Family-Friendly Lodging
Spaced Throughout Four Buildings on the Property
The Mad River Barn offers charming boutique lodging in the heart of Waitsfield, VT, just 9 minutes (5.5 miles) from Sugarbush’s Lincoln Peak and 3 minutes (1.7 miles) from Mad River Glen. This family-friendly inn provides cozy accommodations, on-site pub and restaurant, and a complimentary hot breakfast to start your day off right. Whether you’re skiing, hiking, or simply relaxing in the Mad River Valley, the Mad River Barn is the perfect home base for your Vermont getaway.
THE Main BARN
The main building, referred to as “The Barn”, is home to our Pub/Game Room, Dining Room, and eight inn rooms. Each room has a slightly different layout sleeping anywhere from two to eight guests. Three of the rooms are considered “suites”, and are among a few of the most popular on the property.
THE Farmhouse
The Farmhouse bunks are conveniently located just across a covered walkway from the main entrance to The Barn. On the top floor of the building are two “bunk” style rooms, each with six single beds and a private bath. These rooms are great for larger families or small groups staying at the inn looking for a slightly different room setup than our more conventional rooms.
THE longhouse
The Longhouse is located on the North end of the parking lot and includes four rooms. Each room has a Queen bed and 2-4 bunk beds and a private bathroom. The main Barn building is just a short walk across the parking lot, making the Longhouse a great option for a family looking for all of the amenities the Barn has to offer while being just a bit removed from the center of the action.
THE annex
The Annex is located next to the Longhouse, across the parking lot from the main Barn building. Cosmetically renovated a few years ago, each room has a Queen bed and a bunk bed providing accommodations for four guests in each room.

GUARANTEE POLICY
While we make every effort to accommodate guest room preferences, please understand that changes are sometimes required. The unique layout of our Inn requires us to adjust room assignments occasionally in order to accommodate families of all sizes. To ensure your reservation is assigned an appropriately sized room, please confirm your reservation reflects an accurate count of the guests included in your reservation.
CANCELLATION POLICIES
Our standard cancellation policy reads as follows:
Cancellations (in whole or in part) received at least 21 days prior to scheduled arrival will be charged a service fee of $25. Cancellations (in whole or in part) received within 21 days will be charged whatever portion of the stay we are unable to re-rent. No shows and early departures are responsible for the full reservation amount.
Our holiday period cancellation policy applies between Christmas & New Years, MLK Weekend, and Presidents Week.
Your reservation falls within a holiday week and therefore requires a 25% non-refundable deposit. Cancellations (in whole or in part) received at least 21 days prior to scheduled arrival will result in forfeiture of the deposit associated with the canceled stay.
For all Reservations: No shows and early departures are responsible for the full reservation amount. No exceptions will be made to this policy for inclement weather. If your plans are weather-dependent, we recommend making a reservation closer to the arrival date, when weather patterns are more certain.
