Welcome to Vermont's Mad River Valley

With the winter holidays upon us and winter snows falling, now is the time for a romantic getaway, or to plan your winter trip. Holiday bookings are strong, so we suggest planning ahead. Being only a 3-6 hour drive from all metropolitan northeastern cities makes the Mad River Valley a perfect, hassle-free option to flying west.

Travel & Leisure Magazine has named The Mad River Valley as a "Best Small Ski Town" in the United States. Read the article HERE, then plan your own discovery visit. 

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.
