Just A Little New Year Message...

2010-01-16T09:40:00.000-08:00

This was our 16th New Year's Eve celebration at Rabbit Hill Inn. As always, the house was happily full. Many of our guests have been welcoming the New Year at RHI for several years (10 - 20 years for some). Others experienced their first RHI New Year celebration. In a blink of an eye, they were warmly welcomed to joined in the fun. It's often been said, "New Year is a 3-4 day event at Rabbit Hill Inn". It's true. It's more than just champagne and a fun party on the 31st (and it is ALL that!). More so, it's a very special experience, where guests unwind and reflect on the year past, celebrate the incoming New Year in style, and then savor their getaway time with relaxed anticipation of the year ahead.

From morning to night, the common rooms are filled with genuine conversation and laughter. Yet, quiet and relaxed moments magically appear too. Friendships, old and new, are nurtured and enjoyed. It's not intrusive or "too much". It naturally is "just right" for each one's desire. Do I dare say " perfect"?

From our perspective, this warm ambiance is exactly what Rabbit Hill Inn is all about. Here, it doesn't take a holiday to create such a setting. It just happens organically - every day. And for this, we are so very grateful. Thank you for helping us create this chemistry that sets RHI apart from so many others. You help us make this dear home the special place that it truly is.

Our entire Rabbit Hill Inn family wishes you a wonderful 2010, filled with many blessings and answered prayers.

The Perfect Short Vacation in Vermont

2009-06-21T07:55:00.000-07:00

Meet Alex & Lori. They were anxious to escape Manhattan and all the stress that comes along with busy city life. Off to Rabbit Hill they went, for a perfect 3 day Vermont vacation. They wanted to do it all... adventurous fun, countryside drives, "Vermonty" things, visit the wonderful folks at Stave Puzzles, and yet, have time to relax and do as many Stave puzzles as possible, and maybe squeeze in a little "do nothing" time. Three days... hmmmm... is it possible??? Absolutely! They crafted the perfect plan and proved it very possible. Here's how they did it...

Day One - Enjoyed a leisurely drive to Rabbit Hill Inn, arriving in the evening, and cozied into their luxury suite.

Day Two - A day in the Kingdom

Enjoyed a full breakfast (by candlelight)
Drove to Norwich to visit the infamous STAVE Puzzle Shop. They have been addicted to Stave puzzles for so long it was time to meet the folks behind these tormenting treasures.
Wandered the backroads of the Northeast Kingdom countryside.
Visited Cabot Cheese factory (tasting room was the best part)
Visited Grand View Winery & tasted several lovely wines (a few bottles made it to the car).
Stopped at Braggs Maple Syrup Farm. Learned all about the process, from tapping to boiling (again, a few bottles made it into the car).
Wandered off to Barre and found an "outstanding lunch spot".
Returned home to Rabbit Hill to relax, soak in the whirlpool tub.
Wrapped up the day with a glorious dinner at the Inn, some fine wine, and puzzled the night away in our Snooty Fox Pub. Alex & Lori were in charge of "lights out" that night.

Day Three - The adrenaline rush!

A Full breakfast prepared them for the adventurous day ahead.
Off to Alpine Adventures for a heart racing ZIPLINE tour.
While the blood was still pumping, they headed to the local gym for a great workout.
Returned home to the inn, simmered down for well-earned IN-ROOM MASSAGES.
Spent the duration of the day "in the zone" with long soaks in the double whirlpool, and reading on the porch.
The grand finale -- another outstanding dinner at the inn, more fine wine, and more puzzling into the night. We're not kidding...those Stave puzzles are addictive. Guess who was in charge of "lights out" again?

Day Four - Upon a sad departure, they left us saying... "We'll be back in the winter for skiing!"

The result: the perfect short vacation. Well, done Alex & Lori. Can't wait to welcome you "back home" when the snow flies. You'll always be in charge of "lights out".

Chef Matt is a dedicated locavore ~ a true "Pasture To Plate" chef.

WOW! America In The Morning Radio covers Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway

2009-04-25T09:12:00.000-07:00

What a thrill! We got a call from the producer of the Jim Bohanon Show/America In The Morning - Westward One's award-winning radio news magazine. The show broadcasts from Washington D.C. and is syndicated across the US.

They heard about the "Pink Slip" Giveaway and wanted to share the story with their nationwide listening audience. The piece aired in a few time slots and before you know it, we heard from folks from Scranton, PA to Las Vegas, NV. It was an amazing opportunity, for sure. Our heartfelt thanks to Jim Bohannon and Tom Delach for helping us share the news! If you wish to hear the show - click here.

Rabbit Hill Inn appears on FOX 44 News AND Wheel of Fortune on same day.

2009-03-27T17:49:00.000-07:00

This has been a HUGE media week for Rabbit Hill Inn. Certainly more excitement than we're used to around here. On Wednesday, 3/24, reporter, Ben Kennedy from FOX44 News came to film an interview regarding our Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway. His producer learned of our Giveaway and insisted that it be on the air that night! "Finally, a positive story! We could not pass this up!", said the producer.

Ben did a wonderful job telling our story and sharing the details of the Giveaway with their viewership. FOX44 News aired the story that night at 7pm, 10pm, and again at 7:30am the following morning. Thanks Ben!

But it didn't end there... at 7:30, on the same night, Rabbit Hill Inn appeared on national TV, on the Wheel of Fortune. The scheduling was purely coincidental. Fox News had no idea about "The Wheel".

No one took home the 6 night Rabbit Hill Inn vacation prize that night. But the Inn sure did look great in the promo film clip. Many thanks to Spreading Flames Media for the terrific video! If permission is granted by Sony Productions, we'll show the film clip on our website.

"Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway" ~ Rabbit Hill Inn gives a break to unemployed.

2009-03-15T08:28:00.000-07:00

Rabbit Hill Inn is giving away (6) two-night getaways to couples dealing with the anxiety of unemployment. Why? Because we are tired of all the negative news! As unemployment rates are skyrocket, we asked ourselves, "How can we make a difference?" We can't change the economic climate, but we can soothe the souls of others who find themselves suddenly caught up in the nightmare of job loss.

We know first hand the challenges of being unemployed. For a few years, back in the 90's, we were in the same boat. We remember the intensity of that stress and its effects on a relationship so our compassion goes out these people. A relaxing getaway is needed now more than ever. They may have the time, but not the money.

A free Rabbit Hill getaway is the perfect remedy - allowing couples to unwind and turn their back on the daily grind for a couple of precious days to focus on each other. Hopefully, they leave re-energized, emotionally stronger, and ready to conquor the challenge of a job search.

If you know someone who has been unemployed for more than six months and can really use a break, urge them to enter the "Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway". Click the link and learn the details on how to enter. All entries must be submitted by June 1st.
