectic objects, old and new. We stayed in the Teddy Roosevelt room, which was beautifully furnished and newly renovated. We had one dinner at the Inn and it was excellent. The only drawback was the expense - partially our fault for choosing a high-demand date during leaf viewing season in Fall.

We spent two nights at this glorious inn. Robert and his staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The room was tastefully decorated and quiet. We felt "at home". The food was good though our only complaint is that it was not hot. Our soup was cool, our vegetables were cool, even our eggs in the morning were cool. Otherwise it was great. We'd go again!

Rooms are not the same as what is shown on the internet site. The staff was very nice, but a bit inexperienced. They seemed to fly by the seat of their pants. Breakfast was a disapppontment and dinner was mediocre and overpriced. We have been to many B&Bs, and some numerous times, but we probably will not be going back to Juniper Hill Inn.

We loved this place! Great rooms, lovely grounds, and the innkeeper is fantastic. One complaint: The breakfast service was way too slow. Everyone waited 20-40 minutes to eat. This needs to be restructured. Maybe continental buffet and a la carte breakfasts by request only. We needed to get going and were very surprised at this. In general, it is a wonderful property and we will return.

We stayed for a weekend in July during a record breaking heatwave - Robert was gracious and patient with us (and everyone) after a night of no sleep as he stayed up all night "manning the breakers" so the inn could maintain individual AC in each room. Despite the heat, it was lovely - cozy, traditional, country charm, with delicious and surprisingly gourmet and interesting food. We loved our breakfast both mornings and also had the lucky chance to sneak in a late supper one night and were not at all disappointed!

Ari, the innkeeper, was very particular about all the wrong things. For example, the inn was clean, but there was clutter around such as boxes, weed and feed, vacuums, microwave under the staircase, etc. Upon arrival, we weren't given details about the inn, breakfast times, or other typical details. We were approached about our actions (drinking beer outside of our room, for instance), in a very un-tactful and un-professional means that made us feel attacked. Our group booked the entire Inn, so it wasn't as if anyone was being disrespectful, destructive, or disturbing other guests. We felt like we weren't welcome in his precious home. Logistics were ignored, such as staff doing landscaping and coming and going during events where guests should be left alone. It is a beautiful property with a lot of potential, but is in need of better management and more customer focus. Also, having seen other B&Bs in the immediate area, it is not worth paying the premium price to stay here.

The most ingratiating element of our stay at Juniper Hill was the hospitality of Robert, Ryan, and Ari. It was not a place, it was an experience. It is living art that one immerses one's self in. J.C. Salloway

We had such a great time at the Inn. The entire Inn was absolutely gorgeous...the decorations, furniture, and art inside was incredibly detailed and beautiful. The landscaping and outdoor views were picturesque, colorful, and welcoming. We didn't want to leave!!! You MUST eat dinner at the Inn; the food is incredible. Robert and Ari (and their staff) took the time to not just welcome us or check us in and out...but it was as if they all got to know us in a short time and treated us like special friends the entire weekend. Everyone there was so kind and friendly and gave just enough attention to all of the guests (not in your face AT ALL....more like knowing exactly when to say hello, check in, ask if we needed anything). We got the feeling that they LOVED the Inn and loved their jobs. The pride they had in the Inn, as well as in Windsor and the community, was evident and added so much to the overall warmth and comfort of staying there. I will DEFINITELY be back to stay up there again!

We won a 2 night stay at the Inn as part of Harpoon Brewery's "Friends of Harpoon" BBQ festival prize package. What a treat!! The Inn is stunning, rooms are beautiful--beds are so comfortable. The grounds are picture perfect. Robert, Ari & the entire staff couldn't possibly be any nicer, more friendly or helpful. We felt like VIP's all weekend. We had dinner at the Inn on Friday night & it rivals any fine dining establishment here in Boston. Breakfast is exactly what we needed before hitting the BBQ festival each day. I've already sent friends your way & I am hoping to return in the fall/winter to take enjoy the foliage, fireplaces & to see what creative cuisine comes from the autumn harvest. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU...for one of the best weekends ever.

We really enjoyed our stay at Juniper Hill. Robert and Ari are excellent host and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Additionally, made excellent recommendations on activities and restaurants. The dining at Juniper Hill is excellent and would recommend to anyone even if you are not staying at the Inn. This is a wonderful place to get away from the hectic schedule!

