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

Very nice accommodation. Best breakfast. Staff was great. Lovely grounds. We stayed Monday- Wednesday. It was quite. The pub and restaurant was closed except for breakfast. I imagine you could hear a lot of noise during busy season in your room. We heard toddlers crying for a short while. If I was young that wouldn't bother me. It would be a fun lively place to stay. The area/town is very small not much happening but we enjoyed exploring near by. Driving up the mountain is very cool. I would stay again.

It's a magical place to attend a wedding. Everything was impeccable, but if I had to offer a few highlights, they'd be the food, the gardens, and the kindness of everyone who works there, especially Eleanor.
