Bring your group to Hill Farm, a resort with a working farm, Green Mountain views, and over a mile of Battenkill frontage. Hill Farm sits on 70 acres and opens up to welcome your group, with accommodations that are right for your occasion. Settle into the River House for a larger group or one of the Cottages for smaller groups.
Manchester, Vermont, with its strollable streets and shops, is 5 miles down the road. Historical sites, art, music, golf, and skiing are close by and easy to arrange for group outings. Whatever occasion brings you together, the farm, the river, and the kitchen shape the days, and our team helps plan your stay.
MULTI-GENERATIONAL
Family Reunion
A Reunion That Holds Everyone
The morning starts slow, sipping hot coffee while the farm and family wake up around you, and the day builds from there. A family reunion at Hill Farm moves as one group: a garden walk, an afternoon learning to fly-fish together on the Battenkill, cousins who haven't seen each other in years catching up along the way. When the pace catches up with everyone, there's a comfortable place for quiet rest before dinner brings the family back together at one table. Reach out to our team to talk through your dates.
ANNIVERSARIES & BIRTHDAYS
Milestone Event
A Special Celebration, Marked Properly
A big anniversary, a new decade birthday, or a celebration of renewed health or a job promotion deserves more than a reserved table. At Hill Farm, the celebration can stretch across a weekend: a private dinner, a slower morning by the river, a toast that doesn't have to end when the restaurant closes. We help shape the details so the day belongs entirely to the person, couple, or family it's for.
OLD FRIENDS, NEW WEEKEND
Friends Reunion
The Group Chat, In Person
High school friends, college roommates, a moms' group overdue for a weekend that isn't about anyone else's schedule. However the group formed, Hill Farm gives it somewhere to land: group lodging across the River House and Cottages, and a farm big enough for the whole group. Bachelor and bachelorette weekends land here too, for friends looking for more than one big night out. Outdoor activities keep the energy up, while indoor comfort suits the kind of conversation, laughter, and reminiscing that goes deep into the night. Reach out to our team to talk through your dates and your group.
OFF SITE, SWAP CITY FOR MOUNTAINS
Corporate Retreat & Offsite
Work, Away From the Office
Hill Farm is a three-hour drive from New York, Hartford, and Boston, and a world away from bustling city streets. A team offsite works best when the setting does some of the work: good food from our kitchen, comfortable lodging for a good night's sleep, and a 70-acre campus to break up the agenda, so strategy sessions end in a trail walk rather than another conference room. Scheduled group events, a half-day on the river learning to fly fish or a ski day, a market garden walk and cooking class, or morning yoga in the barn, give colleagues something more fun than an icebreaker to bond over. Reach out to our team to start planning your corporate retreat, including seasonal programming and sample itineraries.
ORVIS ENDORSED FLY FISHING LODGE
Fly-Fishing Experiential Stay
A Stay Built Around the River

Whether you're a couple planning a fun exploration trip together, a multigenerational grandparent, parent, and child trip, or a serious group of anglers, let us help set up your stay and your guides as you book your experience.
