Stowe needs no introduction to its famous outdoor resort facilities. The Bears Lair Inn is perfectly situated to take advantage of these activities in every season of the year. Cross-country ski trails leave right from the front door, and during the warm months, a 5.3-mile bike and walking path winds through some of Vermont’s most splendid scenery, crossing wooden bridges and working farms. The inn resembles a Swiss chalet, while the interior decor has a homey, country feel. Some guest rooms feature canopy, brass or sleigh beds; others boast a spa. If the night is star filled, an outdoor hot tub makes a fun nightcap. In the morning, a light breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade muffins and cereal is followed by a more substantial one of waffles with homemade raspberry sauce, apple-cinnamon pancakes, or eggs Benedict. During the summer you’ll enjoy this in the patio garden. The center of Stowe is only a stroll away along the recreation path. Here you can browse through the numerous antique and craft shops.

Wonderful home away from home!

The Timberholm Inn was a fabulous Vermont experience. Not only is the town of Stowe full of things to do and beautiful scenery to gaze at but the Timberholm Inn was like a home away from home (but even better than our current home as it had a hot tub, fireplace, games to play, etc.) to go back to each evening. After a busy day of hiking, shopping, zip lining, and sightseeing, relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine was a fabulous way to end the day. To top it off, we would wake up the next morning with an awesome chef-quality breakfast to energize us for the new day. We LOVED Tom's ability to cook! It was by far some of the best breakfast we have had. I would suggest the Inn to anyone that would like a nice cozy home away from home while in Vermont. It was fabulous!!

I stayed at The Honeywood last a couple of weeks ago. It was recommended by another Inn, and it was a great choice. The Inn is really close to the mountain, and the hot tub was sooo relaxing after a day on the mountain. The breakfast is delicious, and the hot cider and home baked cookies a treat after a whole day on the mountain. You need to try the Honeywood when in Stowe. B&S
