-Stowe

  • About -Stowe

    Stowe is a great family get away. We went in the winter. At the time, it was the biggest hill the kids had skied at so they were in heaven. I’m not a skier so I spent my days at the spa, antiquing and check out the town. We rented a “ski in, ski out” place (there are tons of these). They are a great option with the family. If you want a splurge, stay at Top Notch or Stowe Mountain lodge.
