The Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm occupies an 18th-century farmhouse on Quechee Main Street in the village of Quechee, Vermont, a community in the Upper Connecticut River Valley within Hartford Township. The inn is set on the banks of the Ottauquechee River, steps from the river access used for fly fishing by inn guests and their guides. Quechee Gorge—Vermont's deepest gorge at 165 feet, formed by glacial meltwater and accessible from US-4 above—is a 10-minute walk, making the inn a natural base for gorge exploration, hiking, and the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VNIS) raptor center adjacent to the gorge. The farmhouse rooms are furnished in a traditional New England country style; cottage rooms provide additional accommodation in adjacent outbuildings. A continental breakfast is included with all stays, served in the farmhouse dining room each morning. The inn's location within the Quechee Lakes residential community provides access to golf at the Quechee Club's two championship courses, though guests should confirm current access terms. Canoes and kayaks can be arranged for paddling the Ottauquechee River, and bicycle rentals are available for exploring the valley roads. Woodstock village, with the Woodstock Inn & Resort, Billings Farm & Museum, and the town's shopping and dining, is 6 miles west. The Simon Pearce glass studio and restaurant in the Quechee village mill are a 5-minute walk.
