Powered by AI
The Trapp Family Lodge, steeped in history, earns praise for its stunning location and charming, nostalgic atmosphere. While many guests appreciate the hotel's cleanliness and the range of amenities, including outdoor activities and a pool, some find areas of the hotel in need of updating and cleaning. The rooms offer a mixed experience, with some guests noting comfort and spaciousness while others cite dated decor and cleanliness issues.
Service quality varies, with some reporting unresponsive staff. Despite this, the hotel's historic significance and unique character make it a popular choice, although some travelers warn it may be overpriced.

We came to the Trapp Family Lodge for the natural splendor, Austrian charm, and rich history, and were not disappointed. During a 3-day/2-night stay in December, we hiked through the woods, met their herd of Scottish highland cattle, and immersed ourselves in the history of the Trapp family. All of the tour guides and main lodge staff were incredibly knowledgable and friendly. We also had great experiences for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Main Dining Room and Lounge. The Trapp Family Lodge is perfect for a remote, scenic getaway. Even in the frigid cold of the Vermont winter, the main lodge fires were cozy and the night offered dramatic starry views for those who could brave the cold. Our only criticisms were: it was difficult to secure spots in the Main Dining Room during busy days; the alternative dining venue (Bierhall) experience was underwhelming. Otherwise an excellent retreat!…

Hotel's Favorite
Excellent stay. I am not exaggerating in saying the Trapp Family Lodge is the best place to stay in the Northeast if you are looking for relaxing, outdoor centric, first class dining and lodging with incredible scenery (on property) and in a quintessential New England small town (Stowe).

A lot to digest? Read a summary of these reviews, created with our new AI-powered tool.
Some of the worst food and service I have ever experienced. Every attempt is made to keep you on the hotel property by the staff’s unwillingness to provide rides into Stowe, make restaurant reservations (including at the Bierhall with the Trapp Family name) or to even to call you a taxi. However, their food is so terrible and so overpriced that it is worth taking the trouble to do these things yourself in order to avoid eating in the hotel should you make the mistake of staying here.

Nothing like it -Trapp Family Lodge Villa stay is the best! The scenery, the outdoor activities, the restaurants and bakery are all so special. What a peaceful, beautiful place. It truly is a little of Austria and a lot of Vermont!!

Been coming here since the early 80s - beautiful settings, attentive staff. High quality stay. Loads to do in Stowe area - there was no snow the 3rd week in December (Mt Mansfield was covered with manmade and groomed though) Area restaurants are varied and good- Enjoyed time at Mt Mannsfield and Spruce Hill location for general outdoor activities and dining.

Stunning hotel, less than a 2 hour drive from the Canadian border, away from noises. Great service, excellent staff all around and outstanding facilities. The gym is very nice, the hot tub is also very nice, though the water could be a tad warmer, the pool is great.... It is worth the extra!!! We will definitely go back.

The main building is disjointed and I shudder to think what a fire evacuation would look like. Three of our 4 dinners were stone cold. Expensive experience, but the whole area is expensive. Staff excellent.

Even though heavy rain melted most of the snow away and the trails were closed the week before Christmas, we had a great time at Trapp Family Lodge. The views and spaces are all so lovely, with numerous different gathering rooms, many with fireplaces and decorated beautifully for Christmas, the staff is delightful, and the food and activities are great too. Love that they continue to have live music, too. Always love returning to Trapps.

Beautiful location, with stunning views and lots of (then) walking trails. Swimming pool was good, although if using the beams on the roof to guide you in a straight line when doing backstroke, take care as the pool is not quite lined up with the roof. Our room was clean and the bed very comfortable. However, we never managed to get anything but slightly tepid water out of the hot water tap in the bathroom. Staff were courteous and efficient, but not welcoming and friendly. Due to excellent reviews, we went to Stowe Bee Bakery on the edge of Stowe for breakfast, so I cannot comment on the food.

Loved that there were many options for things to do right on property! Took the opportunity to rent snowshoes and go out into the woods on well marked trails. The Bierhaus was fun and staff was friendly and informative. Food was great as well!
