Overview

It was the early 1960’s when the Baraw family first opened the Stoweflake Mountain Resort, developing it over the course of 50 years from a modest inn located in the heart of Stowe into a luxury resort growing to include townhomes, gardens and an award-winning spa. The resort remains in the Baraw family, with the original innkeeper’s son and granddaughter currently leading the charge to provide four-diamond service and amenities, while keeping to its mission of sharing the best of the Green Mountains with visitors.

The Baraws are fixtures within the Stowe community, and they aim to pamper you — you’ll feel as if you have stepped into their home with their warm welcome and desire to please. One visit to Stoweflake and your children will recognize the Baraws by name, and vice versa. It’s the juxtaposition of feeling-at-home comfort combined with the bells and whistles of a beautiful mountain resort that make it a destination hotel that families return to year after year.

Reviews

Nice place but could use updating

by KaseyLindemann

The room was very clean and had a nice fireplace but could really use some updating. The wallpaper was peeling and the carpets seemed super old. The massage therapist i had also talked through the whole massage and it was not very relaxing.

Peaceful, beautiful, and refreshing!

by Stay425506

We stayed at this resort for an anniversary weekend in early November, and had a really wonderful time. Check in was easy, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, with a comfortable bed and cozy fireplace. We used the spa and I was absolutely blown away! I've been to a variety of other resorts and spas, and we both felt that the amenities and service at Stoweflake were impressive. The location was also really perfect, as we were right in the heart of Stowe and only a quick walk or drive from everywhere we wanted to go. Plenty of free parking at the resort and around town was another plus!

The Art of Smart Timing
Stowe was once a summer destination for the wealthy and elite coming from New York City and Boston, in the days pre-dating air-conditioning. Over the course of time, it became even more popular as a winter destination due to the Stowe Mountain Resort ski area, which mimics those found out west.

Deciding between summer and winter is as simple as determining what activities your family is looking to enjoy. Fall is also a beautiful time to be in Stowe, as Vermont's foliage is world famous. Spring, however, is jokingly referred to by locals as "Mud Season," and not the best time to visit.

Getting There
Stowe is located in upstate Vermont, near the Burlington International Airport, which is serviced by major airlines. The resort is about 30 minutes from Burlington. The area is also accessible via Amtrak railway, with the nearest stop the Waterbury-Stowe train depot. Many visitors to the area come from the Northeast and by car. Stowe is about a three-hour drive from Boston and New York City.

Getting Around
Although a quintessential, small New England town, to best enjoy the mountains and the surrounding outdoor area, guests will want to have a car. For those staying at the resort and looking to hit the slopes, enjoy complimentary shuttle service to Stowe Mountain Resort.

For Mom and Dad
The 50,000-square-foot Spa at Stoweflake features 120 treatments, including the 80-minute signature Vermont Maple Sugar Body Polish and the Green Mountain Coffee Body Treatment. The spa offers traditional services, Ayurvedic treatments, sound balancing, Eastern bodywork, facials, massages, manicures, pedicures and salon services. Be sure to enjoy the spa's Hungarian Mineral Bath and the Aqua Solarium, which features hydrotherapy waterfalls. The spa features saunas, Jacuzzis, workout rooms, yoga and exercise classes, too.
