The Featherbed Inn & Nordic Spa - Waitsfield

TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2023 Bed & Breakfast on 20 Acres with Direct Trail Access

Accommodations & Grounds

The Featherbed Inn occupies one of the oldest buildings in Waitsfield, set on 20 acres with a swimming pond, outdoor hot tub, and fire pits. Large accommodations come with premium bedding and air conditioning; select rooms are dog-friendly for an additional fee. The grounds include spacious gardens, a gazebo, and an outdoor fireplace for guest use.

Dining

A different three-course breakfast is served each morning, made with locally sourced and organic ingredients. The inn caters to dietary needs and special requests; guests frequently praise the scones and innovative dishes. Breakfast is served with communal seating, allowing guests to connect over gourmet fare.

Wellness & Nordic Spa

The Featherbed Inn & Nordic Spa offers a hand-built cedar sauna, a cold plunge, and a hot tub for guest relaxation. Yoga classes are available on the property, and the sauna's design resembles a sugaring shack with extra-wide benches. The Nordic Spa area also features a warming room and is steps from the main building.

Location & Activities

The Featherbed Connector trail provides direct access to over 40 miles of maintained mountain biking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing trails. Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen are minutes away, and Lawson's Famous Liquids Brewery is nearby. Guests can also hike, bike, paddle, and golf in warmer months, and the autumn foliage season draws many visitors.

Family & Pet-Friendly Policies

Children of all ages are welcome; the inn provides an indoor play area, board games, and a games room. Dog-friendly rooms are available in designated cottages and the main house, with additional fees. Families also use the swimming pond, hot tub, and outdoor spaces, and the hosts offer booster seats and baby monitors upon request.
