    The Rabbit Hill Inn is phenomenal. The moment we walk through the doors and hear the words "Welcome Home" we are able to leave our hectic lives behind. No tv, minimum cellphone coverage, makes it so worth while and so easy to leave it at the door! Brian and Leslie are fantastic along with their very professional and heart warming staff. The food is incredible, as if the chef is only cooking for you. Freshly prepared for each guest and never ceases to amaze us. We love it and look forward to our stay each year.

    Have been staying at the Rabbit Hill for years and usually are there for the pre Holiday season so a February visit was unexpected. As usual, the Rabbit Hill was exceptional. If you are looking for a great Vermont escape, this is one of them.

    First, the innkeepers were present and anticipated needs with warmth and feeling. There was also timely inquiry as to anything we might need,before we asked. We chose not to dine there in the evening,but the breakfasts were great.

    I booked this trip for my longtime girlfriend as a Christmas Present. I read all the reviews and knew this would be a nice trip, but I never thought it would be as AMAZING as it actually was. We stayed in The Nest and the room was SOOOO UNBELIEVABLE. It was ridiculously romantic, super clean, sexy, classy, beautiful, and pretty much any other positive quality you would want in a room. I have stayed in nice rooms before but never a place where the staff thinks and prepares EVERY last little detail. The actual Inn is just as amazing as the room. Its historical ambiance goes hand in hand with the romance and intimacy of the Inn. Its super clean with plenty of public space, including a large variety of activities to keep you busy, including books, magazines, newspapers, puzzles, board games, and the best of all...the other guests, who are usually sitting somewhere in the public areas ready for quaint conversation over a delicious cup of tea, coffee, a beer or any other drink and small snack you prefer. The Inn is perfectly placed in Lower Waterford, which has managed to maintain the perfect idea of a historical New England Town. So wonderful, peaceful, clean, and just flat out amazing, Lower Waterford and the Rabbit Hill Inn are a perfect match. The staff is so attentive, courteous, polite, welcoming, and authentic you have no choice but to feel right at home the moment you walk into the Inn. Paying attention to EVERY LITTLE DETAIL you don't have to worry about a thing during your time at the Inn. At times it seems so amazing that they know exactly what your thinking before your even thinking it...I don't know how the Inn Keepers managed to find such an amazing staff but I cannot imagine a better combination of staff members put together in one place. I will make the review on the food quick...ITS AMAZING!!!!! Trust me, I love to eat!


    We were planning our return with hours of arriving!

    The rooms are spotless and contain all the amenities one could want. The owners and staff are attentive and their attention to detail is superb. You'll want for nothing. The restaurant offers outstanding fare and I suggest you book for dinner every night you're there. There seems to be something new and exciting every meal. The Pub is a wonderful place to gather at the end of the day to reflect on your adventures and plan tomorrow's. Brian, Leslie, Don and the staff are fantastic hosts...you'll not be disappointed when you stay here.
