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.

A lovely escape to the mountains of Vermont with an Austrian flare. There are Wurst vacations by far.
Destination wedding
Jul 14, 2024lwhitney1129Old Saybrook, Connecticut
No detail was overlooked. The weather was an uninvited guest but the staff was able to work around it with a “can do” attitude. The sun came out just as the bride reached the stage. The pictures ate stunning with the mountains in the background
Lovely stay

Garden needs care. No benches to rest on long walks. I had to turn back from maple trip. Put in rest

Felt like I was in Austria!

The history of the Von Trapp family made it such a charming place. Had to remind myself that I was still in the US as it reminded me so much of an Austrian Lodge. Balcony was the best. Were able to watch the Fourth of July fireworks in Stowe from the backyard of the Lodge. The trails on the property were a nice treat. Fun experience!
