Seasonal and American inspired cuisine! Edson Hill is tucked away into the rolling green hills of Stowe. The views alone are worth a trip, but sit in the Adirondack chairs and soak up the view to really appreciate this place!

We love this place for the great cocktails, delicious food and easy going atmosphere. We enjoy sitting outside at the picnic tables when the weather allows for it! They are only open Thursday through Sunday (I believe) so double check before going.

A must see while you’re in Stowe or the surrounding area! So fun to see how they press fresh apple cider and they have free samples. Also, do not miss the Apple cider donuts, maple creamees or the many little gifty things (maple syrup, apple butter, maple mustard, jams, etc.) they have for you to take home!

Pick your own apples in this beautiful orchard with over 200 trees and many apple varieties! Such a fun family activity! Is there anything better than a homemade apple pie or crumble on a Fall day? I think not. Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and the orchard is approximately 30 minutes from our house in Waterbury!

We highly recommend bringing your own or renting bikes to explore the Rec Path! It spans many miles from the Stowe Village to nearly the top of Mountain Road. The vistas are beautiful and you will cross many bridges. There are pastures with grazing cows, Stowe Mountain Resort views, picnic areas, swimming holes, and more! We swim all summer long along the Rec path and the water is👌🏼👌🏼!

If you like a hoppy IPA, this is your destination! Please note, this is not a tasting room and some odd VT law prohibits them from pouring more than 4oz (I think), but you can at least see the scale of the operation and get a small taste of what they brew here. And, it’s right in Stowe!

General Stores of VT💚
A favorite past time of ours is finding the many General Stores still operating today. They are all in essence a slice of American history which is felt the moment you cross the threshold. They are all different and truly a pillar to the communities they served many decades ago and still today!
