Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa

About The Hotel

From $103/night — Stowe’s cheapest resort option, but with significant caveats. Stoweflake is a 3.9-rated full-service resort and spa under new management and mid-renovation, so experiences vary widely. Guests report the lowest nightly rates in town, an indoor heated pool, an outdoor hot tub, fireplace rooms, and genuinely friendly front-desk staff. But reviews also cite dated rooms, thin walls, an undisclosed ~$20 resort fee, and a spa that’s been closed or under rebuild. The value score (3.6) reflects these trade-offs. A renovated room in a quiet part of the property, away from bar and conference areas, will serve you far better than a dated one. Confirm the spa status and room renovation before booking. Best for budget-conscious travelers and families willing to be selective.

What Guests Are Saying

“My neighbor and I wanted to used our Epic passes to ski at Stowe, so we chose a Monday and Tuesday and stayed in town. There are many different TripAdvisor sites for this one location. The reviews vary drastically. After skiing we stoped at the brewery next door to the Stoweflake, and then checked in around 5 with Kelly. It was fast and sweet. So were the cookies by the fireplace in the lobby. She told us breakfast started at 7am. We walked around and found the very nice pool and extensive workout facility. We brought our own equipment and played racquetball. Dinner was across the street at Piecasso, and was chicken Parmesan for me and a great big burger with excellent fries for Jim. The room had a fireplace and was clean and newly remodeled. The whole place was huge and is the largest conference center in Vermont. Breakfast was hard boiled eggs, hot and cold cereals, muffins and danish, apples and oranges, yogurt, bagels, orange juice and coffee. The dining area was like a relaxation area with games and a sunken fireplace. There was an arcade as well. We had a great stay and he and his girlfriend are returning next weekend.” — John P., 5 stars

“Amazing get away! We enjoyed our room, great amenities. Spa was closed but looks like a new one is on its way! We have stayed here many time and the staff is always very pleasant and accommodating.
