Rabbit Hill Inn
"Adults-only historic inn with soaking-tub-and-fireplace rooms, fine dining, and a 25-year loyal following in a postcard hamlet."
About The Hotel
From $250/night — one of New England’s most celebrated romantic inns. Rabbit Hill Inn is a 4.9 adults-only inn with soaking-tub-and-fireplace rooms, three-course breakfasts, a fine-dining restaurant, and a 25-year repeat-guest following. The inn earns a perfect 5.0 cleanliness score and exceptional ratings across rooms, service, and sleep quality. Best for couples and anniversaries wanting a quiet, all-in romantic escape with a soaking tub, fireplace, afternoon tea, and exceptional dining in a historic hamlet. The serene Connecticut River setting and White Mountain views create an intimate, adults-only retreat. However, it’s premium-priced (from $250), remote, and books far ahead—especially for foliage. Dining is mostly on-site; a car is essential.
What Guests Are Saying
“What a delightful inn! My wife and I spent a weekend at the Rabbit Hill and cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The site has been an inn since sometime in the late 1790s, and it is filled with historical charm. It is off the beaten path, yet close enough to activities. Our room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated. We had all the privacy we wanted while being only steps away from the Inn. We ate dinner at the restaurant, and it was superb. The included breakfast was well beyond the typical fare. Delicious food at every meal. Best of all was the staff. Such a friendly, welcoming group. They spent time with us outside of their duties, making us feel like we were at a home away from home.” — Prem P., 5 stars
“What a wonderful stay we had here! We have stayed in many B&Bs in New England over the years and this one is at the top. From the immaculate rooms to the delicious 3 course breakfasts, this place is amazing. The staff was so accommodating and always available if you needed anything. Alyssa is a gem who went out of her way to make our stay an excellent experience. We are already planning to return later in the year. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all and relax, this inn is the perfect retreat!” — sheilamk87, 5 stars
“Spectacular room with soaking tub, books, relaxing music, board games, WiFi. Quiet but friendly atmosphere. A quaint inn with relaxing vibes. Close to New Hampshire and Canada. Worth the going rate which includes enough country breakfast to satisfy you for the day.” — karen1262, 5 stars

What guests are saying about Rabbit Hill Inn.
"Incredibly cozy inn!! We stayed here for our babymoon and we had an absolutely amazing time! Everyone at the inn was super duper helpful. They even went and bought us a microwave to ensure that we could heat up food in our room (thanks Alyssa)!! We had a room with an in unit Jacuzzi which my wife soaked in all three nights. The breakfast food was incredible. The 24carrot fine dining place also had delicious food! Will absolutely be coming back to this slice of heaven."

There is not a single Television on the site. The Stave puzzles are a very cool touch. We will definitely be back. We went there for three nights for an anniversary get away. This place is a must visit."

Breakfast was delicious as well and both were generous portions. You will not walk away hungry. We enjoyed the afternoon tea and putting together one of the wooden puzzles in the common area. We explored the area and visited places in St Johnsbury, which isn’t too far. The innkeeper is very knowledgeable if you’re unsure of where to go for hiking, sightseeing, shopping or any other activities in the area. We had planned to dine out the second night but the food was so good we decided to dine at the Snooty Fox, also on site but no reservations required. They even had an outdoor fire pit and the items needed for s’mores. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind…to do as little or as much as you want. We’ve been before and will definitely visit again."
