With 13 very different though thoughtfully appointed rooms, the Deerhill has something that fits every traveler's expectations. Our eight Enhanced Rooms have gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, TV/DVD, plus a private deck or balcony. Garden Rooms are light and spacious with a private deck or balcony overlooking our rear gardens and pool. Our traditional room is a cozy retreat. All rooms have private bathrooms, designer linens and towels, and though some are smaller they get the same attention to detail as the largest! The inn also has 2 large fireplaced sitting rooms with lots of comfortable sofas and chairs and a small library with almost 50 years worth of great reading! Our primary objective is to make a stay with us feel like a stay at a good friend's house - relaxed and comfortable,not cloying or intrusive. We pride ourselves on respecting our guests' needs for privacy and down time; but when directions are needed we also pride ourselves on 7+ years of experience here in southern Vermont and nobody knows the backroads and special spots better! And when the time is right to sit quietly on your private porch and watch an indescribable sunset over the Green Mountains everything else is secondary anyway! Hospitality is the simple hallmark of our inn experience.

Even before you rise, you'll smell the fresh coffee perking and homemade muffins baking. A full service sit-down breakfast includes fresh baked breads, eggs any style, thick, cinnamon-y french toast and pancakes light as a feather (with real Vermont maple syrup of course!). Fresh fruit, yogurt and granola are always available too for those who really think they can't eat a Vermont farmer's breakfast! And for those who can't totally separate from the "real world" we provide complimentary daily newspapers. And outside the windows, views to take your breath away in the distance and in front, bird feeders that will sometimes make you blink with awe -hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, squirrels and chipmunks provide constant entertainment.

Dine in the restaurant that was chosen as one of "Conde Nast Traveler's Magazine's Top 25 Inns of North America To Eat, Sleep and Be Merry",and discover why "chef owned and operated" means so much more! Chef Michael Allen's Modern American cuisine has often been described as "amazing" by awe struck guests. His fresh baked Artisan breads have become renowned in the area and his pates, pastas and ice creams are all made in house as well. As a member of the Vermont Fresh Network, Michael works closely with local farmers and producers to utilize the best and freshest that Vermont has to offer. Add to this the romantic candlelit dining room and a Wine Spectator awarded wine list, and evening is complete.
