Remember epic film The Sound of Music about the von Trapp family and their flight from Nazi Europe? Well, this is where they landed, in Stowe, Vermont, on an enchanted farm with sweeping mountain vistas reminiscent of their beloved Austria. Still owned by the von Trapp family, their home is now a striking alpine lodge set in a magnificent outdoor playground. If you’re holidaying in winter you can enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides and there is superb skiing nearby, with the 3-mile trip by snowshoe or cross country skis to the charming Slayton Pasture Cabin for hot chocolate definitely worth the effort in the winter months. In summer, there’s hiking in the mountains, cycling, horse-riding and bird watching. In fact, the list is endless. Accommodation is extremely comfortable with plenty of home-from-home comforts. Splash around in the outdoor pool when the weather’s warm or head indoors to the health centre to swim a few laps. The kids will love spending time in their very own activity centre with fishing trips on the agenda, guided hikes, scavenger hunts and good old fashioned singalongs around the campfire come sundown. Dine in style at the main restaurant, feasting on Vermont and Austrian cuisine, including speciality dish Trapp Wiener Schnitzel. The Lodge also boasts its very own brewery – sample the range whilst listening to Jazz piano.

We were super excited about our stay at this resort, however, there were a number of misses And quite frankly, we have no interest in coming again.. After we made our reservation, apparently the breakfast price increased. This was an item included in our favorite things package, so there should have been no additional charge for the breakfast buffet. However, due to Management's decision to increased breakfast prices, and their decision to retroactively. Add this to existing reservations, we ended up paying an additional $2٫20 per day for the included breakfast buffet. This up charge was never communicated to us and in the reservation it stated clearly all fees and taxes included. So far the resort has refused to refund the money And a message left for the manager has not been returned. This is such poor customer service. In addition, staff had incomplete knowledge of the events and amenities at the resort on multiple occasions. Please note that If you don't elect to opt out of texts or emails, you will get a ton of them regarding check-in, checkout, reconfirming reservations for meals, confirming that tours are upcoming, etc. despite all of this excessive communication, a lodge tour that we had selected was canceled and We only found out about this when we showed up at front desk to join the tour. The upsides were that there are a lot of nice trails on the property and the bird watching tour is excellent. However, we expected much more out of a resort that purports to be top-notch. Read less
another day in the mountains

we love visiting the lodge. things need attention like the road to the guest houses. i understand you had a lot of rain. Housekeeping needs supervision or instructions to vacuum under cushions for food crumbs . the main lodge need attention in the B/R before D/R very dusty along the floor in the stalls
The hills were alive...

Loved my stay at the resort--the room was great; walking trails great and easy to NOT get lost. Make sure you take part in all the offered free tours. So informative and fun! Bring some apples so you can feed the cows. Restaurants are a bit pricey, but a lot of local ones can be found down the hill in Stowe or Waterbury.
Wonderful Resort with Lots to do and Friendly Staff - Clean/New rooms too!

I had a great experience here and can't wait to bring back family & friends! My husband and I came for a 3 day visit and we loved everything from the friendly staff, to the fresh food, to the beer, hikes, history, gym, and hot tub. Shout out to Sean and Shane in the dining room, Suzanne at the BierHall, Bob the guide, Bob S in group sales, and all the other attentive staff. Even the housekeepers were friendly! There was lots to do, the entire resort was clean from top to bottom, and our rooms were newly renovated. If only the weather opoerated:) But there was so much to see and do, it didn't matter. Hurry up and stay here - you will be happy you did! Read less
