Property
If a New England B&B and little ones strike you as a match made in hell, you haven’t been to Lyndonville, Vermont’s Wildflower Inn yet. Just picture it, agreeably worn-out kids, fresh from a day of fun activities on the farm, drinking apple juice from rocket-shaped sippy cups while their equally agreeable parents sip an “oaky” chardonnay and admire Vermont’s green countryside.

Location
Located in Vermont’s rural Northeast Kingdom, the Wildflower Inn is just a twenty minute drive from St. Johnsbury, home of the Fairbanks Museum. In an hour, you can reach New Hampshire’s White Mountains, the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory or the Cabot cheese factory. If you want to save on gas, there’s plenty to do at the Inn — two hours of kids and teen activities daily, an outdoor pool, a petting barn with a charming miniature horse, wagon rides, a play room, access to bike trails and your choice of two modern play structures.

Sleeps
2-8 in accomodations ranging from standard hotel rooms (all with great views) to private cottages.

Highlights
The Wildflower has a proven track record of doing whatever it can to make families comfortable and happy. The restaurant caters to children but remains up-scale enough to make parents happy. The children’s program is fabulous and includes toddlers during select summer weeks.

Good to know
The Wifi advertised on the web site is spotty at best although mobile service was great. Prices quoted are for double occupancy. During high season, familiesare charged $10 - $15 per night for each additional room occupant (even children). Check for specials before booking!
