Gentle Giants is a must-do if you are visting Stowe. Located on right on the main road to Stowe, you can not miss the goregous horses. Make certain that you make an appointment, because there are many people who like to get rides apres-ski. This is a fun 25 minute ride that is perfect for families or couples. The service... more

After reading all the wonderful reviews of Gentle Giants, we decided to add this romantic aspect to a wonderful trip to Stowe. Unfortunately, it was the least romantic, tensest part of our entire weekend! Stowe is expensive in general, but Gentle Giants is the only place we felt really taken advantage of! We were greeted by the brusque, businesslike owner,... more

We went to snowy Vermont from warm, sunny Florida to get married. We drove around the city looking for a special place to have the private ceremony. As we drove past Gentle Giants, we thought how great it would be to get married and then go for a sleigh ride afterwards.The owner Rochelle was great. She let us get married... more

While visiting Vermont, we decided to take a sleigh ride in the snow. I'm from Upstate New York and have plenty of experiences in the snow, but my wife is from Florida (very little time spent around deep snow). She was very excited about our venture and seeing as it was snowing very hard (big flakes), she was not dissapointed.... more

Every year we, together with our best friends, visit Stowe in December. One of the best things we do for ourselves is visit Rochelle and take a sleigh ride. We look forward to it all year. Rochelle welcomes us back as though we were long time friends. We love the whole experience. It's wonderful, romantic, nostalgic. We recommend it to... more

Simply put, if you are visiting Stowe, a trip there would not be complete without paying a visit to Rochelle and her Gentle Giants. Taking a carraige ride (or sleigh ride if you're visiting in the winter) with your signifigant other, your family or just yourself, is a great way to relax and see the wonderful scenic nature sights that... more

Right on Mountain Road across from the Topnotch resort, Rochelle Clark offers summer carriage and winter sleigh rides. My wife and I are riders and were very impressed with her operation during our visit last week, especially in the face of dwindling snow, which she was dealing with by hauling snow on to her trails and covering them against the... more
