Mad River Barn - Waitsfield

A combination of hits and misses

The warm hospitality of the staff. Plus, the food was delicious-definitely try the clam chowder and the build-your-own burger!

The décor had a nice homey feel! The menu lacked vegan options.

Cozy room and great breakfast, but a bit far from local attractions.

The owners, Andrew and Heather, were kind and thoughtful. The room was spacious and included a unique configuration with a queen and four twin beds, perfect for families. I also appreciated the individual thermostat for room comfort, as well as the scrumptious made-to-order breakfast with fresh ingredients. The cozy setting of the pub, especially the grilled cheese sandwich.

Remote location requires driving.

The room was spacious and cozy, though I wished for more family activities nearby.

The beds were unbelievably comfy 🛌 Had a great time enjoying delicious burgers and a cozy atmosphere. Just remember, it's a bit far from town, so you'll need to drive for more options.

The owners, Heather and Andrew, were really good too ensure we were happy. The room was spacious, with a queen and four twin beds, perfect for families. The individual room thermostat allowed us to adjust the temperature to our liking. The restaurant was a treat. The grilled cheese sandwich and breakfast options, especially the made-to-order omelettes, were delicious. The décor combined rustic charm with modern flair. On the downside, the location is somewhat remote-driving is necessary for shopping and more dining options. We found the menu lacked vegan selections, but the staff was willing to accommodate requests. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would happily return!

This place was just an excellent fit for a brief hiatus in Waitsfield with fantastic value for money. The owner gave us towels to dry our motorcycles off in the morning, a nice touch. Make sure to tip the hardworking staff during breakfast to show your appreciation.

The restaurant provided a noteworthy experience, offering good dishes like the grilled cheese sandwich. The ambiance was well-crafted, merging rustic charm with modern design. The owners were attentive, ensuring all guests felt valued and comfortable, and even left treats for late arrivals.

The location is not centrally located for walking access to shops or restaurants.

The big highlight was our family suite, spacious and perfect for us. We also loved the delicious breakfasts, especially the blueberry pancakes!

My kids wished for more family-friendly activities nearby.

I enjoyed the spacious and clean rooms with a comfortable bed and thoughtfully designed decor. The made-to-order breakfast was good, especially the omelettes and grilled cheese sandwich offered in a cozy pub atmosphere. The cute owners ensured that every guest felt valued and attended to throughout my stay.

The location is somewhat remote, requiring a drive for dining and shopping options.

The spacious room configuration was fantastic, offering both a queen and four twin beds, ideal for families. The comfortable mattress seemed to rival my own at home. Dining at the on-site pub was a real highlight. The grilled cheese sandwich was particularly nice and well worth trying. On the downside, being away from town means driving is necessary for shops or dining, and options for vegan diets are limited, although they can accommodate requests if asked ahead. This retreat's tranquility more than made up for these little inconveniences.

The owners, Andrew and Heather, provided really good hospitality, and the room was exquisitely decorated with rustic industrial flair. The made-to-order breakfast was a treat, especially the delicious omelettes.

Isolated location.

Great for Family Retreats

The owners were friendly, going above and beyond for us. The game room had a huge fireplace, perfect for gathering after a long day outside!

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but considering the experience, it still felt worth it.

A warm and cozy experience with fantastic owners!

The room was spacious with an comfortable bed, and the breakfast was a good made-to-order affair that left us satisfied. I enjoyed the unique décor that showcased creative recycling throughout the hotel. I just wish there were more family-friendly activities nearby to keep everyone entertained.
