  • An unscripted film about the community we call Vermont's Mad River Valley. We like to say 'they come for the mountains, but they stay for the valley.' In this video you will see local farmers, business people, tourists, barns, markets, craft beer, music festivals, skiing, kayaking, running, biking, swimming, golfing and more. Basically everything that steers our community toward the relaxing and enjoyable place it is. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy living, working and playing here in the Mad River Valley.

    Hat's off to Mt. Mansfield Media for producing this excellent video. It seems to truly capture what it's like to live in the Mad River Valley of Vermont.
    Come for the mountains, stay for the valley... indeed

    if this place is truly the gem described in the video...then i dont think i would be sharing it with the whole world. i feel places like this are bettered discovered through self discovery and people you meet along the way, not social media

    It's not quite Heaven, but it's Almost There. I am incredibly pleased with how this documentary portrays the MRV. It's unscripted and genuine. Well done.

      I agree, it casts the Valley in a positive light without being insincere or fluffy. Well done.

    I sit for hours watching the cams, I have been next door at New Hampshire I wished we could have visited you. Maybe when this COVID thing has died down, I will board a plane for 19hrs, then another couple hrs on a smaller plane. First place is Warren Store, where I can wave to my family on the web cam. 😊

    God, I love that area... My wife and I visit as much as we can...We don't ski just come for the life.. Love the valley and the people. We don't have to do anything but just be when we're there... And we stay at the wonderful White Horse Inn.. Bob and Allen work hard to make your stay amazing... We may consider moving there when I retire..

    not to be a downer, but it seems more like an ad, targeting people from new york city and boston to come and move in? i grew up in the mad river valley, and it needs to stay a "well-kept" secret. maybe a "as well-kept as possible secret"?

      The film is unscripted. It's actually 'selling' the dream of this little place we call the MRV. We think people visit places they wish they could live. In fact, much of our community here is made up of people who visited at one point. This film represents the authentic mad river valley, which is more than just a place to visit. That is the story we shot for and the story you now see. Really great things are never a secret, they are just protected by those who realize how great they are.

      We are from NYC and discovered the Mad River Valley in 2011 when my husband suggested we go there so he could attend the tennis programs at Sugarbush and at The Bridges. We've spent every summer there since and my husband is always telling me not to tell anyone about the place so that it remains the gem we fell in love with. LOL.

      @@madrivervalley7215 We watched this video in 2016 then visited for 10th Anniversary and then worked our butts off to fix our old house and move here from NJ in 2018. People moving here hope to add to this community not to change it to the one we came from we had enough of that there.

    Everything? I'd like to say... the valley doesn't have an OCEAN and ...ah.. and... ahh ... and it doesn't have an ocean either ..does it ? .. and ... oh yea no ocean. :-)
    Mount Mansfield Media did a fantastic portrayal of my favorite place in the whole world. Made me cryed for home.
    Just one critique. The IndianaJones hillbilly calling the cows ... he can't be for real.. is he? He so over the top he's got to be hired actor. Right ?

      There’s very little historic or current diversity in Vermont, because, to put it straight, we didn’t “buy anyone” in the past centuries, But does have history of helping everyone of all origins. Burlington has large refugee community. Urban or rural, Vermont is very accepting and you should have nothing to worry about
