The Yellow Farmhouse Inn is a bed and breakfast in Waitsfield, VT – in the beautiful Mad River Valley – with high Trip Advisor ratings and an ADA-accessible room (the Morgan Ashlee room).  Mad River Valley has a host of all-season activities, including two ski areas: Sugarbush Resort and Mad River “ski it if you can” Glen.  I have not been to this inn myself, but I have spoken with the owner and it’s on my “to go” list.  They currently have a special ski package being offered through Trip Advisor.   Prices start at $219/night.

Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports runs accessible ski programs through the Mt. Ellen Base Lodge, at Sugarbush Resort in Waitsfield, VT.  We plan to check it out with Marianne this January and will let you know how it goes.

Sugarbush Resort does have some ADA-accessible condos for rent at their luxury, ski-in/ski-out Claybrook Residence.  These units are in a hotel-like set-up (general entrance is through a main lobby, and the units are accessible by elevator) and individually owned.  They are very pricey, starting at $880/night on a non-holiday weekend for a 1-bedroom condo unit (which sleeps 4).   Because the units are individually owned, they do not meet standard ADA requirements, and so although I was assured doorways were wider and there were grab bars in the bathroom, none of the units have a roll-in shower.  The fitness center, in the building, is accessible and has accessible, roll-in showers.  There is an outdoor heated pool, but there is no lift for pool access.
