It's an older place and with that comes good old fashioned Vermont ambiance. The sign said good food and we concur. It's simple and delicious. Our server was very kind and ready to serve. I had a breakfast of hash browns, onions, peppers, onions, and eggs with GF wheat toast. Hubby had blueberry pancakes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. He said the pancakes were light, almost like a crepe and delicious with real maple syrup. It was lunch time but they still serve breakfast which was a nice change. The attached gift shop was small but had plenty of local crafts and VT souvenirs.

That said, the staff was extremely friendly and could not have been nicer.

Before booking, it's important to understand what Liberty Hill Farm actually is. You're staying in…read moresomeone's home -- not a traditional inn, lodge, or working farm stay with structured activities. It's a large, old farmhouse with a few rooms converted into guest rooms. That setup can be charming to some, but surprising to others. Let's start with the "experiences" listed on the website. Things like fly fishing, hiking, or barn tours technically exist, but only if you take the initiative to do them yourself. There's no real guidance, schedule, or facilitation. If you're imagining a hands-on farm experience or curated activities, you'll likely be disappointed. Beth, who runs the property, is clearly the heartbeat of the place -- but she's not a natural in hospitality. While it's understandable that hosting guests in your personal home can be draining, she comes across as short, unwelcoming, and at times, downright rude. For example, she called the day of our arrival to push check-in an hour later, and when we arrived right on time, she rushed us upstairs with a quick "OK, there you go!" No tour, no orientation, no warmth. Later, when we went to the kitchen (hoping to learn more about the farm or get a lay of the land), she looked up and said, "You have questions?" I smiled and said, "So many!" -- expecting maybe a bit of that classic Vermont charm and a quick rundown of things to do. Instead, she said, "Save your questions for dinner please, I'm busy." It was such an awkward, deflating exchange that we actually considered leaving. To her credit, she does cook meals and gathers everyone around the table, which could be a lovely touch in the right hands. But the experience feels centered more around her routine than around guests enjoying farm life. Bottom line: If you're looking for a genuine farm stay -- where you can milk cows, explore the property, and feel part of the rhythm of the land -- this isn't that. If you simply want to sleep in a farmhouse, walk around quietly, and hope not to get scolded, it might suit you fine. I really wanted to love Liberty Hill Farm. The setting is beautiful, the concept is wholesome, but the execution is missing the heart and hospitality that make this kind of stay special.

Everyone throughout the weekend was so wonderful, but we specifically remember Mehnaz and Amelie. They work hard, bring positive energy, and do it all with a smile. The food was also excellent. We had dinner at both restaurants and really enjoyed each experience. The breakfast was also top notch and I wish I could replicate the bacon they serve.

The grilled octopus was nice and light, and the cauliflower was okay with the dish. It was a smaller potion, but left room for the remaining courses. The tagliatelle was cooked well and the tomatoes and mushrooms added nicely to the dish. This was a nice sized portion, and definitely filling. The chocolate raspberry tart was more on the chocolatey side. Maybe my least favorite course from those I had, but nonetheless still good. The check came with petit four which was a nice touch.
