Welcome to Vermont's Mad River Valley

Vermont's 'Other' foliage season: Spring!

The dull grey trees of winter, nestled among Vermont's evergreens 'spring forth' with their incredible hues of yellow-green as we enter the month of May. As our first foliage season arrives, we anxiously await the blooming of lilacs, the tulips and flowering perennials. Warm days lengthen and cool nights shorten as we take to our favorite hiking and biking trails, birding locations or our favorite local waterway to soak in the sunshine. Join us as we enjoy the newness of the spring season. Summer events kick into full gear on Memorial Day weekend. Plan your getaway today!

Old-World Vermont Charm

The Mad River Valley is active Vermont; pastoral but never passive. Drive through the Mad River Valley towns of Waitsfield, Warren, Fayston, and Moretown on scenic Vermont Route 100, and you'll be struck by the classic New England landscape and architecture — a mountain ridgeline, a winding river, hillside farms, covered bridges, and steepled villages.

Visit us during any season and make your own discovery — from a fairway, a snow-capped summit, a hiking trail, a kayak on the Mad River, a lawn chair at an outdoor concert, or a porch of a country inn.
