The well-marked and maintained trails throughout the Mad River Valley offer plenty of challenging and exciting terrain for all skill levels of riders.
- Farm and Food Tours: One of the best ways to experience the bounty of farm-fresh products like Vermont cheeses and locally grown produce is on farm and food tours. A couple of favorites to note are a “design your own” tour of The Vermont Cheese Trail and the Mad River Taste Place, a specialty grocery store with tons of local and unique products.
- Restaurants and Breweries: Some of the best restaurants and breweries are in the Mad River Valley. As a guest at our B&B, you’ll be treated to a lovely breakfast each morning, and then we always encourage our guests to explore the nearby Warren and Waitsfield restaurants.
