A Vermont Inn Since 1949
Nestled at the foot of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen in Waitsfield, Vermont, the Hyde Away Inn has been a gathering place for skiers, locals, and wanderers since 1949. What began as the Ulla Lodge — one of the original five lodging properties built for Mad River Glen’s first ski season — has grown into one of the Mad River Valley’s most beloved inns, known for its warmth, its history, and its legendary tavern.
Whether you’re chasing powder at Sugarbush Resort or exploring the Green Mountains in summer, the Hyde Away offers cozy lodging near Sugarbush that feels nothing like a hotel. Choose from 8 comfortable rooms or the private Hyde Away House — several with pet-friendly outdoor access — and wake up to breakfast each morning before hitting the slopes or the trails.
Our restaurant in Waitsfield, VT serves hearty New American cuisine seven nights a week, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a menu built to fuel whatever adventure brought you here. From the dining room to the seasonal outdoor deck overlooking the pond, great food and fair prices have always been the Hyde Away way.
Then there’s the Tavern — an authentic Vermont après-ski bar that SKI Magazine has called a place “where Sugarbush and Mad River regulars have long gathered for microbrews and good grub.” Pull up a stool, pick from a rotating selection of Vermont craft beers on tap, and settle in. The floors may have a bit of a lean to them. That’s just part of the charm.
The Hyde Away is also one of the Mad River Valley’s top event venues, with spaces for groups of 20 to 120 — ideal for Vermont wedding receptions, family reunions, corporate retreats, and ski trip gatherings. Lodging, dining, and a full bar under one roof makes planning refreshingly simple. Whatever brings you to Waitsfield, Vermont, we hope to see you at the Hyde Away.