I have nothing but the best things to say about Juniper Hill Inn and their entire staff. I was here with my girlfriend (now fiance) in February 2011 for a 5 day stay. There was not one thing that i would have changed. Room 1 is amazing, the grounds of the inn are so beautiful (even when snow covered), the collection of artwork and decorations around the inn are spectacular, and the food was outrageous. I have never seen a hotel/house/inn quite like Juniper Hill Inn. We will surely return here and i would recommend this place to anyone i meet. The entire trip was perfect and we thank Robert, Samantha, and the rest of the staff for making it that way. - Alex and Angela Bergen County, NJ

Great setting, it was the perfect getaway! The dinning was outstanding. My wife and I just returned from living in Paris for the last 36 months and we are custom to fine dinning. My rack of lamb, was one of the best every prepared. We will return again.

This is the third time we have stayed at the Juniper Hill Inn and it was by far the best. Each time we have tried a different room with this time being my favourite (room 7!). The staff is exceptionally kind and willing to go beyond expectation. Thank you especially to K who cheerfully took care of our every need! There are only two things that I would be aware off before you go. The first is that there is a gratuity added for breakfast (I'm sure this is communicated somewhere, I just wasn't aware of it) and the second is, the coffee is terrible. If you enjoy coffee plan on bringing your own or visiting the local coffee shop. We love Juniper Hill Inn and the owners/staff and highly recommend it!

Very quiet and relaxing place with unbelievable food!!!! Very friendly inn keeper and staff.

We spend a wonderful romantic night away from our children at the Windsor Inn. The hosts were a perfect combination of welcoming, helpful but not intrusive. Room was great, bed was more comfortable than our tempurpedic, and the breakfast was really yummy. We'd go back again in a heartbeat.

We have just returned from 2 days at Juniper hill. we had an amazing time and were made to feel so welcome. The Inn has a wonderful vibe and the team will do anything they can to assist you. The food was EXCELLENT, breakfast, lunch and especially christmas Day dinner.... exceptional. The room was quaint, fitted perfectly with the house and the bed was very comfy. We can't wait to go again !!

We stayed at Juniper Hill's Midtown Manhattan apartment. Location was awesome: great access to Hell's Kitchen, Times Square, Theater District and Central Park. Great value for the price we paid. For the same price as a standard hotel room, we had our own living room, dining room and kitchen. However, there were a few things that fell below our expectations: the shower leaked horribly, the room was dimly lit and the wireless internet never worked for us.

Spent one night there while visiting the St. Gaudens Nat'l Park. Enjoyed walking the grounds and the total experience. Dining room not open for dinner but had an excellent bfst. Must say Kay our evening guide and bfst server was most helpful and enlightening. Would recomend the Inn to anyone and will visit again if traveling in the area. Did not leave as early in the morning as planned as we just wanted to enjoy the location.

This is an excellent B&B nicely located at the top of a hill with beautiful views. We enjoyed the late afternoon sun on the terrace with a lovely glass of pinot grigio in a adirondack chairs. The service was great and we had a lovely dinner. Our room was very beautiful and we would have liked to stay longer.

The innkeepers, Robert and Ari, were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. The inn was a fascinating historic landmark. The breakfasts were excellent and the room was comfortable and tastefully decorated.

We couldn't have made a better decision than to entrust Robert and Ari with the planning of our wedding weekend. Every detail was memorable. We still have dreams about it!

This B&B is really exceptional. The attention to detail is impressive and dining at the Inn is highly recommended. We had a really fun and relaxing time at the Juniper Hill Inn.

This past August, we had a wonderful visit to the Juniper Hill Inn in Windsor, VT. The innkeepers, Robert and Ari were gracious hosts and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Robert gave us a fascinating rundown on the history of the inn. He told us about notable visitors, including two presidents each of whom wouldn't stay in the same room the other had stayed in. The main room on the first floor of the inn is full of old treasures. Throughout the inn, there are pictures, sculptures, and objets d'art that make you feel like you’re in an art lover’s paradise. In a parlor on the first floor, we found a great selection of books and games. We discovered a game called Bethumped by Words, which was so much fun that we bought our own copy when we got home. The lovely grounds include a fish pond and gardens with a wide variety of beautiful flowers that Ari takes great pride in. We loved our room, which had French doors onto a little balcony overlooking the patio and front gardens. The bed was quite comfortable and the chairs were perfect for relaxing and reading. Although August isn’t the time for a fire, the working fireplace was a nice touch and would be wonderful in fall and winter. Robert oversees the kitchen, which turns out creative and beautifully presented meals. The gourmet food is served in a lovely old dining room, where guests can chat comfortably or ignore each other according to their own preferences. We chose the former and particularly enjoyed talking with a young couple who were about to be married at the inn. The innkeepers pointed us to several places of interest in the area, including an old cemetery, a fascinating mill building, and a museum with many works by Maxfield Parrish. We’ve been to many inns. We would place Juniper Hill Inn at the top or our list. This was everything an inn experience should be.

