They get personalized notes on arrival, treats, and can get in on the Topnotch spa bliss with their own service menu(!). Oh, and if you live in the Northeast and have a dog, I’ve never seen such pampered pooches. We found that they continually dish out excellent advice and recommendations. Seated at the entrance for easy access, the concierge team is ready and willing to help. The concierge team at Topnotch is top notch! No pun intended. There’s a long list of activities around this area. Topnotch offers a complimentary car on-demand service for shuttling to the resort and into town.
Stowe Mountain Resort is renowned for skiing and all of this goodness is just a quick 5-minute drive down the road. Stowe’s wonderful recreation path is right outside the door.
Topnotch resort plus#
The Nordic Barn is adjacent to the property and offers cross country skiing, plus snowshoeing in the winter, and fly-fishing, mountain biking and road biking over the summer months. Stowe recreation path begins right outside the hotel Topnotch takes their activities seriously and there is plenty to do without leaving the property from their Tennis Center (indoor/outdoor courts) to their Equestrian Center, to the 35,000 square foot spa and fitness zone offering classes, guided excursions, and year-round family and adult swimming pools. Topnotch Equestrian Center Unlimited Activities The cuisine is sophisticated but hearty, from Misty Knoll Chicken with carrot romesco and pea spaetzel to King Salmon with creamed corn and barley risotto. Kid-Friendly Fine Dining at Flannelįlannel is the upscale, fine dining restaurant at Topnotch, but the beauty is that it is still lively and casual enough for kids with an open kitchen and a relaxed feel. They don’t have a kids’ menu but will create kid-friendly fare on request. From Roost Wings (they say Best on the street, I say Best on the planet) to Frito Pie, to an unbelievable local cheese menu, there’s something to please everyone. The Nibbles Menu is a highlight with shareable plates featuring Vermont-inspired goodies with a creative twist. Mansfield, comfy seating, and a built-in shuffleboard table for a little family competition.
Topnotch resort windows#
The space is open and airy with large windows overlooking Mt. We couldn’t get enough of The Roost, their new lobby bar and restaurant. The Roost offers casual fun for all ages Casual Dining at The Roost There are a few outdoor fire pits and plenty of seating so parents can relax while kids play. Topnotch sits on a bluff with a fantastic grass and patio area for lounging.
Topnotch has loads of room for kids to play Topnotch Resort and Spa Highlights for Families Room to Roam My husband and I were sans offspring on this occasion, but I still got a great feel for what makes this resort work so well for families with kids of all ages. Our home-base was the newly renovated Topnotch Resort and Spa, a longtime family favorite resort in Stowe ( Preferred Family Certified) offering both traditional guest rooms and rental home accommodations. The idyllic small-town vibe, spectacular leafy setting, and outrageously delicious culinary scene did not disappoint. As always, our opinions are our own.Ī visit to the mountain town of Stowe, Vermont has been on my bucket list for many moons and I finally got a chance to experience its glory first hand this fall. Topnotch Resort provided media rates for our stay.
