The Most Instagrammable Spot in Vermont

If you're searching for that perfect blend of breathtaking beauty, peace, and postcard-worthy views, look no further than Heaven’s Bench at The Wildflower Inn. Tucked away in the heart of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, this hidden gem offers a panoramic experience like no other—and it’s quickly earning a reputation as the most Instagrammable spot in Vermont.

A View That Lives Up to Its Name

Heaven’s Bench sits atop Darling Hill, overlooking rolling green hills, winding trails, and some of the most dramatic sunsets the Green Mountain State has to offer. Whether you're visiting for the golden glow of summer, the technicolor foliage of fall, or a snowy winter sunrise, the view from Heaven’s Bench truly feels like a little slice of paradise.

The bench itself is simple—rustic wood set atop a grassy knoll—but the moment you sit down, you understand what makes this place special. It’s not just the view. It’s the feeling—of being above it all, of being grounded and uplifted at the same time. It’s peaceful. It’s photogenic. It’s unforgettable.

Why It’s Perfect for Your Feed

Heaven’s Bench isn’t just a beautiful spot—it’s a moment waiting to happen. Couples come here for proposals. Families gather to reflect and reconnect. Solo travelers pause to catch their breath and snap a photo that tells a deeper story.

And then there’s the lighting. Early morning mist, golden hour rays, and cotton candy skies all play across the open landscape like a natural filter. Whether you're a professional photographer or just armed with your phone, Heaven’s Bench offers the kind of scenery that stops the scroll.

Tips for Your Visit

How to Get There: Heaven’s Bench is located on the grounds of The Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville, Vermont. It’s accessible to guests of the inn and open to visitors who come to dine, bike, or explore the property.

When to Go: Sunset is a showstopper, but early mornings are equally magical. Fall foliage season is the most colorful time to visit, but summer wildflowers and snowy scenes make for stunning backdrops year-round.

Make a Day of It: Pair your visit with a Kingdom Trails bike ride, brunch on the patio, or a peaceful walk on the surrounding paths. Heaven’s Bench is a short walk from the inn, but it feels a world away.

More Than Just a Photo

While it may be Vermont’s most Instagrammable spot, Heaven’s Bench is so much more than a photo op. It’s a place for reflection, connection, and awe. Whether you're saying goodbye to a loved one, celebrating a new chapter, or just soaking in the moment, the view from here has a way of staying with you.

So next time you're in Vermont, don’t just take a picture. Take a breath. Take it all in.