We just got back from our first fall foliage trip of the Northeast and were so lucky to find this amazing B & B along our way. The home was old, but in excellent condition. The grounds were beautiful, the food amazing and the hospitality superb.

It was an exceptional weekend. Everything was above my expectations. The Inn owners did everything they could to make you feel at home, and are very friendly. Food was excellent. Looking forward to going back soon.

And be treated like aone too. your every whim and request will be granted by your host and staff. You can own and enjoy all the antiques and art work in the views from the windows and terrace are impressive.

Simple perfection. Every detail was wonderful. Our small room was a great value for the money. Spotless., Wonderful food. Great Hosts!

Juniper Hill lis luxurioys, welcoming and gorgwous! The owner/hosts, Robert and Ari give attention to every detail land guest - incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dinner is not to be missed - probably the best we have had in th eworld! A "must stay" for Vermont travelers.

Wonderful place with a terrific staff. Unusual decor, very interesting. In a few words, worth the price.

We had been traveling cross-country from Calif for 5 weeks. We were tired after days of sightseeing in Boston. Juniper Hill Inn was the perfect spot to relax and take day trip from.

Everything was wonderful. We'll be going back!

We stayed for one night - July 4, 2008, and as soon as we checked in and saw the exquisite and exceptional living room/check in area, we both looked at each other and said...we are not leaving!!!! We have stayed at 5 different Inns in Vermont over the last several months, and we are only making plans to go back to Juniper Hill Inn. Robert is amazing!!! I never felt so "at home" at an Inn before in my life. The artwork is amazing! They have exceptional taste! The food was incredible! We can't wait to go back!!!!

Robert Dean & the staff at JH Inn are fantastic. Robert was attentive to guests & details. From the coffee to the conversation everything mattered to Robert Dean. He wanted you to feel like JH Inn was your home and that is how we felt.

We held our intimate family wedding at the Juniper Hill Inn in June of 2008 and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed both the inn and the wedding event. The innkeepers, Robert and Ari, as well as their entire staff were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. Our rooms were spacious, charming, and cool (it was a very warm June weekend). The meals were superb and the dining room extremely comfortable. We were so pleased to stay here and experience the most special day of our lives at the Juniper Hill Inn. We highly recommend the Inn for a special event or for a simple, relaxing New England get-away!

My husband and I honeymooned here last June and decided we loved this inn and Robert & Avi (innkeepers), so much we plan to return each year (God willing as we are in our late 70s!) Peonies in our room, plus sherry, romantic CDs. What's not to like?

The inn was lovely, the hosts great, the food outstanding, the historic tour was awesome.

Beautiful scenery, grand home, sumptuous repast.

The breakfast was delightful...Robert was the perfect host! We will be back.

This inn is ideal for couples who want to get away to beautiful Vermont. A tast of history in a modern era.

Fantastic accomodations-interesting historic house. Innkeeper was a wealth of information about the inn and area. Delicious Breakfasts!

Robert, Ari, and their staff made us feel not only very welcome and very comfortable, but very special as well. We loved the view from our personal balcony. It was a truly memorable 29th anniversary! Though the local towns are small, there is plenty to do. The St. Gaudens and Maxwell Parrish museums are delightful, even for people who aren't usually "art museum people", and the Precision Museum is fascinating even for people who aren't usually "technology museum people". And of course there's the longest covered bridge in the continental US, and quite a few hiking trails as well. We didn't even have time for the Harpoon Brewery or the Path of Life Garden! But those give us a good excuse to go back, which we are looking forward to. The settings of all of these things, including the inn, are idyllic!

excellent cuisine, services,owners always, always very relaxing, a true event, totally positive

beautiful inn wonderful art great breakfast terrific hosts: Robert and Ari

the hosts were lovely. lovely room-master room 1.location great. very homely

From the time we stepped in the door, until we checked out, we felt welcome. We were encouraged to use all the public rooms and stroll the grounds. Ari and Robert are wonderful hosts!

Everything was perfect!!!!

We spent 3 days in November, 2007 at this terrific Inn-Service Staff and Dining experiences were top notch. Owners were well steeped in the history of this 1902 Inn, where 5 US Presidents have stayed on many occasions. President Wilson used this as the Summer Whitehouse. Just go and relax.

We stayed here for 2 nights in May 2007. The rooms and facilities exceeded our expectations. The breakfast well prepared and tasty. An excellent value for money. We will definitely go back if in the area.
