Now, with the advent of Stowe Mountain Lodge, this unique New England town will reaffirm its place as a renowned destination for discerning world travelers.
The Perspective
For over a century Stowe has attracted the world’s most discerning travelers, who have cherished the beauty of the area’s covered bridges, sparkling lakes, rambling woodlands and majestic peaks. When it opens in fall 2007, Stowe Mountain Lodge will set a new standard of luxury and aesthetics for the East Coast’s most magnificent resort.
