Things To Do
The Alchemist Stowe
Heady Topper...need we say more?
Idletyme Brewing Company
We went here on our first trip to Stowe for a bite to eat and drinks in their tap room and loved it! Great spot with a popcorn machine, delicious beers and bites to eat. We HIGHLY recommend the Vermont Cheese Fritters!
Von Trapp Family Lodge and Brewery
Whether you want to dance in the fields and sing like Maria did in the Sound of Music, or simply drink a beer in their Austrian style brewery, the Von Trapp Family Lodge is a must see for first time Stowe visitors. In the early 1940s, the von Trapp family toured the United States as the Trapp Family Singers before eventually settling in Stowe, Vermont on an enchanted farm with sweeping mountain vistas reminiscent of their beloved Austria.
Doc Ponds
Very cool spot for awesome food and drinks...for both large and small bites!
Lost Nation Brewing
This brewery is about 20 minutes from the heart of Stowe.
Hiking Mount Mansfield
There are a TON of hiking options to get outside and enjoy the beautiful area. Mount Mansfield is the mountain that Stowe Mountain and Smugglers' Notch share. It is the highest peak in Vermont. The hiking guide provided in the link has a lot of great options, both short and long, that will provide you with great views. Another way to see the sights is to ride the gondola up the mountain. There are also trails right from Smugglers' Notch Resort. Please be aware that the suggested times it takes to do the hikes are fairly accurate so plan accordingly. We hiked the Long Trail to the Chin and despite Casey practically running up the mountain and setting a blazing pace, it still took us well over 3 hours....and we were sore for at least 2 days after!!
Stowe Bike Path
This is a great path to walk, run or bike on that is right along Mountain Road. It weaves in and out of the woods, over small bridges and past the restaurants and stores.
Piecasso
The pizza here gets great reviews!
The Bench
Great dinner place with a wood fired oven and good meals.
Hen of the Wood - Waterbury
For a nicer, dressier dinner place, this is a restaurant that comes highly recommended.
Stowe Mountain Resort
Whether you want to explore the village at Stowe Mountain Resort or ride the gondola up the mountain, this is as close to a Colorado mountain feel as you will get in Vermont!
Cabot Cheese Factory
Nothing says a tourist stop like the Vermont Cabot Cheese Factory!
Ben & Jerry's Factory
This is a famous tourist stop in the area!
