My wife, daughter and I stayed at the Stowe Motel during President's week 2008. We stayed in one of the deluxe fireplace suites, which had two bedrooms, and a large combined eat-in kitchen and living room. Our 13-year old daughter appreciated having a room to herself, after being relegated to the pull-out couch during past ski vacations. The kitchen was more than sufficient, and a big cost savings for all the breakfasts, and two dinners that we ate in the room.
There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance (Piecasso and Cactus Cafe), but we didn't try either one. The shuttle bus to the mountain and village stops right at the motel, which is very convenient.
The front desk was very helpful in providing restaurant and shopping recommendations. We would definitely come back to stay here any time of year. If I had one complaint, it would be that the beds consisted of a very nice queen in the smaller room, and a king in the larger room. The 'king' bed was really two twin beds pushed together with a king-sized headboard. Had our daughter been more accommodating, we would have taken the queen-sized bed, and given the king-sized bed to her. Alas, the word concession is not in her vocabulary.
