All the cozy fall vibes are in the air, and if you’re looking for an amazing autumn getaway, look no further than Stowe, Vermont. Breathtaking views, bustling breweries, cozy cabins – and even cozier cows – are just a few of the things you might encounter on your weekend getaway here. Read on to see where we recommend staying, sleeping, and playing for a perfect few days in the heart of New England.
Where to Stay in Stowe
Your weekend starts with a stay at The Lodge at Spruce Peak – and of course, it comes with Well Traveled Member Perks.
Situated at the base of Mount Mansfield and Stowe Mountain Resort, this recently refurbished resort is home to 250 rooms, suites, and luxury cabins that can accommodate solo travelers, families, friends, and even dogs. Plus fine dining and many amenities. On top of luxury accommodations, The Lodge features ample amenities including a heated outdoor swimming pool, an ice skating rink, a world-class spa and wellness center, farm-to-table fine dining options, golf, plus an entire on-site village full of cute coffee shops, candy stores, shopping, and more (whew, that’s a lot!). It’s also worth mentioning that it’s Stowe’s only ski-in-ski-out resort on the mountain, making it a perfect winter getaway as well.
In addition to all the amazing accommodations and amenities, your Well Traveled Member Perks also come along for the adventure, including:
Upgrade on arrival (subject to availability)
Daily breakfast for two
$100 USD food & beverage credit
Early check-in/late check-out (subject to availability)
Although there are plenty of onsite dining options to explore at The Lodge, fellow foodies should definitely venture into town to experience all the sips and snacks your heart desires. Whether you’re looking for breakfast, beer, or light bites, you can’t go wrong with these fan-favorite dining destinations.
So you heard us mention cozy cows in our intro and now you’re here. In addition to sips, skiing, and stunning views, there’s a whole lot of fall fun to be had around Stowe and its surroundings.
Check out some of the best local brews along with live music at Stowe Cider – one of the area’s best breweries with a lively atmosphere and incredible local beer selections. Plus, each sip and sound can be savored fireside, with local crowds gathering around the venue’s fireplace for live music each weekend.
If you’re into scenic short drives, a day trip to Woodstock, Vermont is a must. You’ll fall in love with the beautifully decorated houses, quaint streets filled with shopping, cute restaurants, and the prettiest views. It is an IG-famous town for a reason, so don’t forget to snap a few pics for the gram while you’re there!
If you’re here for the highland cows, this is the place for you. Pay a visit to the Trapp Family Lodge – which is still owned and operated by members of the famous Von Trapp family – and enjoy the insanely beautiful highland cattle along with other activities around the property. The cows are cute as ever and the views are simply stunning.
Experienced hiker or not, a walk through the Stowe Pinnacle Trail will quite literally be the pinnacle of your trip. Although steep and somewhat challenging, the 3.6-mile trail full of fall foliage is well worth hiking, especially once you reach its gorgeous summit.
