The Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm
A Vermont farmstead inn where the countryside is the whole point.
A place to stay in Hartford
The Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm sits in Hartford, Vermont — a town that puts skiing, hiking, and the Quechee Gorge within easy reach. Rated 4.2/5 by 98 guests, it draws visitors who want a genuine New England base rather than a chain hotel. The property runs a restaurant and bar on-site, keeps a garden and terrace for outdoor time, and hosts temporary art galleries. Free parking is included. Rooms start at $172 and range from compact 19 m² standards to 28 m² deluxe rooms with a terrace and courtyard views.

The farmstead setting and grounds

“The staff were standouts, incredibly hardworking, yet always gracious and friendly.”
“The whole property was a little bit dated, tired and worn. Our room was very basic, the linen was crumpled and we could hear people next door through a connecting door.”
“The restaurant is absolutely excellent. There was a fire alarm while we were there and the staff were professional and efficient in ensuring that everyone was safe.”
“The room we were in was very dusty. I dont mean just light dust...I mean a layer of dust.”
“Quintessential old New England.”
