January 26th, 2013 - By Comments Off

Hewitt Hill Farm, North Pomfret, Vermont

In the seasons of late spring, summer or early fall, Hewitt Hill Farm’s unmatched backdrop creates an endearing pastoral setting for your wedding or event. The farm sits on 100+ acres of pristine, undeveloped land in Southern/Central Vermont. Here, your ceremony, reception or special event can take place comfortably atop smooth, expansive, green lawns. At the borders of the property, strong trees create a safe boundary for guests. Feel at ease with the humble agrarian history of the farm and the simple blackberry bushes and farm relics.

Hewitt Hill Farm is a sweet old-fashioned home with a luxury twist. Fully rebuilt in 2008, Hewitt Hill Farm offers all the modern-day conveniences with the simple charms of a classic New England farm. The house has room for up to 25 guests and offers a chef’s kitchen and a dining room that is custom-designed to accommodate large groups with ease.  Assure your guests that if they so desire, they can stay the night in one of the 11 bedrooms, and feel the warmth of one of Hewitt Hill’s four fireplaces.

Having a winter wedding or event? Once the snow blankets the lawns, Hewitt Hill’s landscape turns into a Winter Wonderland. The estate’s large pond allows ice skating, while gentle hills make for fun sledding! Indoor fun is offered with 2 tv’s, ping pong table, and shuffleboard table. The scene becomes an amazing inspiration for photography. Then when the sunshine is all around, guests will find it hard to resist games of tennis or basketball, or a night swim in the outdoor pool.
