Weathertop Mountain Inn

Weathertop Mountain Inn is centrally located in Vermont's Mad River Valley, home to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen Ski Resorts. We are situated on Route 17, just one mile from the intersection with scenic Route 100 in Waitsfield, and minutes from skiing or golf. For those who wish to be even closer to the skiing action, we offer a Slopeside Condominium in the Mountainside Condo Complex at Sugarbush Lincoln Peak Ski Resort.

The Mad River Valley is a year-round recreation hub for downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, birdwatching, fishing, horseback riding, soaring, golf and tennis. AND DON'T FORGET FALL LEAF PEEPING. Nowhere in New England are the autumn colors more brilliant! It's all here in a four-season destination that is a true Vermont treasure.

The inn is set well off the road and is nestled among a forested hillside, manicured lawns, and lush perennial gardens - perfect for viewing the resident birds and wildlife. For even more outdoor serenity, our on-site trailhead allows easy access to miles of recreational paths, perfect for hiking or snowshoeing.

Our location is close to many quaint village shops in Waitsfield and Warren, delectable restaurants, and a host of services you'll be pleasantly surprised to find in such a rural setting. Other area attractions include Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, The Bundy Center for the Arts, Trapp Family Lodge, Shelburne Museum, Green Mountain Audubon Center, Cabot Creamery, UVM Morgan Horse Farm, and much, much more. We're also within easy reach of Burlington, Montpelier, Middlebury, Waterbury, Northfield and Stowe. Allow us to share our knowledge of the region, and its countless offerings, to enhance your Vermont experience.

RELAX IN COMFORT IN ANY SEASON........

Our inn's 8 spacious guest rooms feature private baths, all of the comforts of home and more. Each room is individually and tastefully decorated with quilts, hand stenciling and memorabilia honoring a famous Vermonter. In accordance with Vermont state law, all guest rooms are non-smoking, as is the rest of the inn. All of our guest rooms are the same size and offer the same amenities, including plush Egyptian cotton towels, high thread count cotton sheets, soft spa robes, mini-refrigerator, CD player/alarm clock, hair dryer, ceiling fan, and air-conditioning in the summer.

We offer a choice of bedding configurations to suit a variety of group sizes. You have your choice of one king bed, one queen bed, one queen bed with one twin bed, or two double beds. The double rooms accommodate up to 4 adults, and are perfect for friends or larger families traveling together. Our guest rooms have large windows facing either our forested hillside or our manicured front lawn. During the fall season, the front-facing rooms have wonderful views across the property to the blazing trees lining the Mill Brook. Look carefully out of the rear-facing windows for a glimpse of fox, bobcat, or deer. They love our property as well!

We have been second-home owners in The Mad River Valley since the mid-80's, coming here - as tourists - as often as possible. With the purchase of Weathertop, it became our permanent home. Our love for The Valley started with downhill skiing, and quickly progressed to include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, kayaking, etc., etc., etc....

The spectrum of recreational activities here is incredible! The Valley also has much more to offer than postcard scenery and tranquil surroundings - it has a wonderful sense of community.

Our other passions include world travel, scuba diving, and cooking (OK, eating too...). Our love of travel is reflected in the collection of art & antiques displayed throughout the inn, much of which was acquired during our years of living and working in Singapore. We also like to share travel tales with our guests, as this is an excellent way to plan future trips!

Our travels also influence our cooking style, and it is most apparent in our restaurant. We never come home without adding a new recipe to our international arsenal! And while traditional, hand-carved steaks and chops are big sellers, we will always have some dishes from Southeast Asia on our menu, if just to recall fond memories of those days.

As avid travelers, we have tried to incorporate into our business the amenities we would like to see in lodging properties and dining establishments we patronize. We also pride ourselves on personal, attentive service for our guests. Since we hire no staff, you deal with us directly from pre-booking inquiries through checkout. If there is something you want or need - just ask! We will attempt to accommodate your needs and make your stay at Weathertop Mountain Inn both pleasurable and memorable!
