Enjoy the Best Vermont Getaway This Winter

Winter is a beautiful time in our charming little state, and the best Vermont getaway includes a stay at the West Hill House B&B in the Mad River Valley. Tucked away in the Warren Hills, our Inn is more than 160 years old. Our tasteful and charming decor, cozy fireplaces, and welcoming service create a lovely ambiance, fit for any vacation! While history is ever-present, you’ll appreciate our thoughtful renovations and updates that bring our Vermont Bed and Breakfast into the 21st century.

For the best Vermont getaway, we offer fantastic packages and indulgences. Whether you’re heading to Vermont for a romantic retreat, a friend’s or family reunion, skiing adventure, or even a solo vacation, our nine unique guest suites can accommodate all types of getaways. Below, we’ll detail the best things to do in Vermont near our Inn, along with a handful of our favorite add-on packages to make your stay that much more memorable.

As a guest at our Vermont Bed and Breakfast, you’ll have your own suite, of course, but you’ll have access to our three common spaces. The living room offers a cozy seating area with a wood-burning stove and our bar for wine, spirits, or beer. The library has more than 1,000 books to choose from for great vacation reads, and a pool table, and the sunroom is a bright, comfortable space to relax in the warmth inside, while surrounded by views of the beautiful outdoors. Check our upcoming availability and book your next stay today!

Plan the Best Vermont Getaway this Winter

Couples searching for the best Vermont getaway in winter often find themselves drawn to Warren and Waitsfield. The Mad River Valley brings together snowy mountains, quiet forests, and small towns that seem made for cozy trips for two. You can start your day with downhill runs at Mad River Glen or Sugarbush, two Vermont Ski Resorts with mountains that offer very different feels.

Mad River Glen keeps its classic charm with skier-only terrain and a laid-back atmosphere, while Sugarbush gives you two peaks, wide-open views, and more than a hundred trails to explore. Both contribute to the valley’s appeal as the best Vermont getaway for couples who love skiing.

There are also many other gentle and peaceful outdoor adventures. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular throughout the valley, especially at Blueberry Lake and Ole’s Cross Country Center. If you prefer a guided experience, Clearwater Sports offers a Full Moon Snowshoe Dinner Tour where you walk under the stars before sharing a warm meal. It is one of the many moments that make your vacation the best Vermont getaway.

Another classic Vermont experience is finding the historic covered bridges peppering the landscape in these iconic small towns. These architectural marvels take on postcard-quality when coated in fresh snow, and the Warren Covered Bridge is a perfect place to start. You can continue exploring the neighboring bridges on a scenic drive, stopping for photos along the way.

If you want a memorable outing, the Vermont Icelandic Horse Farm offers winter rides on gentle horses known for their smooth gait. It is a rare experience in New England and another reason couples choose this region for the best Vermont getaway each year. These are just the beginning of the best things to do in Vermont this winter!

  1. The Luxurious Pampering Package is by far the most popular choice for the best Vermont getaway with romance in mind. Imagine arriving in your spectacular suite to long-stem roses, a bottle of sparkling wine with signature flutes, and local Vermont chocolates. Wake refreshed the next day, join us for a complimentary gourmet breakfast, and look forward to a relaxing massage. That evening, enjoy a fantastic dinner for two at one of our excellent local restaurants.
  2. Expecting a child is exciting, and future parents need to get some necessary R&R before the baby comes. That’s where our Babymoon Package comes into play. We’ve thought of everything to make your stay extra special, from breakfast each morning, prenatal massage for mom, and deep tissue treatment for dad, dinner for two, and even a sweet keepsake for the little one. This is the best Vermont getaway to enjoy before your life changes forever.
  3. These past couple of years have been full of curveballs, and for some, that meant working from home full-time. If you feel like you might need a change of scenery, why not join us for a Workcation in Vermont? Our Inn is equipped with fiber-connected wifi, ample cell phone coverage, and direct-dial phones. A few of our suites are perfectly designed for a work-related getaway with desks and private sitting rooms—all with amazing views of the Vermont countryside.
  4. Our Ski & Save Package is a fantastic deal for those heading to Vermont to hit the slopes. Our Bed and Breakfast is in the ideal location for a ski retreat: only one mile from Sugarbush Resort and seven miles from Mad River Glen, both excellent ski resorts. There’s even a complimentary shuttle bus that picks up each morning for those heading to Sugarbush. Be sure to fuel up with our homemade breakfast and piping hot coffee.
  5. We also offer a full menu of “Inn-dulgences” for special touches and extra perks for the best Vermont getaway. This includes bouquets of fresh flowers, Champagne on ice, concierge services, and massages. If there’s something you wish to add but don’t see here, please ask!

Sometimes the best Vermont getaways include a lot of time spent indoors, pampering yourself, and relaxing.
