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.

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!
