The Inn at Mad River Barn is for anyone interested in a uniquely Vermont experience, particularly a skiing one. With some of the best skiing VT has to offer within spitting distance, this inn is uniquely positioned to take advantage of it all. The Inn has been around forever and offers an experience that is harder and harder to find... More

Inns should be different than hotels. At a hotel you are mostly in your private room. But at a good inn your time is spent in social areas: the dining room, a game room, the pool, the garden. The Mad River Barn is a wonderful inn. There is no modern styling here. The plumbing is a bit tired. Breakfast is... More

Betsy is the best!! She is more than accomidating. Always there to cook for us, brings firewood up into the great room, where we can have a few drinks and relax.. We have been up many years and NEVER had any problems. If you are looking for luxury, stay at the Hyatt, but if you are looking for good old... More

Got to experience this country inn by chance when a fire kept us from our reservations at a different spot. Betsy was so generous helping us as we needed accommodations for 5 people. This is a country inn and it has a lot of character. We spent most of our free time in the upstairs lounge with beverages and a... More

We loved our stay here at this charming welcoming inn. The food is fantastic and the area great for exploring with the kids. Nice to get away to such an awesome place! It was a perfect place to kick back and enjoy all the area has to offer. We took a day trip to Lake George which we love and... More

I stay at the Mad River Barn at least three out of every four winters with my family. This place is the "real deal" when it comes to a Vermont inn. The bar is fantastic for a relaxing apres-ski experience as the animal trophies, huge fireplace and comfortable surroundings relax you at the end of the day. The rooms are... More

We love staying at the Mad River Barn. It's so relaxing and comfortable, in a wonderfully homey way. Family friendly, the bar and game room make it easy for friends and family to enjoy each others company in small or large groups. We've stayed in both the winter and summer, mostly enjoying the property itself and walks in the woods.

My family (spouse and two sons) stayed at the Mad River Barn last summer for the Mad Marathon. This was the first time I stayed there in the summer. It was unbelievably beautiful. For background, I've been staying at the barn at least one winter weekend for the last 30+ years. I will continue to do so--it is the quintessential... More

I have been staying at the Barn for a week or two every year in ski season for about 20 years. Betsy Pratt is a true Vermont character (definitely old school--they broke the mold!), her staff is affable as they come, and the food is hearty and tasty (although it has varied from year to year). I LOVE THE BARN--it... More
