Where to Stay
Nestled in the heart of Vermont, The Lodge at Spruce Peak stands out as the quintessential autumn retreat. From the breathtaking views to the unique local experiences, let me walk you through why this spot should top your travel list this season.
Stay in Comfort and Style
Upon arriving at The Lodge at Spruce Peak, you're greeted with an awe-inspiring panorama of Vermont's vibrant fall foliage, a perfect real-life canvas that changes colors right before your eyes. The lodge offers a luxurious yet homely feel, with accommodations ensuring you stay in comfort and style. Imagine waking up to the sight of misty mountains and spending your evenings cozied up by the fire with a good book and a glass of local cider.
Indulge in Seasonal Delights
The culinary offerings at The Lodge are a testament to the richness of Vermont’s harvest. You can indulge in dishes like maple-glazed salmon and warm apple crisps, which I found not only delicious but also soul-warming. These are perfectly paired with artisanal cocktails or local cider, capturing the essence of fall in every sip.
Adventures Await
For those who, like myself, love a bit of adventure mixed with their relaxation, Vermont has plenty to offer! Here are some of my favorite highlights:
Hiking Trails: Step outside and traverse trails enveloped by the fiery hues of fall. There's something truly magical about the crunch of leaves underfoot.
Gondola Skyride: For panoramic views that are absolutely Instagram-worthy, the Gondola Skyride at Stowe Mountain Resort is a must. It's like floating above a sea of colors!
Haunted Gold Brook Covered Bridge: Also known as "Emily's Bridge," this is perfect for those who enjoy a touch of spooky history.
Unique Local Experiences
Beyond the lodge, the area offers unique boutiques and artisanal finds in Stowe and Waterbury, perfect for picking up souvenirs. Food and drink enthusiasts will love:
Von Trapp Brewery & Bierhall: Savor Austrian-style brews and cuisine while soaking in the stunning 360-degree mountain views.
Stowe Cider: For cider aficionados, visiting here is a must. Their selection is top-notch, and the vibe is quintessentially autumnal.
Ben & Jerry’s: No visit to Vermont is complete without a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s factory, where you can sample both new and classic flavors.
A Touch of History and Indulgence
For a historical twist, visit the Trapp Family Lodge, owned by the family that inspired "The Sound of Music." This place blends history, charm, and scenic beauty seamlessly. Also, don’t miss out on a visit to a Maple Syrup Farm for authentic tastings and a tour of the Cold Hollow Cider Mill to grab some of their famous cider donuts.
