Stowe is a picture postcard New England village, with a white church
steeple marking its center, general stores, galleries and a wide range
of options for eating out.
There are plenty of lodging choices from
four-star resorts to 150-year-old, B&Bs. Dating back to the early
1800s as an old stagecoach town, Stowe is one of America’s oldest
tourist destinations. Skiing came early to Stowe—it’s one of America's
first ski resorts and, as with many of the resorts that followed, the
skiing is quite separate from the village. In Stowe’s case, the foot of
the mountain is 6 miles distant (9.6 km). There is a regular shuttle
bus service that takes people from the village to the mountain with
regular stops along Mountain Road.
