About the Mad River Valley
Click here to search Mad River Valley homes.
The Mad River Valley is a four-season paradise, the less trodden path. Home to two of Vermont's finest ski areas: Sugarbush, including Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen (aka Sugarbush North) & "Ski It if You Can" Mad River Glen with its legendary single chair, the Valley spans the dramatic Mad River from its source above breathtakingly beautiful Warren Falls, north all the way to Moretown. From Lincoln Peak along the Long Trail to the Appalachian Gap, and the Northfield Range to the east, this is a diamond at the edge of the Green Mountain National Forest.
Warren Village, at the south end of the valley, features the iconic Warren Store and Relais & Chateau Pitcher Inn, is less than a ten minute drive from Sugarbush. At the four corners stop in at the East Warren Community Market for Wildflower Sushi, organic bagels or grass-fed Neill Farm beef at or check out the Phantom Theater’s summer shows. Collectors flock from near and far to pick up limited production Lawson’s Finest Liquids brewed in Warren, and you can have a special culinary experience at Chez Henri or Timbers and hit Tevere for drinks and live music later.
Waitsfield includes Irasville, the commercial center with the Big Picture Theater, Elusive Moose, Localfolk Smokehouse, Mad Taco, the Store, & American Flatbread, a major wood fired crossroads for locals and flatlanders where the Vermont Music Fest takes place each summer. Historic Waitsfield features the covered bridge, Joslin Memorial Library, Village Grocery, the Artisans Gallery, Bridge St Butchery, 4orty Bridge, Mad River Glass, Madsonian Museum, Mint, Peasant, the Sweet Spot & Waitsfield Pottery. Don’t miss the historic Inn at the Round Barn for big events and weddings. Enjoy the Brewgrass, Siptember Festival and Vermont Music Festival.
