Other ideal eclipse-viewing Vermont towns include Burlington, Montpelier, St  Johnsbury, Hardwick, Newport, St. Albans, Waterbury, and Winooski.

Vermont hasn’t seen a total eclipse since 1932. Learn more about the 1932 solar eclipse in this Burlington Free Press article.

Stowe, Vermont, continues to receive accolades such as “#1 Best Winter Town in New England”  and listed as “Prettiest Mountain Town in New England,” as well as being named one of the “World’s 10 Best Ski Towns for Foodies!” We couldn’t agree more! Check out what our guests have to say.

“Stowe Ski Vacation”

Not your everyday B&B. More like a Swiss Chalet with exceptional hosts. Quiet retreat for tired legs after a long day enjoying the beauty of Vermont. The rooms were well appointed and the king bed was exceptionally comfortable. The fresh baked cookies were a real treat. The bathroom was very spacious and the Jacuzzi tub was just what we needed after a long day on the slopes. We will be back for sure.

“Lovely Weekend Getaway”

Have been going annually to the Stone Hill Now for 8 years and love it every time. Exceptional staff, very helpful with every detail, rooms are gorgeous. Love the in wall fireplace between the room/bathroom. Close to the mountain for skiing or the town for delicious meals and shopping. We feel like we are visiting old friends each year and love it every time.

“March Elopement Package (White Birch Room)”

Featured Destination for Couples

2021: Stone Hill Inn Chosen as “Featured Destination” by CardRates.com

Adam West wrote an incredible article about us (Innkeepers, Kristie and Todd Roling) and our award-winning Stone Hill Inn. Check out the highlights!

Stone Hill Inn a Featured Travel Destination by CardRates.com

Stowe, Vermont: Experience Our Quaint New England Town

West writes:

“It’s tailor-made for getaways, especially for couples looking to connect — or reconnect — in a place that’s best-experienced arm in arm.”

We couldn’t agree more. Stowe is a beautiful romantic getaway destination, and each season brings with it something unique and worth another trip. We have one couple that has visited the Inn over 40 times!

Stone Hill Guest Rooms

All of our guestrooms feature jetted tubs for two!

Cardrates.com’s article gives background on the naming of our nine luxurious guestrooms:

West Branch is a river, Moss Glen is a waterfall, and Sterling is several things including Sterling Pond and Sterling Gorge,” Rolling said. “Fiddlehead is our local fern, and Catamount is our local mountain lion — and also the mascot of the nearby University of Vermont.”

West Branch and Fiddlehead are end rooms featuring more windows and more secluded patios than the other rooms. “West Branch even has a peekaboo view of Mount Mansfield depending on the season,” Roling said.

“The Notch refers to a place in between the mountains called Smuggler’s Notch, which is right up the road from us — it’s a super cool place to go and see,” Roling said. “Rock climbers scale it. They used to smuggle rum up there — there are caves, all kinds of history, and waterfalls galore.”

Stone Hill Inn: Romantic Getaway for Vermonters

We love our guests! Here’s what a few recent guests shared on TripAdvisor about our Romantic Vermont Inn.
 
what-couples-are-saying

“Best Romantic Getaway in Vermont”

My partner and I finally found our ideal romantic getaway in the Stone Hill Inn. The quiet inn caters to couples only and each of the rooms has a fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. As Vermonters, our idea of escaping to an inn means hiding out from life at an inn where we can just be together. We had an in-room double massage and even ordered take-out. There was ample space in the room for us to use WiFi to do yoga and meditate and we loved being able to walk/snowshoe right from our room door. Private seating at breakfast kept our experience intimate and we took advantage of the large living room to watch movies from the huge library and had the space all to ourselves. Kristie and Todd were helpful and attentive when needed, but not hovering as can be the case at some establishments. So many inns or resorts only have the top-priced rooms with both a Jacuzzi and fireplace, while the Stone Hill Inn’s nine rooms all include these features, and for a better price than other comparable rooms in the area.

“Fabulous Romantic Getaway”

My second visit and it was everything I remembered and more. The grounds are serene, rooms are spacious and cozy, and breakfasts were delectable. Wonderful central location and Todd and Kristie were the ideal hosts. We cannot wait to return again!

Meet our Masseuse, Rosie
We love Rosie and the relaxing treatments she provides our guests. Rosie is very talented and through her company provides professional Medical/Orthopedic Massage, Holistic Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage, Certified Cupping Therapy and is a Certified Personal Trainer.

Rosie’s combined years as an athlete and personal trainer give her the inside edge to understanding the body and how it moves and functions. Her love of health and wellness began at a young age, but after a back injury in 2005, she was advised to find another career and the door opened to the world of massage.

Outside of massage, her interests include hiking, walking with her dog Nella and Sissy, biking, gardening, training for ADVENTURE races, Body Building Competitions and researching the human body.

“Couple’s Massage (Heavenly by the Way)”

Picturesque, Peaceful, and Wonderfully Romantic We stayed at Stone Hill Inn for our 10th wedding anniversary. From the moment we booked the reservation we were thrilled with Kristie and Todd’s attentiveness. Their assistance in booking our couple’s massage (heavenly by the way), dinner reservations, and guided hike (amazing time with a superb guide) was a wonderful treat. We had not a thing to worry or stress about. Our room was spectacular with a great view of the gardens and waterfall. Breakfast was catered to my fussy eating and was delicious. We were so thrilled with our stay we have already booked to go back and have even added another night. We highly recommended Stone Hill Inn. As we’ve been lucky enough to travel the world this gem in our backyard was a wonderful surprise.

Stowe – Best Winter Town in New England

For this prestigious ranking, Yankee Magazine considered each town’s winter recreation, scenery, and vibrant tourism infrastructure that made weekend, or longer, trips fun for everyone (whether looking for skiing and snowboarding, traipsing along snowy trails, or simply dining by firelight). Not surprisingly, Stowe, Vermont came out at the top!

Featured in Yankee Magazine’s “10 Best Winter Towns in New England” article is Stowe’s ample backcountry routes, including the state-long Catamount Trail, the longest public ski trail in North America. Of course, Mount Mansfield is touted for its expert slopes and its newer ski trails and lifts recently created to better serve beginners and families.

“Best place for a Ski Trip to Stowe”

The rooms are fabulous, comfy beds and plenty of space. We stayed at the Stone Hill Inn over MLK Weekend for a ski trip to Stowe . It was perfect – the breakfast was always delicious. It was a pleasure enjoying breakfast everyday in a sunny room looking over the snowy property. The property is nice, secluded from traffic and very cozy inside. The location is great, just a quick drive to the mountain, you can skip all the traffic. And, easy drive into town. The bathroom was great, the Jacuzzi tubs are just what you need after skiing all day. We enjoyed having the in-room fire place! We will be staying at the Stone Hill Inn every time we come to Stowe!
