A charming Bed and Breakfast
We had a great stay at the Mad River Inn. Wonderful hosts, lovely old inn, delicious breakfast (and afternoon cookies!), impressive tea selection, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We had to cut our stay short unexpectedly, but we’ll be back!

We booked a stay here at the beginning of October.
The hosts were so welcoming, and gave us ideas of where to explore in the area.
The rooms were beautifully decorated, and so cosy.
Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning, and the choices were delicious. There were freshly baked cookies daily, and other complimentary snacks
I’d definitely return in a heartbeat

Fantastic Stay at The Mad River Inn
We had a fantastic stay at Mad River Inn with Brandon and Suzannah. Breakfast was incredible with a sweet and savoury option every morning. The game room is a lovely extra. The location is great with easy access to Stowe and Waterbury close by with great restaurants. Our room was comfortable and cosy - a fantastic place to stay for a weekend away

Mad River Inn has everything you need!
Suzanna and Brandon were wonderful hosts. The inn is comfortable and provided many amenities like game room, hot tub, and fire pit. Daily baked goods smell delicious and breakfast each morning was wonderful! Our hosts had great recommendations of things to do in the area and were lovely to chat with. We were visiting for a wedding in Waitsfield and were very happy staying local rather than in one of the other cities!
