A classic Vermont Inn founded by one of the world'...

A classic Vermont Inn founded by one of the world's best-known singing families. The Trapp Family Lodge offers a classic Austrian style inn that's very clean but not new. It was re-constructed back in 1981. Lots of alpine feel, blonde oak, and images on the walls of concerts, movies and memorabilia from The Trapp Family's heyday. Although we stayed in one of the rooms that was not refurbished, the rooms are large and clean. They are, however, showing their age at least in the wing that has not been updated. The Trapps recently added a beer hall and a brewery on the property, and if you're into cross country skiing or snowshoeing it offers wonderful amenities. It's kid friendly and it's nearby to many of Stowe's attractions. However, if you're looking at being at the base of a downhill ski mountain, you might want to consider alternatives nearby. However, the resort does offer attractive packages that include discounts at Mount Mansfield and Stowe. While it's certainly not a cutting edge super-hipster resort, you can't go wrong with good food, friendly service and a clean atmosphere that's family-friendly. I give the accommodations, food and service a strong B+.
