It's mostly uphill but a fairly short hike. There's a beautiful stream halfway up as well that spills over into an awesome waterfall. There is one switchback turn that you want to go left on the blue/yellow trail instead of continuing on the solid blue trail but other than that it's very straight forward. You could make it more adventurous on the way up or down and do the waterfall trail which is a bit more work. When you get to the top it's stunning vistas for a far as you can see. You can even see the Farmington River winding its way through the trees below. It's my happy place. I spend lots of time meditating up here in all of the seasons. ❤️](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6359343/7aca4c5e-e82f-4099-a838-edc4db240721.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by Krista Johnson ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6359343/7aca4c5e-e82f-4099-a838-edc4db240721.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Sign in to save 10% or more on thousands of hotels [Sign in](https://www.expedia.ca/login) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Check prices for these dates Tonight [Mar 14 - Mar 15](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?regionId=932923873274658816&startDate=2026-03-14&endDate=2026-03-15&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Tomorrow [Mar 15 - Mar 16](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?regionId=932923873274658816&startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Next weekend [Mar 20 - Mar 22](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?regionId=932923873274658816&startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-22&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) In two weeks [Mar 27 - Mar 29](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?regionId=932923873274658816&startDate=2026-03-27&endDate=2026-03-29&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true) Recommended Price (low to high) Distance Star rating ## Our top choices for Peoples State Forest hotels ![Property entrance](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12990000/12986600/12986517/85d74b46.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12990000/12986600/12986517/5d161739.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12990000/12986600/12986517/2f45bdb0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12990000/12986600/12986517/5435aab1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Truman Gillet House Bed & Breakfast [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Truman-Gillet-House-Bed-Breakfast.h12986517.Hotel-Information) 15.7 km from Peoples State Forest 9.6/10 Exceptional (104 reviews) "Room was spotless and hospitality was outstanding.

We found out it was not when the Sunday morning desk clerk, Jasmine, kicked us out of the hotel, and the manager avoided speaking with us for hours. his only concern was charging the $250 and kicking us out. Cleanliness was ok except for all the marijuana smoke odor throughout the hotel and most disturbing coming from the room next door to us. when we complained about it, twice to two different staff members, neither was interested in addressing the situation. Policies made by staff not back up by the policy agreement. Jasmine first notified us os the $250 charge for smoking. we get it, we smoked on the patio, doesn't matter we were told it was ok, we should have known better. The second call from Jasmine was to inform us we had to leave immediately due to the smoking "as listed on the policy agreement we sign." The policy agreement does address the $250 charge for smoking "in the hotel" but does not state it is grounds for immediate removal from the hotel. In addition, though we pre-paid for our entire stay, which included one additional night, the manager, without even fawning concern and after confirming we must leave immediately, refused to refund the room cost for the day he took from us."
