Most people think of Stowe as a ski retreat, which it most certainly is. But Stowe Mountain resort has taken pains to make it a year round destination with zip lines, hikes and all kind of other activities.
Including this gondola which you can ride for $28.
The lodge from the front, which offers valet parking.
And the lobby.
This is a Be-a-utiful lobby! A huge fireplace is there and lots of nooks and crannies of places to sit. It's big yet cozy. Loved it.
The book also mentions the von Trapp Family Lodge, so we went there as well.
And I learned that the von Trapp family is actually buried here. Maria and the Captain are in the middle plot and are surrounded by their children on either side.
Verdict: Yes. I absolutely loved Stowe. Whether you stay at either of these two places, you should at least visit them and at least spend a few nights in Stowe. It is beautiful year round with lots to see and do. Two thumbs up from me!
