This area is known for its countryside dotted with charming villages with white steeple churches, rolling farmland, and the Green Mountains rising in every direction.

Walk hand in hand through forests, paddle down the river on a double kayak, explore country roads, and go into town for an elegant farm-to-table dinner. A Vermont honeymoon is relaxing and adventurous, especially for newlyweds who love the outdoors and discovering scenic overlooks, waterfalls, and wildlife.

Plan Your Vermont Honeymoon in the Mad River Valley

If you would choose a quiet day in the woods over the beach any day, then a Vermont honeymoon is for you. We guarantee that when people ask where you’re headed, and you say Vermont, it will be followed by, “That’s the perfect choice!” That is why romantic getaways in Vermont continue to attract couples from across the country.

Whether joining us in the fresh start of spring or the height of summer for outdoor excursions, this backdrop is unbeatable for hiking, biking, and swimming holes. For those who prefer cozy moments curled up indoors, the golden hues of fall and the snowy white winters set a dreamy tone.

Here are the best reasons to make the Mad River Valley your Vermont honeymoon destination:

  1. If you’re looking to explore Vermont’s vast wilderness, you’ll be minutes away from hiking and mountain biking trails. One of the most popular Long Trail trails for adventurous hikers is the summit of Mt. Abraham. It’s just a five-minute drive to Lincoln Gap to start, and before you know it, you’ll be witnessing 360-degree views of beautiful mountains at every turn.
  2. If you’re here in the warmer months, be sure to stroll through the Waitsfield Farmers Market, where you’ll find fresh produce and handcrafted goods. Wander into galleries and artisan studios for unique souvenirs of your Vermont honeymoon.
  3. One of the most romantic things to do in Vermont is soar over the stunning landscape in a glider plane. Head to the Sugarbush Airport for this unforgettable experience as you fly silently over the mountains, a perfect way to mark a romantic getaway or Vermont honeymoon destination moment.
  4. The forests around the Mad River Valley are rich with birdlife during warmer months. Bring binoculars and enjoy peaceful mornings together spotting native species. The Birds of Vermont Museum is also a lovely place to visit.
  5. In the evenings, you’ll find many excellent restaurants in Waitsfield and Warren to explore. One of the most romantic is the Pitcher Inn for a farm-to-table dinner paired with a great wine list. For a nightcap, join us back at the Inn for wine by the bottle or glass, and Vermont beers.
  6. Hit the links at the Sugarbush Golf Course or nearby historic courses. Golf outings pair well with a Vermont couples getaway, and scenic backdrops are perfect. Sugarbush is also one of the top-rated ski resorts in Vermont, so if you’re planning a winter honeymoon, plan this classic New England experience and hit the slopes!
  7. Snowshoeing is also a popular way to explore the Mad River Valley. Book a guided tour with Clearwater Sports; the moodlight winter hike is by far one of the most romantic things to add to your itinerary.
  8. Visit nearby Covered Bridges and waterfalls. Take a scenic drive through the Mad River Valley and stop at iconic covered bridges and waterfalls. These picturesque landmarks make perfect backdrops for honeymoon photos.

We love hosting newlyweds with hearts in their eyes and smiles on their faces. A Vermont honeymoon is such a lovely choice for a low-key and restful getaway after the busy days of planning, hosting family and friends, and the stress that goes along with it.
