Holiday Vacations & Getaways in Mad River Valley, VT

Seeking the perfect destination for a holiday getaway in New England—the sweet spot of outdoor adventure, cozy luxury, and plenty of festive spirit?

Hey, we’ve got just the spot: Vermont’s magical Mad River Valley, with the Pitcher Inn as your elegant headquarters!

A Winter Wonderland Awaits in the Mad River Valley & the Green Mountains

The Mad River Valley ranks among the Northeast’s fabled destinations for winter sports and other outdoor recreation. With accommodations at the Pitcher Inn here in charming Warren, you’ve got two of the Green Mountain State’s best-known ski resorts—Sugarbush and Mad River Glen—both just a short (and scenic) drive away.

And when you’re not downhill carving or snowboarding (at Sugarbush, that is: Mad River Glen is famously ski-only) down Green Mountain slopes, you can slip on those cross-country skis or snowshoes for quiet tours through the woods. Both Sugarbush and Mad River Glen offer fine snowshoeing routes, but there are plenty of other options, too: from an easy tromp on the Mad River Path to backcountry treks along the famous Long Trail.

Holiday Vacations at the Pitcher Inn

Our gorgeous hotel makes a super-cozy and super-luxurious base of operations for a holiday getaway in the Mad River Valley. We dare you to find a better combination of accommodations and atmosphere: You’ve got your very own wood-burning fireplace and your very own in-room Christmas tree to enjoy, just for starters. We’ll decorate your tree for you or you can undertake the task, whichever you’d prefer.

And with delicious meals and merry libations awaiting at 275 Main and our Tracks tavern, you’ve got top-class wining-and-dining covered without leaving our grounds.

Festive Cheer at Mad River Valley Breweries

And speaking of libations, don’t forget the Mad River Valley is nearly as well known for its craft beer as its ski slopes, and there’s really nothing like combining firsthand appreciation of the two. (It’s not just the sudsy stuff, either: Mad River Distillers offers exceptional small-batch spirits—just the thing for a deliciously cold winter’s day—right here in Warren.)

Make It a Mad River Valley Holiday With a December Getaway at the Pitcher Inn

Spend the day on downhill runs and backwoods trails—with maybe a cheery tasting room or two thrown in for good measure—and then return to the Pitcher Inn for a hearty feast at 275 Main and some quality time beside the fireplace and your own personal tinseled-up evergreen. That’s the holiday magic of the Mad River Valley and our Warren, VT hotel, and we invite you to experience it!
