The hotel

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 visited the Bierhall on a vacation to Vermont two years ago and decided to book a stay at the lodge. The views are gorgeous, the rooms were big, and the grounds are amazing. It is colder than expected in the mountains, so bring layers!

This is a must do place to visit with an incredible location, staff that goes well beyond expectations, and incredible food. Plenty to do…you need to stay at least a few days.

Went up to the Lodge for anniversary dinner, food was awesome particularly the Sacher Torte, service less so, seemed very overwhelmed...Although I did not say anything there was an orange seed in my Champagne, kind of a turn off. Setting is just breathtaking!

We loved the beautiful grounds and lodge, the hiking, meeting the cows and the wine tasting in the cellar.
