A cacophany of color

The summer sounds of music in the mountains are slowly being replaced with a cacophony of color as fall arrives in Stowe, Vermont. As the maple trees change to incredible shades of red and orange and the white birch gradually fade to yellow, peak foliage is expected to last another two weeks. But don't despair, there are still great deals available on lodging in this tiny hamlet, including at the Trapp Family Lodge made famous through the Sound of Music. With Burilington Airport less than an hour away, you can have the fall get away that you've dreamed of with something for everyone to do... Visiting the Trapp Family Lodge, you can take a horsedrawn carriage ride with Bert and Rex, a stroll on their trails to the Chapel in the Woods that Werner von Trapp built upon his safe return from the war, or visit the Austrian Tearoom for some wonderful Apfel Struedel. There is also the Toll Road at Mt.Mansfield where you can drive to the top of the mountain, and on a clear day, can see across Lake Champlain to White Face Mountain in New York and beyond. For the more adventurous, there are great mountain biking trails, with bike rentals throughout the village, as well hiking from the gentle recreation path running along Little River, to climbing up the trails of the Stowe Pinnacle, where no matter how many times you hike to the top, it is always as spectacular as the first time. There's also the Farmers Market on Sunday with entertainment, great breads, jams and crafts or the shops and ski museum in the village. If you make your plans soon, you can take in the Fall Art Harvest and Food Tasting October 5 - 7.
With accommodations from B & B's to hotels with great spas, the mountains are only a short flight away. So give me a call today and I'll not only assist you plan your Fall Foliage Getaway I'll meet for coffee, or tea, at the Stowe Coffee House during your visit.
