When you’re not out enjoying the city and landscape just a short drive away, there’s plenty to help you unwind and recharge on-site. Grab a craft cocktail, local brew, or delicious plate at Eastside Bar + Bites, right on-site. Choose from the indoor dining room or al fresco dining on the cozy patio. Once you’re full, head to the pool (open in the warmer months) for sunbathing and lounging in the water. Moreover, when it’s cold, soak in the steaming hot tub or roast s’mores around the communal fire pits.
For some fresh air and blissful forest views, find a seat alongside the winding West Branch Little River that flows by on-site. Moreover, as one of the best hotels in Vermont, Outbound Stowe features direct access to the Stowe Recreation Path. This 5.3-mile-long paved trail is perfect for biking, walking, as well as admiring the surrounding meadows and forests. Outbound Stowe has the rustic charm of a boutique hotel with the nature-focused allure of a mountain lodge.

Now that you know one of the best hotels in Vermont, it’s time to plan the rest of your trip. When you visit Vermont, there are a handful of experiences you simply can’t miss.
If you’re visiting Stowe, you’ll likely want to see the sights. Luckily, there are a few good places to start. The Quechee Gorge is just an hour from Stowe and is also the deepest gorge in Vermont, at around 165 feet. This jewel of Quechee State Park draws admirers from all over to make the half-mile hike down. A bridge also overlooks the gorge and offers stunning sights of this marvel.
For a day on calm waters, consider heading to the Mad River. This pristine river is perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, and it’s also known for the famous Warren Falls and natural swimming holes. The Mad River Valley especially comes to life in the fall when the leaves begin to change, making for a breathtaking cruise on the water.
If you’re looking for a touch of history to accent your trip, Stowe has it all. First and foremost, you can take a day trip to the Bennington Battle Monument. This is the tallest man-made building in Vermont, commemorating the Battle of Bennington, a crucial victory for New England in the American Revolution. For a historic site closer to Stowe, consider also the Stowe History Museum, a former schoolhouse now home to the Stowe Historical Society. Here, you’ll find books, letters, and maps detailing Stowe’s history, as well as military artifacts.
But most notably, you’ll want to visit the Stowe Community Church. This iconic church in Stowe has the tallest steeple in Vermont and is one of the oldest non-denominational churches in the country. Founded in 1863, this lovely church has hosted beautiful services in this one-of-a-kind community.
Finally, for all your shopping, dining, and photo op needs, head to Stowe Village Historic District. This quaint little village has nearly 50 precious boutiques, vintage stores, art galleries, and specialty markets. During your time here, make sure to check out Remarkable Things at Stowe Craft, Stowe Maple Products, Ellison Estate Vineyard, and more.
