Best Waitsfield Hotels

My daughter and son-in- law were recently married at Lareau Farm. I cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was. My daughter who grew up in Vermont wanted to show off the best of Vermont at her wedding and Lareau Farm did not disappoint. The property is so beautiful from the quaint inn, to all the beautiful flowers throughout, the ceremony site, the Mad River that runs through the property all provided for an amazing backdrop for an amazing day. Helen, the wedding coordinator helped make my daughter's dream wedding come to fruition. She and her staff worked tirelessly to make everything happen without a hitch. She worked with all the vendors to help everything run so smoothly that all we had to do was enjoy the Wedding which we certainly did!!!!The staff in the Inn were wonderful and took care of everyone all weekend with wonderful breakfasts to getting what ever we needed such as safety pins to put everyone at ease. The Wedding night food was fantastic and folks have been raving about the pizza and Vermont Paella ever since. The lawn games and firepit were a huge hit especially at night when first time guests to Vermont could not believe the stars. We booked Lareau Farm over a year and half ago and it was wonderful to see the constant improvements to the venue; it just keeps getting better and better. In my mind Lareau Farm may be just the perfect place in the Mad River Valley to get married. Thank-you, thank-you Lareau Farm for all that you do.

Originally built in 1826 as a stagecoach stop and tavern, the inn alternated between hotel, private residence, and boarding house until 1993, when it reopened as a classic Vermont bed and breakfast and has been serving as such ever since. The Inn has retained the ambience of the original inn. There is a cozy parlor on the first floor. Drinks and breakfast are also on the first floor. We stayed on the second floor. A steep flight of stairs. We do not do stairs very well. The staff was so accommodating. They carried our bags up and down for us. The beds were very comfortable. Our room did not have a TV, not an issue, just a surprise. A full sit-down breakfast is included in the room rate. I had the granola parfait. My brother had bacon, eggs, hash browns. Both were very good. They have on-site parking. There are 2 things I would like to see: 1. a phone in the room so that you can reach the front desk without going down the stairs; 2. more surfaces on which to put your luggage. Good experience.
