Internationally recognized as the "Aspen of the East," Stowe is one of North America's defining four-season mountain destinations. Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, anchors a ski resort with over 480 acres of terrain and a 2,360-foot vertical drop; in summer, the same mountain draws hikers, mountain bikers, and gondola riders in equal measure. The Stowe Recreation Path winds 5.3 miles through the valley, connecting the village to the resort through some of the most quietly beautiful landscape in New England. The village itself sustains a level of dining, shopping, and cultural life — Hen of the Wood, the Trapp Family Lodge, the Stowe Theatre Guild, summer farmers markets and concerts — that few resort towns its size can match. West Hill Road places the property within minutes of all of it, while 39 acres of meadow and woodland ensure the world outside arrives only when invited. Burlington International Airport (BTV) is approximately 45 minutes away; Boston's Logan International Airport (BOS) is approximately three hours south; New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is approximately four and a half hours south.
