The Pitcher Inn

The Pitcher Inn is the most intimate and architecturally distinctive Relais & Châteaux property in New England, an 11-room inn tucked into the tiny village of Warren in Vermont's Mad River Valley, minutes from Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen, where each guest room is individually designed around a Vermont theme so specific and fully realized that no two rooms share a sensibility. The culinary program under Chef Jacob Ennis is farm-to-table in the most literal sense, drawing from locally gathered wild mushrooms, Vermont artisan cheeses, and the region's finest seafood and meats for a menu that changes with the seasons and earns its own loyal following among guests who return as much for the food as for the skiing. For planners, the Pitcher Inn excels at the format it was made for: small executive retreats and leadership off-sites for groups of up to 12, with the option to reserve a private wine cellar dinner or the Brook Room for gatherings up to 30, and the ability to take the entire inn on an exclusive buyout. The property is not a conference hotel, and it does not pretend to be. What it offers instead is a level of discretion, culinary quality, and environmental beauty that makes the right kind of small meeting genuinely transformative.
