    I loved this inn so much!!!! I'm not even sure where to start. The photos don't do it justice. It is truly one of the best places I've ever stayed. The inn is a place where time stops and you feel like you've on vacation. It's also so Vermont. The room was great, because it was cute and ridiculously cozy, but it's the property and manor itself that are spectacular. The art collection is noteworthy, especially the way it is curated in the space. There are tons of welcoming places in the main building to play a game, read a book, or hangout with the ones you love. We visited in winter and the roaring fireplaces in the inn and our bedroom made everything feel so warm. The restaurant is phenomenal with fresh and local ingredients. Breakfast is not included, but it's not to be missed because it is outstanding. Croissants and anything baked fresh like the Dutch baby. Hash on the hill in a skillet was incredible if you like veggies for breakfast. The dinner is elegant, but approachable and rivals any fine dining establishments in the world. If you're a foodie this is the spot. There are selections off the menu for dietary restrictions like vegan or vegetarian. The chef is brilliant and staff very helpful. Also a kids menu that's not advertised. There is a lower level of the inn, tucked away bar with mixology. It's another great place to sit and enjoy the night. I stayed at Edson Hill with my 11 year old son and we loved every minute of it. It's probably less ideal with very young kids. The room we were in had some noise because it was on the main level. If you are sound sensitive you might want to choose one of the other buildings. I liked the style and cozy vibe of the manor house. The room we were in had everything we needed and the bed is extremely comfortable with high quality linens and real duvet. Heated bathroom is lovely. These touches elevate the experience. Above all, the staff are genuinely some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll meet. They're also an incredible resource for all things Stowe. This inn feels like real Vermont. I left already dreaming about what the property must look like in all four seasons. I'm sure it's stunning. We're already planning a return trip!

    Situated in a country club / nice resort, is the Edson Hill restaurant. We came on the earlier side on the weekend and got situated at the bar given that most of the tables were already reserved. The dinner was fantastic! All the food we got were amazing. I highly recommend the lamb carpaccio and the octopus!! The bartender was also amazing! She was so friendly towards us as well. Overall, would come back again!

    Great food. Amazing mocktails. Family dinner atmosphere which was very welcoming. The steak was done perfectly and mashed potatoes very good

    We knew it would be difficult to get a Fri-Sat reservation (we tried for several weeks), so we opted for a mid-week one. Edson Hill is exactly as others have described: intimate, cozy, warm and delightful. There is a comfy waiting area with fireplace; the bar downstairs has a lovely lounge with fireplace and views of the pond and mountains. If it was warmer temps, there's a beautiful brick patio outside. We nabbed a 5pm seating because I had class at 8pm and we wanted sufficient time to nosh and relax beforehand. We took a walk around the grounds, which are quite lovely. My understanding is that there is sometimes live music outside on the lawn, which sounds fun. The bartender was very friendly and their special cocktail menu changes all the time. Our server was pleasant, but I have a feeling she is used to a certain type of clientele. One of the first things she mentioned was that there would be no substitutions on the menu's main dishes. We hadn't intended to make any (not our thing), but I can see why this might be necessary to mention. We didn't see a main dish with sides that we truly wanted, so we decided to order several appetizers and make enough room for dessert. Our server seemed a little surprised that we weren't ordering main dishes (and having worked in the industry, I know what she may have been thinking). We started with two bowls of the Butternut Squash and Carrot Ginger Soup, which is served with kale chips. It was potentially vegan, as it appeared to be a velouté without cream (nut or dairy). I wish it had a bit more salt, but it was otherwise tasty. We followed that with an order of the Cider Glazed Pork Belly, which was served with micro greens, apple and pickled jicama. It was delicious. We also ordered the Fried Brussel Sprouts with smoked maple, pine nuts nutritional yeast, and Parmesan cheese. They were fantastic. We also had the Roasted Beets with beet molasses, candied pecan, chèvre and pumpkin powder. Also excellent. For dessert, we ordered the Flourless Chocolate Torte, which was served with cherries, pomegranate and a maple whipped cream. It was very good. All in all, it was a delightful mid-week meal out. I'll come here for après ski this season, to get cozy downstairs in the lounge.

