The Pitcher Inn

The Pitcher Inn is one of only twelve Forbes Five Star hotels in New England, an eleven-room boutique property in the Mad River Valley village of Warren that has been called the most meticulously detailed small hotel in America. Each room is designed around a specific Vermont theme — Mountain, Trout, Barn, Scholar — with details obsessively researched and hand-crafted. The inn's private spa features a sauna, steam room, and a soaking tub with direct access to the Mad River, enabling one of New England's most authentic heat-and-cold bathing sequences: sauna to river. Warren is home to Mad River Glen, the only major cooperative-owned ski area in the country, making the Pitcher Inn the sauna anchor of Vermont's most fiercely independent skiing culture.
