Best Things to Do on Your Vermont Winter Getaways
The Mad River Valley is one of Vermont’s most scenic and inviting winter destinations, especially for couples looking for a blend of adventure and relaxation. Centered around the charming towns of Warren and Waitsfield, this area captures the essence of Vermont winter getaways. You’ll find winding country roads lined with covered bridges, cozy cafes serving locally roasted coffee, and exceptional farm-to-table cuisine at every turn.
With Sugarbush Ski Resort nearby, historic Vermont covered bridges to discover, and endless outdoor activities at your doorstep, the Mad River Valley offers the perfect mix of mountain excitement and small-town charm. Here are a few of our favorite things to do in Vermont this winter:
- Spend the day skiing or snowboarding at Sugarbush Ski Resort, one of Vermont’s top winter destinations for fresh powder and stunning mountain views. The iconic ski resort is only five minutes from the doorstep of our B&B, and we offer a complimentary shuttle service for our guests.
- Explore the local shops and galleries in Waitsfield Village, where you can find Vermont-made art, crafts, and gifts. It’s a lovely little town with welcoming residents.