    What an exceptional experience at Edson Hill! With at least 2 weeks advance notice, Edson Hill was able to accomodate us vegans. And wow, did they blow us away! Edson Hill arranged a pre fixe menu for us. - The Brussel Sprouts cooked to perfection, savory, smoky, hint of sweetness, and nutty from the pignoli dukkah and salt. - The Arugula and Beet Salad was so fresh, a beautiful balance of spiciness from the arugula, earthy sweetness from the beets, and sweetness candied pecans, and brightness from the dressing. - The Fig & Radicchio Salad was one of my favorites and what I will be dreaming about! Savory and smoky from the radicchio, subtle sweetness from the figs, varied textured with candied pistachios, and Chef Dylan's take on a vegan burrata... chef's kiss! - The Maple Soy Glazed Foraged Mushroom Pate was sourced from foraged mushrooms on the property (And Chef Dylan's mushroom guy is vegan!). What a treat! The broth was so umami and delicious! The pate wrapped in napa cabbage was so beautiful and a nice hint of sweetness from the maple and yams. - The Peach Streusel was a lovely finish, nice balance of tart, sweet, and richness. A sincere and serious thank you to Chef Dylan who's vegan cooking blew us away and could feel his passion in making exceptional dishes and experiences, Lei who helped coordinate our reservation and correspondence and the entire Edson Hill staff who made our experience so memorable. It far exceeded our expectations on service, the food, and I cannot thank you enough! We come to Stowe every year and will definitely be back if you will take us! I highly recommend Edson Hill as your next special occasion out when in Stowe. Thank you!

    1000% yes! Edson Hill is warm, welcoming, homely and good to go solo, on a date or group. From start to finish, the experience is exceptional. I was welcomed by Peter, and another young man who were extremely kind. By the way, this is a review for the restaurant located within the inn. Michelle was my server and every recommendation was a hit; the scallops, beet salad and duck were spectacular! The McBride sister's Sauvignon Blanc was the perfect pairing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Please check it out and enjoy!

    Room 11

    My wife and I spend 3 magical nights at Edson Hill during peak foliage October 2024. Our room was located in the Hemlock House adjacent to the Manor House (which houses reception, the restaurant, the downstairs tavern in addition to several guest rooms). Room 11 was immaculate. Amazingly comfortable bed, perfect pillows, superb views of the property from our windows and a cozy (gas) fireplace with a large brick hearth and a nice tea/espresso station. I believe some rooms do have wood burning fireplaces as we saw the wood stacked outside other rooms (if you prefer that). The restaurants were great but we favored the tavern for its more intimate and authentic pub atmosphere. The included breakfasts were amazing and quite possibly the bacon the best I've ever had. Staff were personable and gracious. We cannot wait to return in the future.

    The environment is great and service is excellent. We came here in a non peak season so food was very fast, server is attentive and view is great. The food is good but nothing really stands out to justify the hefty price tag.

    Halibut dish with fingerling potatoes
    Aliz U.

    AMAZING! Placed on a beautiful landscape, you can enjoy a gorgeous view while you dine here. The building itself was very inviting and cozy; while we were waiting for our table we were invited to the living room which was a comforting area filled with couches and art on the walls. Additionally, the dining area had nice tables and everything just fit with a modern- rustic type design. In regards to food, it was delicious. For appetizers we ordered the brussel sprouts and charcuterie board and were not dissatisfied by either. The board had a variety of cheeses that were all great and some side dips like hummus and a fruit spread. The brussel sprouts were salted and seasoned perfectly, I just wish the portion was bigger. Entrees I got a halibut dish that just melted in your mouth!! LITERALLY!! And for dessert we enjoyed the chocolate hazelnut panna cotta along with poached pears and sweet potato cookies. All were perfect and not too sweet- which we experience at most restaurants. Definitely pricey, but would go again!

    View from the restaurant at breakfast.

