Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very quiet and clean with sweet & helpful staff members. Only complaint is that the bedrooms get a little warm as the AC is just in the living room and not in the bedrooms. Overall great stay!
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had originally booked a stay somewhere else, and were very disappointed when we got there. We ended up leaving the place we originally booked, and so thankful that we found Mad River Lodge to turn around our weekend getaway. We would absolutely recommend and return in the future.
Great little lodge---convenient location relative to Mad River Glen and Sugarbush. Room was clean and cozy, and the check-in/check-out process worked flawlessly.
Good Location. Room was clean and comfortable. All you need for one night. Could hear guests upstairs and no coffee in the room. Great for one night. Check in was super easy and super friendly
Excellent property, great location, reasonable rate. Would definitely stay there again.

There are significantly better options
This hotel is possibly the worst hotel in the area. I’ve stayed here twice and both times I’ve regretted it. Paper thin walls, dated ascetic, and zero staff. If you want stay at a boarding house then go for it.
