by Eric H., VisitingNewEngland.com (article posted on Dec. 11, 2007)

Whether winter, spring summer and fall, Stowe VT remains a beloved Vermont travel destination. More than 35 years ago, my parents took us to Stowe and we have been coming back ever since. The appeal is timeless: The classic village downtown with general store, the tall white church steeple majestically rising above the village, myriad restaurants, hotels and shopping opportunities, and some of the best mountain scenery in New England is just a fraction of what makes Stowe so special.

Stowe is home to Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield at 4,393 ft. -- the perfect New England ski destination or place to hike in the warmer weather (not an easy walk but, nonetheless, stunningly beautiful. Other attractions include a bike trail, golf, tennis, outdoor concerts and the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory in neighboring Waterbury, VT. For dining, we especially like the Shed, a large, extremely comfortable restaurant with an indoor garden dining area, popular bar section, tasty beer-soaked burgers and terrific steak, chicken, seafood, salad and soup selections.

Stowe is perfect for families, romantic couples, outdoor enthusiasts and just about anyone else who enjoys a relaxing, scenic setting with plenty to do. It is our favorite Vermont vacation destination.

Stowe Pros: One of New England's prettiest downtowns, Mt. Mansfield ski and hiking, Ben and Jerry's ice cream tour and sampling, overall recreational opportunities rank amongst best in New England. Incredible fall foliage! Hot summer days tempered by cool, refreshing mountain nights.

Stowe Cons: Mountain Rd. is becoming a bit too commercial and with too much traffic. Some traditional hotels have become too expensive for middle-class families.
