We stayed at the 1824 House for one night while attending a wedding. The owners of the inn are wonderful people and instantly made us feel right at home. They offered us delicious freshly made banana muffins and showed us to our room. The owners purchased the inn about six months ago after the former owners were foreclosed upon. They have done a great job decorating and renovating the inn. Breakfast was included the next morning and it was just perfect. I would highly recommend staying here if you're in the Mad River valley area. We didn't want to leave!

Had dinner their Sunday - prime rib prix fixe for only $26! Worth the drive from Sugarbush.

Original plan for weekend didn't include a stay here but had heard of it previously and were happy we ended up both staying and dining there.
Tastefully and warmly decorated, complete with roaring fire and yummy chocolate brownies and coffee on request on the grand piano after delicious dinner at the barn.
Excellent meal, accommodating waitstaff (popped open champagne for my kir royale) and chef (I'm particular about how I like my duck prepared... he crisped up the skin on request then came out to check on us and happily discoursed on a variety of topics).
French toast and crumbcake for breakfast were tasty, but the baked grapefruit was an acquired taste.
Free wifi was a nice bonus (esp when checking on weather etc). Road noise was there but I live in a city so not a big deal and in any case, it makes sense to travel w/ear plugs.
John and Trae (spelling?) were great hosts - warm, friendly and solicitous, lovely taste in decorating (down to attention to details like q-tips and cotton balls in pretty Japanese bowl in our bathroom), and with friendly but low-profile dogs.

My partner and I decided at the last minute to head to Vermont for some skiing. We went online and booked our stay at the 1824 House, there prices were the best in that entire area. When we got there, after a rather hectic travel day, we were greeted buy the innkeepers, Trae & John, who are delightful. They had a fire already going and offered us warm beverages. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud and the breakfast the next morning was DELICIOUS! We spent a brief time at the slope as the skiing was really awful, but dinner that night in the 1824 House restaurant, more than made up for it. We are truly looking forward to our next visit there.
