Lisa and I stayed at the Wildflower Inn because we had driven by it several times while exploring Burke and Darling Hill Rd. In 2020 they were closed and we parked there while exploring Heaven’s Bench which is on a hill above the BnB. Read about exploring beautiful Burke Vermont here. And the Wildflower Inn makes a good hub to explore from, as detailed here.

The Wildflower Inn in Burke, Vermont is a cozy and affordable destination for travelers looking to experience the beauty of New England. It is located in the heart of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. The Inn is just a short drive from some of the region’s most popular attractions. The panoramic views of the surrounding landscape from above the Inn are the stuff postcards are created for.

The Wildflower Inn and Views

Getting to the Wildflower Inn is easy, no matter how you choose to travel. The inn is located just off Route 5 (take 116 to Darling Hill Rd), which runs through the heart of Vermont and is easily accessible by car. If you’re flying into the area, the Burlington International Airport is just a 2-hour drive away and offers regular flights to and from major cities across the country.

When Lisa and I stayed there, it was 13 October so the fall colors were definitely on the way out. I would say 1-10 October would (depending on the year) be much better for the fall colors.

Kingdom Trails shares their parking lot so if you want to rent a bike and explore the rolling dirt roads or the wooded trails which offer over 100 miles of trails for hiking, and mountain biking, It can’t get more convenient. After exploring during the day we returned to the Inn and had freshly made Pizza in the Pub. The next morning we walked over the the main building to sample the well-laid-out breakfast.

Moose Watching

Yes, there is a chance to spot a moose on Darling Hill Rd. You just need to keep a wary eye for them. During daylight hours they are hard to miss. But they tend to come out at dusk and before dawn and being able to spot a large brown animal when it’s pitch black, you get my point…
