A Full Vermont Lodge

in the Heart of Waitsfield

A whole lodge rental gives your group the run of the property. Everyone stays together, coordination gets simple, and shared time comes easy. Every guest room has a private bathroom, and many rooms are connected by private hallways so groups can be booked together.

Mad River Lodge sits in the heart of Waitsfield village, which means shops, farm to table restaurants, and local breweries are close by. Sugarbush and Mad River Glen are both a short drive, along with hiking trails, biking routes, and swimming spots throughout the Mad River Valley.
