It's shared spaces are nice, lounge and bar, fire pit, hot tub, and it is close to downtown Stowe so you can walk most everywhere. The staff were friendly and the lobby was well stocked with coffee, snacks, etc. And, breakfast was good.

Marilyn

Liked: Cleanliness
Our room was just okay. We were on the lower level of the Trailhouse building overlooking the pool which was half closed for the season and the grounds were very messy. Our room was nice, and the bed was comfortable, but it felt like we were staying in someone’s basement. We would also not recommend staying here midweek when the bar is closed as the property didn’t have the vibe that we expected based on other reviews. If we return to Stowe again in the Fall we will likely stay somewhere else.

Stayed in a room that was probably the worst I have stayed in the states. The bathroom was exceptionally small shower was about 40” square the total bathroom was very very small no place for toiletries to sit at all. No closet in the room. I would never ever recommend that place to anyone.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Horrible place to stay if you want to get rest, take a shower or walk on floors that are flat. Live music at the bar that they dont disclose on their website with bass vibrating the bed and walls on the third floor. Shower too small to change your mind in. Floors so crooked that you feel like you have vertigo. Breakfast was not good, very minimal and got cold sitting out. No elevators so heavy luggage is rough to carry to top floor. Full disclosure they gave me half back on our room the second night bc of the noise. Never again, way way overpriced.

This is a great property to stay in. There was a restaurant right across the street one a little ways down that you could walk to and plenty of options a short drive away. I would have given that hotel five stars except the building we stayed and did not have an elevator, and we were older people that had to carry our luggage up and down two flights upstairs to our hotel room
