In the larger suites, the bedroom is truly separate from the living room, but the smaller suites with an open sitting area are quite spacious and the sitting area still feels separate. The suites also feature the best mountain views. In the various suites ranging in space from 650 square feet to 1,050 square feet, you'll find a variety of room configurations and amenities including sitting and living areas, flat-screen TVs, additional bedding such as day- and Murphy-beds, two bathrooms, and gas fireplaces. Although there are a limited number, mountain-view rooms may be requested at no additional charge. Pets are allowed in select rooms on the first floor.

A rollaway, Pack 'n Play, or crib may be requested, but keep in mind that the maximum occupancy in deluxe rooms is four persons. You can request a coffee maker, but really there's no need, as coffee is offered in the lobby each morning.Īlthough not overly spacious or luxurious, the bathrooms are up-to-date and well-outfitted, featuring marble countertops, deep tubs, and a hair dryer. In every room you'll find lots of special touches like plush bathrobes (kids bathrobes may be purchased in the hotel boutique), Vermont Spring bottled water, a mini refrigerator, and ample size closets with shelves and cubbies, as well as modern conveniences such as complimentary Wi-Fi, a full-size ironing board and iron, and a personal safe. There are 68 residences in the hotel including Deluxe and Executive rooms and Junior, Garden, Governor's, and Champlain Suites, all featuring attractive country decor with an upscale twist. By the time you’re ready to go home, you’re sure to be attached to your surroundings and likely to already be planning your return. Whenever you chose to visit Topnotch, it will be hard not to relax, enjoy and drift away from your everyday concerns. In addition to the typical winter family activities such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and sleigh rides, families visiting in the off-season can enjoy hiking and biking, canoeing and kayaking, geocaching, horseback riding, mini-golf, swimming, tennis and more. Situated between Stowe Mountain Ski Resort and the quaint Stowe Village, a quintessential New England town even your kids will enjoy exploring, Topnotch puts you smack in the center of activity in this “recreation capital of the East.” And although many families flock to Stowe in winter for the world-class skiing, it’s truly a four-season destination.

At Topnotch, from the moment you arrive, you’ll feel you are a part of the Topnotch family, and that there is always someone waiting ready to assist you and make your stay more pleasurable. Perhaps most remarkable, though, is the welcoming and attentive nature of the staff. While the hotel vibe is serene, the decor is not overly fussy (dubbed “where rustic meets luxury”), and there’s more than plenty to keep kids busy and happy both at the resort and conveniently nearby. And what might not jump out to the casual observer of the resort’s exterior (but is well remembered by those who have overnighted within), are the stunning views that are so magnificently showcased in the hotel’s main areas as well as accommodations. It’s easy to find a room set-up suiting your crew’s needs, and the convenience of a kitchen in select suites and resort homes could save you a bundle on meals and snacks taken at restaurants. Of particular appeal for families is the range of room configurations among the resort’s 68 hotel rooms and suites as well as the 30 separate two- and three-bedroom resort homes.


Mansfield, just a few minutes from fabulous skiing and mountain activities at Stowe Mountain Resort, sits the unassuming Topnotch, a hidden gem combining both a family-friendly environment and luxury amenities you would expect at a fine alpine resort. Tucked away on a wooded 120 acres at the base of Mt. However, if you’re the type that likes feeling like you’ve been transported to another place on your family vacation, along with a little extra pampering too, Topnotch Resort is the perfect place for you and your family. Think family resorts in Stowe and you may think Trapp Family Lodge or the commanding Stowe Mountain Lodge.
