Overview

Array of amenities for families and couples, including multiple pools, a 35,000-square-foot spa and a game room

Daily resort fee added per night

Today, Stowe teems with high-end resorts, but Topnotch Resort stands out in more ways than one. Rooms lean toward the smaller side, but guests appreciate their cozy vibe, modern furnishings and comfortable beds. The lobby's stone walls and large mounted moose head evoke a classic ski-lodge atmosphere, but the 35,000-foot spa space is anything but dated. Multiple pools, a co-ed sauna and an indoor hot tub with a waterfall tantalize spa-goers, as do the countless available spa services. Another crowd-pleaser: the zesty culinary offerings available at the two on-site dining venues, Flannel and The Roost. What's more, the staff is said to be nothing short of topnotch.
