Waitsfield is located in the heart of the Mad River Valley. It is surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, including the Green Mountains and the Mad River. It's also home to Irasville, the “downtown” of the Mad River Valley. This is a place where the local traditions of community, conservation, recreation, agriculture, commerce, and civic engagement continue to be valued.
