Stayed here for one night, and enjoyed it! The Griff reminds me of grandmas home! Super clean, and cutesy with the old decor. I loved the down pillows and blankets where very soft (husband is more memory foam kinda guy and did not enjoy the pillows as much as me). Biggest “complaint” which I wouldn’t even say is a complaint is that the shades are very sheer so the room was very bright from the lights outside, lights shine through the old doors in the hallway, which all made it difficult to sleep with how bright it was. Otherwise the grab and go breakfast was perfect when we were in a rush leaving. Thank you for keeping it old school
Very charming BnB with great hosts! Welcoming main level. Clean comfortable room/bed. Well situated in Mad River Valley. Very close to good breakfast places, coffee, grocery, restaurants, Von Trapp dairy Farmstead, and other local pristine farm stands.
We are frequent visitors to the Mad River Valley and the Griff Inn is by far one of the best places we have stayed. The overall feel is welcoming and communication with the inn's owners is easy and excellent. If you like clean and well maintained ( who doesn't?) this is the place for you. Room are small with private baths...comfortable beds and lovely bedding and towels. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay at the Griff Inn! The location was beautiful and the room was the perfect size. Brady was so helpful and kind, we loved chatting with him throughout our stay and really appreciated his recommendations on what to do and where to eat. We’re really looking forward to our next stay at the Griff Inn, it will definitely be our « go to » whenever we return to Vermont :-).
Wonderful stay at the Griff! Literally had the best sleep I've had in years, the room was comfortable and cozy. Loved waking up to a fire in the mornings in the common areas. Else and Brady are great hosts and the location is perfect for experiencing Vermont charm. Can't wait to go back!
We had the most wonderful stay at the Griff inn!! The house is so comfy and cozy and had so much charm. It was also SO clean. The inn keepers were so sweet and I feel like I’ve made friends for life! If you’re thinking about booking this place, DO IT!! 10/10.
We had a wonderful stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We appreciated the coffee and grab and go breakfast in the morning. The owners are very nice and were always available when you needed them but they didn’t hover. Plenty of parking. Lots of restaurants, bars and breweries nearby. Great hiking in the area.
This place was great. Stayed overnight for the Mad Marathon in Waitsfield. It was about 2 miles away, and the owner gave us a late checkout so I could re-group and get cleaned up after the race. They were super-friendly, as we had a late check-in as well, and they gave some good tips for local restaurants. Thanks!
Across the road from Mill Brook, this 19th-century family-run inn is 2.7 miles from the ski slopes of Mad River Glen Cooperative, and 3.1 miles from Waitsfield.
