Food Scene
There is nothing more quaint and more quintessential Vermont than Edson Hill. This is the Inn from the movie Four Seasons. It is SOOOOO LOVELY. I like to eat downstairs in the bar for a more cozy, unique après ski experience.

Its a Fantastic Pub - brought to you by the people of Hen of the Wood - voted 'One of the Best Restaurants in the World'. The Pub food is phenomenal and at a great price. Make sure you order an Edward beer from Vermont's 'Hill Farmstead' Brewery.

A little drive from Stowe - but this place is SO WORTH IT. Besides the totally unique basement carved out of rock setting - the food is INCREDIBLE and the restaurant was recently rated as one of the 'BEST IN THE WORLD'.
NOTE: You will need to make reservations well in advance.

The food is fantastic and the Trapp Family beers are delish, but the location is what makes it worth it! Have a flight to find your favorite - and theres plenty of souvenirs at their little shop on the way out of the building. FUN SPOT! Cruise by the Trapp Family Lodge just up the road after to see the most magical spot in Stowe where the Von Trapp family settled.

A twist on the craft beer movement, this Cidery (is that a word?) is a local favorite. The outdoor seating area is an abandoned sculpture garden and the selection of ciders is wide. There also run seasonal options that vary from the regular menu. This is a fun 'tasting room' that also hosts live music.

If you want to pile up on Craft Beers and Ciders to stash at the house or bring home with you, this is the spot. The selection is so big that it can be totally overwhelming, but the staff is SUPER knowledgeable to help out on that quest. Plus its right in the village in an adorable little Vermonty building.

In Winter - walk the Notch as a nice leisurely hike with your dogs or solo. There are lots of trails, including the Long Trail that are accessed via the Notch Rd. Lots of spots to sit and take in nature or have a picnic. Head up to the top of the Notch in the Summer for a hike up to Sterling Pond - a gorgeous little lake at the top of Big Spruce Peak. GORGEOUS

Just a quick jaunt from the parking lot gets you to a 100+ foot waterfall. Its a pretty stroll along a river to the falls with some very obvious beaver pond work on the left. Lots of nature happening here!
