the best pace is the one set by the world around us

Life moves fast—but here at The Wildflower Inn, we invite you to do the opposite. We believe in slowing down, stepping outside, and letting nature set the pace.

Tucked away in the heart of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, our property is a place where time stretches out and the air feels lighter.

Start your day with a gentle walk through our forested trails, where dappled sunlight filters through the trees and the rhythm of your footsteps is accompanied by birdsong and the soft whisper of the breeze. Whether you're an avid hiker or just in the mood for a mindful stroll, our trails encourage you to breathe deeply, take your time, and reconnect with the natural world.

After your walk, cool off with a peaceful swim in our saltwater pool—a guest favorite and a refreshing way to reset. The water is clean, clear, and kind to your skin, and the mountain views from your poolside perch are hard to beat. Prefer to stay dry? Grab a good book, sip on a cold drink, and let the serenity of the setting sink in.

Looking for a little light-hearted fun? Head to the lawn for a game of corn hole or simply kick off your shoes and feel the grass between your toes. These small, simple moments—shared laughs, a little competition, fresh mountain air—are the kinds of memories that linger long after your stay.

No visit is complete without a quiet wander up to Heaven’s Bench. It’s a short walk, but the reward is immeasurable. From this peaceful perch, you’ll take in one of the most spectacular views in Vermont—rolling green hills, patchwork farmland, and a sky that feels just a little bit bigger. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, conversation, or simply sitting still and soaking in the beauty.

If your spirit is calling for a bit more adventure, take a scenic drive to nearby Lake Willoughby, one of Vermont’s most stunning glacial lakes. Known for its crystal-clear water and dramatic mountain backdrop, it's a magical place to swim, paddle, or simply admire the view. The water may be cool, but on a warm summer day, it’s nothing short of exhilarating.

At The Wildflower Inn, there’s no need to rush. Whether you spend your time exploring trails, lounging poolside, playing lawn games, or diving into a mountain lake, you’re invited to move at the speed of nature. Because here, the most meaningful moments are the ones you never had to hurry to find.
