We recently stayed at the Stowe Village Inn, specifically in the motel building, while traveling through the northeast. The building has been beautifully renovated while still maintaining its classic charm; you can tell this was a passion project for the owners. The seating areas throughout the lobby are intentionally designed, from the furniture and wallpaper choices to the figurines and board games on the shelves. Small details, like quality teas and soaps, were a nice little touch that elevated the accommodations. Our room in the motel was a minute walk from the main building and nicely renovated in line with the rest of the property. The design thoughtfully combined the building’s original charm with modern design choices and technology. We really enjoyed our stay and had an excellent experience overall. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others or return ourselves in the future.

“Enjoyed our stay”

We enjoyed our stay and would return. It’s a beautiful property with a great location. The staff was helpful, room was comfortable and clean.

We enjoyed our stay and would return. It’s a beautiful property with a great location. The staff was helpful, room was comfortable and clean. If I had to knit pick two things, a handrail in the shower would be helpful as it can be slippery and unless we were told wrong I wish guests could sit on the front porch without going to the restaurant. The side porch was nice and served us well, but the front porch would have been nice. And about the handrail yes I realize showers are slippery. But our shower was a walk in that was only half enclosed with glass. Honestly I was concerned water was going to run out into the floor as it’s not deep. Anyways just be careful.

“Attention to detail wins the day!”

Staying at Stowe Village Inn is like visiting a cozy ski lodge! A great place to stay any season and so many unexpected perks for the value. A huge shout out to Amanda who was so friendly, personable and helpful. She offered lots of great tips from a local's perspective and was a joy to interact with during our visit. We appreciated the text to know when our room was ready and asking what temperature we like our room to be (this attention to detail really counts). Customer service here is off the charts and everyone who walks in the front door is treated with compassion and caring. Some of our highlights were the coffee (amazing roast with beans you can buy to take home) or tea available all day in gorgeous, to-die-for mugs. This is not any ordinary coffee bar - there is actual milk (not artificial creamer). We also loved the lavender or lemongrass local Vermont soap! As other reviews have mentioned, the walkability is a key feature here. Just a little off the main drag but across from the covered pedestrian bridge and close to the action - restaurants, shops, markets, etc...you will not need to drive once you park your car (free parking). Rooms: As other reviews have noted, rooms are modern from the recent remodel. They are not fancy but the little touches make the stay a little better such as the Pendleton woolen blanket for the cooler days and local soap. The bed was super comfortable too. The queen balcony room seems a bit small and does face out onto a busy road; it is possible that foregoing the balcony would yield a larger space if that is a consideration. That was not an issue for us as we used the common areas downstairs for hanging out and enjoying take away from the Ranch Camp and Avocado Pit. The common area tables and chairs were also modern and clean. It should be noted that this is a historic inn not a luxury resort and should not be compared to one. It has the rustic charm, amenities, and value wrapped into one nice and friendly package!

We stayed here for 6 nights for skiing. We had two rooms in the original inn. The inn is really comfortable. Our rooms were spacious and clean with comfortable beds and big screen TV’s. We had a king suite and a queen double. The place is spotless and the staff friendly. Housekeeping does a super job. Bathrooms offered plenty of hot water and wonderful towels. Everything has been recently remodeled. No breakfast available at the inn but they do have a great restaurant right inside the inn that opens at 4 pm. We ate dinner there 4 nights. After skiing you often don’t want to go out. Especially when it’s 10 below. The inn offers several gathering places inside to hang out , socialize and watch tv or play board games. Regarding the skiing part of our arrangement. We did not have a car which was not a big handicap. We took the 108 mountain road bus every morning up to the mountain. Bus service is reliable and you get on early enough in the route that we always could get a seat. The downside is the bus stop is about 5-10 minute walk after you cross a busy street. In ski boots on snowy sidewalks it’s not optimal. The city is good about plowing all the side walks. On the way back the bus driver can either drop you off right at the door of the inn which is awesome but they don’t always do that. Sometimes they take you to the next stop and you have the cross that busy street wearing ski boot twice to get to the inn. So bottom line , the bus situation isn’t perfect solution but it’s manageable. The inn could use a place for storing skis. Otherwise you have to haul them up to your room each night. And there is no where on the mountain to leave them either which was curious to us. So you’re hauling your equipment back and forth on the bus. Again not a perfect solution. We enjoyed staying there and recommend the Stowe village inn as long as you’re prepared to walk and carry your equipment each day. We never visited any of the accommodations other than the main inn. I would try to book a room in the main inn. The king suite was awesome.