    Top notch experience all around. I had heard amazing things about this place and it did not disappoint. The rooms is unbelievably cozy and they really thought of everything. The bed might be the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever experienced, the heated floors in the bathroom was an unexpected touch of luxury, and the wood burning fireplace was fantastic. We dined at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, as well as enjoyed drinks from the tavern. It's difficult to find bad food in Stowe, but the restaurant at Edson Hill was the best food we had during our stay. Make sure you make a reservation for dinner at least once while you are there. The tavern is also worth visiting. The decor is super cute and the drinks were fantastic. It's also worth mentioning that the staff could not have been nicer. They were warm, friendly, and extremely accommodating. The tavern and restaurant are closed 2 days a week, but the manager went out of her way to get us a beer anyway when we had time to kill before our dinner reservation in town. Finally, if all of this wasn't enough, the grounds are breathtaking. There isn't a corner of this property that isn't picture worthy. We will definitely be back.

    Could not recommend staying here more! Every detail is perfected. Was not super impressed by the dinner, but drinks were fantastic. Top tier organization!

The staff was warm and friendly. I only have one criticism. While the A/C was working, we had difficulty regulating it to feel comfortable. It was rather cold and clammy at night, but by morning, we felt fine. It wasn't so much the cold part that bothered me, but the clammy part was what got to me. Everyone kept saying how unseasonably hot and humid it was for Stowe, so who knows... maybe the A/C just had difficulty regulating itself... or we didn't know how to use it properly. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was a little uncomfortable some of the time. The room overall, though, was really great. Also, we loved that they had Netflix and Amazon Prime, so we could settle into the shows we were missing while traveling. That was a nice surprise ! Most hotels don't offer any of that. We had planned to dine out at one of the local restaurants, but we found out they were serving dinner at Grant's, the inn's restaurant. We were tired after traveling around all day, so we stayed at the inn and ate a great meal at Grant's. (See separate review for that.) Also, the common areas in the main building next to the restaurant are very tastefully appointed, spacious, with lots of games, books and sitting areas for people to utilize. We walked around them to see what there was but returned to our room to relax and watch some of our shows. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. One night in Stowe just isn't enough, especially at the Stowe Village Inn. Let's hope there will be a next time !

The area is comfortable and decorated nicely, and has board games, shuffleboard, a few fireplaces and hot water for tea. Breakfast in the morning is included. They had fruit, pastries and a protein of sorts, coffee and hot chocolate. In the evening we enjoyed a cocktail at the bar, which has live music some nights 7:00-9:00. There is a hot tub you can reserve for 30 minute increments. We opted to pass due to the weather and our short visit in the area. In the summer, there is a pool, which looks like a lovely set up. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We did visit during peak leaf peaking season, so it was pricey for the room type, but that's what you can expect anywhere in Stowe in October.

I think we got lucky finding the apartment available because it appears to be fully booked for the foreseeable future. The parking is not immediately outside each room so you park temporarily to unload and then move your car to the actual parking area. It really wasn't bad, even in the rain, and it's a very short walk. We brought our dog so just know, you have to go through multiple doors to get outside. The walls were kind of thin so we, and our vocal dog, heard the neighbors next to us come and go, as well as the rooms under the apartment. I can't say I'd want to be in the rooms under the apartment because I'm sure us walking around was loud. The bar looked swanky and fun but we had our dog and they strictly state you cannot leave your dog alone in your room. The sauna was out of commission or maybe it was the hot tub, either way we had no plans to use either, although they looked luxurious outside in the elements. I grabbed coffee one morning as they were closing breakfast, and it was incredibly watery. I can only hope there was an error making that days. My husband and I had to dump it out. The breakfast spread looked incredible, and picked over, so I brought is each a tiny piece of quiche, which was super good. Really wish I had gone earlier to try the fresh baked bread with all the sweet and savory condiments for it. I'd consider staying again in one of the A frames. Oh and most importantly this place is adults only, no children!!

