Our time at Mad River Inn was incredible from start to finish. Brandon and Susannah were extremely helpful and gracious hosts . They greeted us at the door and attended to every need we had from snacks, to restaurant and shopping recommendations, to a brief history of the property. Some special highlights of the experience included the hottub, gameroom, unlimited tea, extremely comfortable king bed, and delicious, decadent home-cooked breakfasts. I would absolutely recommend Mad River Inn to any traveler staying in this area of Vermont. 100/10!

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

Great B&B

We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very friendly and interesting, the breakfasts and afternoon snacks delicious, with a huge selection of teas! The bedroom, though quite small, was very comfortable and the bathroom modern and very clean. There is a comfortable sitting room and in the basement a game room with pool table. You can have wine and beer too! It is located about a mile from Waitsfield Center which has many restaurants and cafes, interesting shops and art studios.

The property was so genuine both in terms of the acreage and space outside, as well as the authenticity of the 1860's building, inside. The host and hostess were incredibly engaged with the guests and offered information about the property, building, and surrounding area points of interest. The breakfast was amazing with both a savory and sweet option daily as well homemade afternoon snack. We felt completely at home and well taken care of. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.
