Hill Farm Inn

Hill Farm Inn is an Orvis-Endorsed Lodge perfectly positioned along the banks of the storied Battenkill River in Manchester, Vermont. Trico’s collaboration with Hill Farm brings together our four decades of guiding expertise with Hill Farm Inn's warm hospitality and riverside setting, creating an ideal retreat for anglers seeking both exceptional fishing and genuine Vermont charm.

A Lodge for Anglers

Hill Farm Inn meets rigorous standards for angler amenities, local knowledge, and proximity to premier fishing waters. Step out your door and you're moments from world-class trout water. Return from a morning on the river to comfortable accommodations, hearty meals, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere where fishing stories flow as freely as the Battenkill itself.

The inn's River House offers spacious accommodations with stunning water views, while the historic barn provides gathering spaces perfect for post-fishing camaraderie or group events. Whether traveling solo, with family, or organizing a corporate retreat, Hill Farm Inn delivers the comfort and convenience that allows guests to focus on what matters most: time on the water.
