Why you should go…

The von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort is a 2,600-acre mountain resort on the Stowe land the singing von Trapp family bought in 1942, the family whose story inspired The Sound of Music. The Austrian-style lodge has four restaurants serving farm-to-table food, and the property is a working farm with maple syrup and Scottish Highland cattle. You can ski cross-country trails in winter, bike in summer and drink lagers at the von Trapp Bierhall.

Good to know

General stay guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Rates swing with the calendar

    Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.

  • Read what is included

    Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.

  • Ask at booking, not at the desk

    Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.

  • On a short trip, location wins

    What you can reach on foot from the door matters more than the amenities list.
