I was in Stowe for the height of the leap-peeping season, and despite the high traffic and the fact that I was travelling alone, the room I received was excellent, large, spotless, with a big, comfortable bed. It was a "deluxe king" room on the second floor, and so came with a small balcony, which gave a lovely view of the small pond, the turning trees and gazebo on the property and out into the valley beyond. Very beautiful. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The price was also quite reasonable. The location is as advertised, about a half-mile from the center of Stowe village, but easily walkable and with easy access to the beautiful village recreation path. If a half-mile is too far (there really isn't much in the town anyway), there are restaurants all along the road, which is the main drag up to the ski resorts. Breakfast was pretty good, about like a standard coffee-shop breakfast but on the B & B plan, as I was, it was included and adequate. I didn't use them as I was basically out looking at nature but there are nice facilities on-site, including an indoor swimming pool. Tea in the lobby in the afternoon is a nice touch, although it doesn't change the fact that this is basically a large hotel, not a "Vermont Inn" kind of thing. Nevertheless, overall highly recommended.
