MAD River Inn

We had a nice two-night stay at the Mad River Inn in May. It is kept clean, owners are friendly, and there was a great homemade breakfast in the morning, which we chose to eat on the outdoor porch facing the farm next-door. My only issue was the somewhat inaccurate description of the Warren/Waitsfield 2 bedroom “suite”. A suite indicates one shared room for all guests that our family of three could stay in. But, the bathroom is located in the Waitsfield room, and the Warren room is a separate room that you have to pass through the top of a staircase to get to. Our grown kid had to get dressed to go to the bathroom or shower, since the passage between the rooms was a small but public space. Perhaps the top or bottom of this back staircase should be closed off so it feels more private. Was under the impression we would all be in one room. Ideally this “suite” should just be the Waitsfield and Champlain rooms since there is a connecting door between the two of them and you wouldn’t need to leave your room to use the bathroom.

This Inn is a must visit. The bedrooms are very well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and started with a bowl of fresh fruit. The every day homemade cookies were a bonus treat. The hosts could not be more accommodating and attentive. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stay here.

I just returned from a 3 night getaway with my husband to Waitsfield VT. We stayed at the Mad River Inn and had a wonderful stay. Susannah and Brandon were just the best. They made us feel very welcome and at home. Our room was just the right size with a comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast each morning was ample and delicious. Bonuses included fresh baked cookies each day along with complimentary beverages and snacks. There is a pool table, fire pit, and hot tub available for guests to use all in a relaxing environment. What more is there to say? I highly recommend you find out for yourself. You won’t be sorry.

We stopped in for a respite during our through hike of ghettos Long Trail. It was a marvelous stay! If you are within 100 miles of Waitsfield, VT you should stay at the Mad River Inn. Brandon and Susannah attended to every detail. Very memorable experience! Beautiful location, hot tub, around the clock homemade cookies, coffee and tea bar with dozens of kinds of tea, pool table, and complementary snacks. I highly recommend it!

We made a last minute decision to ski at Sugarbush and after some searching selected the Mad River Inn for two couples. We selected an option for two rooms. When we arrived Susannah offered an alternative arrangement with two separated rooms each with access to a bathroom at the same rate we booked. This was very thoughtful and appreciated. She recommended options for dinner and showed us around the beautiful and historic Inn giving some history and interesting background. We enjoyed a game of billiards in the game room. In the morning she prepared omelets for breakfast. There was also an impressive selection of teas and coffee. There were many nice touches; comfortable beds, rooms each decorated with beautiful antiques, home baked snacks, cold picture of fruited water and more. We highly recommend this stop, and will come back with a larger group in the future.

This was exactly what we wanted from a Vermont B&B. A fantastic location, glorious view every morning with an excellent warm breakfast, and a wonderful family of innkeepers who run the operation. If you're looking for a cozy, classic Vermont B&B experience, this is the place! As an added bonus, they were wonderful in accommodating us while we traveled with a young child. Many B&B's don't allow kids, so we were very appreciative of The Mad River Inn working with us to make arrangements for our family holiday!