The room had…read morewiring and slip hazards that have no business existing at $300 a night, and their reservation system lost us entirely. There's a 4-star half a mile down the road. I don't normally review a place on a single visit -- I want to know a business is consistent before I say anything. The exceptions are when I'm traveling, or when the experience is memorable enough to warrant it, for good or ill. This one is both. First things first: the maintenance crew was EXCELLENT. They showed up fast when the AC wasn't working (in JULY), fixed what they could on the spot, and not once did anyone argue or imply we were imagining the problem. That's rarer than it should be. The manager also went out of her way with gluten-free dining recommendations around town, which -- as someone who travels with GF folks -- I don't take for granted. And the food at the on-site restaurant was great... though it may have been catered. Sadly, the maintenance crew cannot carry the weight of this building's problems. Let's start before we even got there. Booking took MONTHS to get corrected (not joking; started in late summer of 2025, a year beforehand). The phone number on their website, and on every confirmation email they sent, is an 888 number that does not reach the hotel. Not "takes a while to reach." Does not reach. Changes we made by phone evaporated. Voicemails went unreturned. Booking inside the wedding room block seemed to genuinely baffle whoever picked up. The payoff: we walked up to the desk Friday and were told our reservation had been CANCELLED, because their system still had us as a Thursday no-show. We'd changed it to Friday-Sunday weeks earlier. Confirmed it. By phone. On the number they gave us. Then, Room 306: 1. No phone in the room. No posted front desk number anywhere. To reach the front desk of the hotel I was standing inside of, I had to Google it on my cell -- and Google gave me inconsistent numbers. Seriously? 2. Both A/C units were broken or barely functional on arrival. Maintenance swapped the sitting-area unit same day and it was flawless afterward. The bedroom unit never worked correctly. Not once, all weekend. 3. Both bedside lamps and both nightstands -- each with a 3-prong outlet and a USB port -- all ran off ONE wall outlet, through a daisy chain of splitters and extension cords. The wall switch on the left did absolutely nothing. The one on the right killed the lamps AND the nightstand power, which is where my medically necessary CPAP was plugged in. So both nights I had to unplug both lamps by hand in order to sleep, and every morning plug them back in. Inconvenience aside: that is a LOT of load on one outlet. 4. The bathtub had no anti-slip surface, no grab bar, and sat at a genuinely noticeable tilt. I slipped more than once and caught myself. I got lucky. Someone won't. 5. The bathroom has no vent. Its ventilation is a wooden-framed window in the wall by the room door -- no screen, no frosting, no privacy anything. Open it and you're open to the weather and to whoever's walking past. 6. That bathroom's only light is a dim fixture hung low over the sink. It doesn't light the room, and I hit my head on it repeatedly. The two overhead lights in the room proper are the opposite problem: bright enough to give you a headache. There is nothing in between. 7. The TV is enormous and mounted where you have to crane your neck sideways at it, instead of on the wall the bed faces. Someone chose that on purpose. 8. Anemic water pressure, and several minutes of running the tap before anything got warm. All of this ran roughly $300 a night. I want to be fair to the people who work here, because they were good to us every single time. But no amount of good service fixes four devices chained out of one outlet, or a tilted tub with nothing to grab. Fix the wiring and the bathroom and this is a different review. Until then -- there's a 4-star HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD that's better in every way that matters.

    Outbound Stowe appears to be a newer hotel in Stowe from what I read online. They are motel-style,…read morebut also have little private cabins that are lined up in the back of the property. I stayed in the Double Queen bed, handicap accessible room. It was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. I found that they didn't have a lot of functional things in the room. There weren't a lot of places to hang up towels. They didn't give the usual hotel toiletries like the shower caps, cotton swabs, makeup remover wipes, etc. They did have an electric kettle in the room and a little tray where they had some tea bags, hot coco packets, and an ice bucket. I couldn't find the other amenities from the other review like the noise machine. We only went to the main building to check in and check out, but I did see the hot coffee station and the gift shop. I didn't use either of these. I did, however, enjoy the complimentary smores one night when I had a sweet tooth. They put the kits out by the restaurant on site and there were two fire pits with a few chairs. I wish they had more, smaller fire pits so it could be a more private experience. (The people sitting at the fire pit didn't seem to appreciate when we asked if we could use the fire for smores.) The fire pits are also by an inground pool and a hot tub. The pool had signage that said it was closed, but they did not cover the pool. I'm not sure if the hot tub was open and I didn't see anyone use it during my stay. The WiFi was abysmal, which really was inconvenient because my boyfriend and I did not get great cell service for the entire trip. We were really relying on WiFi when we went to different businesses to plan things and make reservations. Because WiFi was not great at the hotel, some functions of the TV were unusable. These could be growing pains for the hotel if they are a newer business in Stowe, so hopefully they continue to grow and improve because the location is great and the foundation of a great hotel is definitely there!
