Our family had the pleasure of eating dinner here on a Thursday night when it is open to the public. It was a warm and rainy night, and this was like stepping in to a sanctuary. It’s so very Vermont in the best way possible. In fact, after vacationing in Vermont two years running, it might be our fav restaurant.
Cozy, inviting, and stellar food. Live music. Kid friendly. Great beer on draft and in cans, as well as wine, cider and cocktails. Friendly and prompt service. This place is a dream. I only wish it were open to the public every night, or that I knew someone who was having a wedding here.
I can’t speak to the rooms, as we only came for dinner. Highly recommend the Mad River Barn.

Had our family reunion here. It's the perfect spot. Food was very good, activities provided for all ages, rooms very comfortable. The staff was wonderful, very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend the Barn for any function

We got married here on May 17th and everything was absolutely magical and perfect! As a local Vermonter, I knew that planning a wedding in May meant that rain was a definite possibility. We chose the Mad River Barn for their beautiful pavilion space that would give us a good backup plan. We were able to take some pictures outside before the torrential downpour and historic May flooding began, but everything went off so smoothly I barely even noticed the rain. It was incredibly special to have all of our friends and family staying right on site, so we were able to maximize time with loved ones throughout the weekend. Our other priority for the weekend (beyond time with friends and family) was to share good food with everyone, and the Mad River Barn definitely delivered! Their chef Sam takes such pride in his work, and every meal was truly wonderful, with all of our guests telling us it was the best wedding food they had ever experienced. Adrienne helped coordinate our event and she was an amazing resource and support for making this wedding happen. We are so incredibly grateful for her help, and she made putting together a wedding in 3 months feel easy, with recommended timelines, vendors, and of course her very appropriate guidance on our wedding day to move the ceremony inside before the rain began. We are so happy with our choice to get married at the Mad River Barn, and very thankful to the entirety of the staff for helping to make the weekend so special! Thank you! The Mad River Valley is always a special place, and the Mad River Barn is part of the magic, a great spot where you can experience amazing food and the beautiful environment, surrounded by wonderful people.

What a beautiful place. Warm , friendly and inviting. Great place to unwind and relax. Comfortable beds and soft linens. Breakfast included was generous and made to order. Gardens are spectacular. Pub had lodge feel, nice bar, excellent food!!!

Hosted a private event in the wedding pavilion. Staff went above and beyond to make it a success. Amazing space for an event - can only imagine how special it would be for a wedding. Have been going to barn for years for pub food music and drink and it’s one of the best in the valley!

Fantastic restaurant. A special place to go out in the MRV.
We were fortunate enough to grab a last minute booking at this truly lovely lodge. This has all the welcoming you could wish for after a long drive! The pub and restaurant below are both great! Wonderful atmosphere and sensational food! The breakfast was fantastic, all you need and more before hitting the slopes! Everyone we dealt with was lovely but Lily was an absolute standout! Lily went over and above to help us out and her warmth and enthusiasm are a credit to the Mad River Barn! Thank you, we’ll be back!

Great food..menu on-line doesn't do it justice:) the brisket chili was on-point; the beet salad with Meyer lemon dressing was tremendous, and the pork chop special was done to perfection. Sat at the bar. Jenny, the bartender, was attentive and very friendly, and the bonus was meeting the executive chef. Laid back atmosphere, wood fire and couches..all good. Highly recommend!

Great food and drink but lacking in a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Fun game area

We got married at the Mad River Barn in October 2024 and had an absolutely amazing experience. After going to college in Vermont and moving out to California for work, we were excited to return for our wedding! Adrienne and her team made the remote planning process easy - so easy that we started to get worried that we were forgetting something. When the weekend of the wedding came around, it was abundantly clear just how much the staff at MRB care deeply about the events they host. Everything, went off amazingly smoothly. They anticipated random needs we didn't even know we had, they made sure the guests enjoyed their time, the food was AMAZING and far and above any other wedding we have ever been to. Every guest we spoke to told us they had a blast!
We had very high expectations and they blew them out of the water! There were so many places where the staff went above and beyond to help make our wedding weekend perfect. If you are able to have your wedding at the Mad River Barn, we couldn't recommend it enough.

If I could give this place a million stars I would. My wife and I got married here in October 2024 and when I say every single part of it was perfection- I sincerely mean that.
Adrienne was our point of contact in helping to plan our big day and she was there to answer EVERY single one of our many, many questions. We especially loved her attention to detail and willingness to answer everything- it's so stressful planning a wedding and it was so reassuring to have her respond not only quickly but with so pleasantly!
The FOOD! Oh my god. I know its a tall order and most of us think, well , it's a wedding! They do the best they can, but no one really expects delicious food at that big an event, right? WRONG Chef Sam is an absolute master at his craft and every single person bring that food to life is a true culinary genius. We still have guests telling us how incredible the food was at our wedding and we couldn't agree any more. Our tip- you absolutely MUST have the tomato soup!!!
We fell in love with this place for it's rustic meets luxury charm but what will have us coming back for so many years to come was the staff, which is this place's absolute heart and soul. We had the most magical weekend and will forever be indebted to the wonderful humans who made our wedding weekend feel so completely surreal! Thank you will never cut it <3
