We hosted our daughter's wedding here last weekend and could not be happier. Everything and everyone was wonderful! The food was excellent, the service perfect, the rooms were very comfortable, and their assistance and coordination was invaluable! So many of our guests have told us that it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended and I have to agree. There was a casual elegance to the entire event that made everyone feel welcome. I cannot say enough, I wholeheartedly recommend Mad River Barn.
This place was disappointing. Essentially an unstaffed, minimal B&B, with no place for bags but the floor as you walk in. No table, no chair, poor lighting in the bathroom for shaving/make-up. Beds were worn out and very uncomfortable.
Several guests went into the closed pub to sit with their families in the evening , had no idea if this was allowed because no one was at the desk.
No dinner services available Monday - Wednesday in the restaurant, recommend eating before arriving. The breakfast was good, hats off to the cook!
This place feels like it’s set up for weddings and a B&B as an afterthought.
Had my wedding here and they took such good care of us , the day could not have went better , food was amazing and the venue was beautiful .
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!
Yummy food and great service! Awesome owners❤️
Giving five stars for having the best food in the valley. Consistently good quality and service..

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!
