Set up on a hill, the resort is private with stunning views of Mountain Mansfield in any season. Topnotch Resort’s location on the Mountain Road splits the difference between access to the mountain and town of Stowe. There is something to be said, however, for having a true resort experience, where you can be anonymous, receive a bit of pampering here and there, and enjoy not having to leave a property for activities or dining throughout the day. When traveling, I typically prefer staying at smaller, more personal establishments, like inns and B&Bs, in order to take advantage of a local’s knowledge of the area. For me, personally, Topnotch Resort is even more attractive for a summer vacation in Vermont with its lush gardens and outdoor pools. Topnotch Resort helps make Stowe a weekend (or weeklong) getaway in the summer too. It’s a place to enjoy your family or partner with privacy, comfortable accommodations and extensive amenities. The property is a true oasis with chic decor and a welcoming Vermont vibe.Ī recent renovation of the hotel has helped make it even more of a destination. Topnotch Resort, located on 120 acres off the Mountain Road in Stowe, is making the legendary ski town of Stowe even more of a destination.

But as Vermont becomes more of an international destination in all seasons, luxury resorts are stepping up their game and becoming popular choices for families and couples alike-and especially in ski towns. Wooded cabins, quaint inns and rustic lodges are quintessential Vermont lodging options.
