    Whistlepig pavilion
    Shelby A.

    Came after a day skiing at Stowe, and was extremely disappointed. Parking onsite is paid which is ridiculous for how much Stowe costs to begin with. The easy access gondola was supposed to be running and was not. We found parking onsite and everything was close by 430pm. Whistlepig was closed at 5pm for a private event. Yet there was not a single soul in site and the building was mostly dark. All of the onsite restaurants were either empty, in the process of closing, or not taking any new tables. The ice rink unfortunately was melted so ice skating was out of the question. There were a few seated areas around the fire pits that weren't surround by children but nothing for that apres ski aesthetic. Stowe as always is a beautiful mountain and community. Beyond disappointed that there was nothing open after 430pm when skiing ends at 4 and everything is supposed to remain open until 6-7pm.

    The raclette cheese they use here is the real winner. They put it on everything. There is a fireplace in the middle that they use for heating up the cheese and food. It keeps the place warm and smelling delicious. Service was good, nothing extraordinary. Drink options are limited. They only have beer and whiskey. A little pricey but that is expected at a ski lodge. Overall great place to hang after you finish a few runs.

    The vibes in this establishment are UNMATCHED. The pretzels and nachos were on point! Definitely worth a visit.

    This place is a famous Whiskey Bar.. when you enter outside there's a beautiful iceskating ring and nice chairs and fire puts outside.. it's absolutely stunning at night all lit up.. the whiskey is actually made in Vermont but they sell is all over the US and they have a restaurant there as well. We shared a tasting (which was pricey because it's very high end). And I had a hot apple cider cocktail. We shared the pretzel appetizer which is the BEST pretzels you will ever have.. the pretzels were perfect by themselves but they added RACLATTE CHEESE melted on top.. so good. I had the WAGYU kelibassi mac and cheese with apple sauce. The wagu kielbasa was so good the mac and cheese was perfectly creaming and then I was uncertain about the applesauce with it but it added an amazing flavor combination.. my husband had the vension chili. That was very good and rich and nice on a cold night! Highly recommend

    A Mojito and a Watermelon Basil Cooler. Both delicious!!

    Great service, relaxed atmosphere, great drinks, simple but tasty food. Huge stone fireplace, indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the lodge pavilion.

    I didn't realize this wasn't a typical bourbon tasting experience that one would get from visiting a distillery. I'll get bottles elsewhere. That being said- all the cocktails and flights are Whistlepig and the barbecue contains elements of the whiskey. I loved that I could sit outside with my dog and enjoy my delicious barbecue and lovely Old Fashioned. My husband enjoyed a nice mocktail with na rosé that was super refreshing. The staff were great - there's no way I'd be as nice as they are in the heat that day!

    Terrible service. Just as bad as you get for the price. Showed up at 6:05 for a 6pm reservation and didn't get our pergola until 6:20 because they couldn't find our server. After being very patient to get seated, our food didn't show up for over 40 minutes and then we were told last call was 7pm. None of which was communicated when we booked a 6pm reservation. Bobby the manager was completely unprofessional and blamed our slow service it on a "large party". Great location but ridiculously bad service. Keep your expectations low and avoid the 6pm booking at all costs....buyer beware!!

    Let me start by saying the service was impeccable, Nordia and Jen went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For a whisky house the steak really steals the show. Cooked right in front of you on a open fire . Drinks were great , I had the blueberry Julep. Very good with a nice bite . The pretzel bites were massive , best bang for your buck. This place has something for everyone.

    We started with the Raclette nachos.... Amazing! Even better than our main dishes. Hot cider with cinnamon on a cold day was perfect. Overall very good place to have lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive.

    Expensive but a nice option when staying at Spruce Lodge. We had drinks and appetizers which were good. Casual and kid friendly.

    We drove 1 hour out of our way home to come try it out and it did not disappoint. Amazing!

While some dishes across our visits were just okay, others were quite good, and the variety kept things interesting. As expected for a resort, prices are on the higher end, but the ambiance, convenience, and especially the staff make it worth it. Some of the people at the hostess stand were good, several were really quite bad. We'd definitely return on a future visit to Stowe!

Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. From the moment we sat down, the attitude from behind the bar set the tone in the worst way. The older woman tending bar was openly dismissive, rolled her eyes at simple questions about the menu, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her every time we ordered a drink or asked for something basic like water or silverware. No greeting, no smile, and zero effort to be even minimally polite. At one point she dropped drinks in front of us without a word and walked away before we could even ask for what was missing. It's a shame, because the kitchen clearly cares, but the experience at the bar completely overshadowed how good the food was. If ownership ever addresses the front-of-house attitude, this could be a fantastic place, but until then, be prepared for excellent plates paired with some truly miserable service.

I love when the local bike shop is *truly* a LOCAL bike shop, and not some generic conglomerate that has hired locals. We got so many excellent recommendations on where to ride, what to look out for, and any setup changes we should make based on our individual setups. For those who didn't bring bikes, renting bikes was quick and painless. They took the time to get us dialed in before we were off to ride. The merch was top-notch. My only (very minor) disappointment was that the green hat that I bought to match the jersey I also bought was a children's hat. I missed that at time of purchase and didn't realize it until we were back at our rental for the night. It's okay, I brought it back the next day and they were cool about it and let me swap my kids hat for a different adult-size hat, even though they didn't have any green adult hats. I wish we had a few extra days in the area, I would have loved to join some of the local group rides that seem to meet here to ride regularly. We did eat lunch here one of the days. It was so nice to eat outside. There was a good flow of people in and out, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. We had a group of 8, and yet everything arrived just as quickly as we ordered it. I had a crunch wrap. It felt like a lot of food, but it hit the spot. If I find myself back in the area, I will definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

Let's start with what we enjoyed during our visit: the drinks were good... the atmosphere was cool (more like a contemporary "cabin" vibe, which was definitely inviting)... and the staff were all stellar!! Where Ranch Camp let us down on this visit was the food. In fact, we desperately wanted to love the experience because everything LOOKED fantastic. However, all the food we ordered was bland. It all started with the pork nachos, which our party of 3 ordered as an appetizer. It was piled high and dripping with ingredients... but the dish completely lacked flavor. The pork was perfectly tender but tasted flavorless (until I added hot sauce and salt). I would also recommend they serve the dish with pico de gallo or salsa to boost the flavor. We had the same feeling with the burrito bowls. Two of us ordered different burritos (opting for bowls instead of tortillas), and we both thought the flavor was just okay. And on top of that, both of our bowls were lukewarm. In fact, the entrées weren't even hot enough to melt the cheese. I wish I would have sent the food back, but we were in a bit of a hurry. Finally, my friend James ordered the Chicken Quesadilla, which he also thought was "just okay." Oh, and we noted that a table near us sent back food... so not sure what was up with that, but we we weren't surprised based on our overall experience. Final Thoughts: Prior to visiting Ranch Camp, I read plenty of reviews praising the restaurant, so I'd like to think that they were just having a bad day.
