Great gathering spot

This home is filled with a variety of spots to gather as a large group or sit and chat with just another person. The sun even peaked out for a bit (in late March) and we enjoyed time on the deck. Super easy to get to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen.

Something for everyone

We brought our dog and kids for a ski weekend and had a wonderful time. The home is spacious with plenty of room to spread out or play together. The hosts have several board games along with the pool table in the finished basement. It was very clean with just the right amount of amenities. We chose not to use the fireplace during our stay. The house stays nice and warm and the beds and pillows are comfy. I’d love to return next year!

Perfect ski trip with family and friends

The location is perfect; tucked in a beautiful private space with scenic view. Minutes from the resort! Home is spacious and accommodating. We took our 23 and 25 year old sons and 4 lifelong friends. They loved the basement with pool tables and bar area. I loved the octagon living room w view and relaxation feel! Large sized mud room for ski and snowboard equipment. Our dogs had great outdoor space to run around! The house was clean w many sleeping options. Main bedroom was huge and private from others w own bath. I even had a desk area to get some work done while the boys went snow mobiling. Fully equipped kitchen and was able to cook for 8 hungry boys w plenty of plateware etc

Wonderful stay at River Ridge!

We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Waitsfield on Butternut Hill! The property was perfect and had everything we needed for a ski weekend with two families with young children. Mad River Management made our check in and check out process seamless and they were extremely responsive and helpful leading up to and during our visit. We can’t wait to come back!
