Reviews had informed us that a previously neglected Stowflake was in the process of upgrading, and guests had reported some shabby grounds and common areas. We booked because they didn't require a two-night minimum, and the price was fine, worth taking a risk on. When we arrived, it was clear the grounds had received some attention with some nice plantings, though it was also clear the driveway was on the to-do list of upgrade projects. The common areas were fine, though replacing the hallway carpets is another to-do project. At this time there is a focus on reopening the spa, which seems to be where the money is going. We had confusion over our booking (the date we booked the room had been entered as the night of our reservation, so we didn't have a room reserved for the night we showed up), but the desk clerk was very helpful, and found us a room for the rate of the room we thought we had booked, which he said was all that he had the authority to do, but told us we should speak to the manager the next day. We did so, and she apologized for the confusion, and waived the room fee we had been charged. The room itself, a deluxe king, was a lovely room with spa and fireplace, well appointed, clean and comfortable. The Stowflake is clearly on the rise back, and we enjoyed staying there, and appreciated how the staff managed the booking problem.

“Stay at Stoweflake”

I was very pleased with the staff and the accommodations I had while I was at the Stoweflake. I highly recommend the Stoweflake without any reservation.

“A comfy Vermont experience.”

I came here with a group. The Stoweflake is old-school Vermont in the best way. While other properties in the area are busy updating their look, trying to come across as some posh Nordic resort, the Stoweflake still has that simple charm that put Vermont on the map: large, cozy rooms, great views... more

I came here with a group. The Stoweflake is old-school Vermont in the best way. While other properties in the area are busy updating their look, trying to come across as some posh Nordic resort, the Stoweflake still has that simple charm that put Vermont on the map: large, cozy rooms, great views and a very friendly staff. And, of course, quick access to skiing, mountain biking, hiking (many trailheads are literally on the edge of the parking lot).

“Nice location and people but I’d stay elsewhere.”

Nice people and location but property is pretty old and needs renovation. Carpets looked old and there was a musty smell about the property. Parking lot surface was pretty “tore up” with potholes and cracks. Landscaping was overgrown and appeared to be neglected. Restaurant, bar and spa at l... more

Nice people and location but property is pretty old and needs renovation. Carpets looked old and there was a musty smell about the property. Parking lot surface was pretty “tore up” with potholes and cracks. Landscaping was overgrown and appeared to be neglected. Restaurant, bar and spa at location all closed (permanently?!). Not much in the way of amenities, poolside bbq offered but had a “trailer park” feel to it, so we chose to eat in town. This can happen anywhere but we got to hear a couple fighting in another room or maybe the hallway. It was a pretty loud argument that included a door being slammed. In the future I’d stay elsewhere.
