If you are looking for a quiet get away- this property is for you. Relaxing views of the mountains. Local hiking and biking on premises. Villas were located far enough away to give space and privacy. You are close to Von Trapp restaurants and amenities but you need to drive into Stowe for other entertainment/restaurants/pubs.
Great location, nice views. Host replied promptly. Check in was a little confusing. Was told Key cards would be in the actual lodge unit in the door jam before checking in. Had to go to the main lodge 5 minutes down the road and talk to a receptionist. Listing is a little deceiving. Itâs One room connected to another section of the rest of the unit. Separated by 2 dead-bolted doors. Walls are paper thin and as mentioned by someone else, the neighbor had barking dogs that went off anytime you moved in or out. Lodge amenities are a drive down the road from the actual unit. Close drive to Stowe which was nice. Clean unit. Fireplace wasnât cleaned upon checking in.
We had just a couple of hiccups...when given the packet with key cards in it at the main lodge check-in, we drove off to the villa. Of course, the keys did not work and we had to drive back to the lodge and have front desk rekey the cards.
Secondly, I had received tons of information prior to arrival about the property and amenities inside. There was a working fireplace and wood and kindling provided HOWEVER there was no sort of lighter with which to start the fire. Had to wait until next day to go find one to purchase in town. Not a lot of thought put into that.
Everything was wonderful! Close to everything. Beautiful place well maintained. Bonus having access to the main lodge! We will absolutely stay here if we come back!
The villa was very nice. It was accurately described in the listing. Management communicated timely with me. We stayed in the guest bedroom portion of the villa. The only downside was the neighbors in the main villa had 3 dogs that barked when left alone
The villa proved to be better than expected. We actually took our family pictures in the backyard as the view was spectacular! !! A great place to stay!!!
Suite was exactly as advertised; stay on Von Trapp lodge property even better than expected! We enjoyed the restaurant, the birthdays, the cross country ski trails and the hot tub. If you arrive early for check in or want to stay a little longer after check out thereâs plenty of places to hang out and things to do on the property. Perfect! Canât wait to stay again.
We were really looking forward to our stay at in this Villa. It was a little pricey for a one bedroom but it looked nice with a lot of amenities. First, it states specifically No Pets Allowed and use of a hot tub on the Lodge property. We would never book anything that allows dogs. The renters in the other side of the villa had 2 barking dogs. Each time the people left they barked and they barked upon their return. They barked when we returned to the villa. We are dog people but we did not pay to hear someone elses dogs bark. The hot tub was closed the entire month of October for renovations. We contacted the owner who simply said "It is pet friendly. You must have booked from an old ad." It's the ad I paid him through so how can it be old?. He also told us he didn't know the hot tub was closed. We asked up at the Lodge and was told all owners were notified of the renovations. How easy to just shrug us off with not even an I'm sorry offered. We would not have booked here if it was pet friendly and no hot tub. There are many great choices. Even though the grounds are very nice, there are other Villas and you have no idea what you will get when you rent this one. Vrbo was no help with this when we returned home. It's disappointing the owner is allowed to do this and the renter has no backing. I was told they had no recourse with the owner because we didn't contact them in a certain time frame.
We loved the beautiful room with incredible bathroom! Also - beautiful setting at the Trapp Family location! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Highly recommend!
We had a perfect stay in Stowe! We were celebrating our 25th anniversary! The Villa was so quaint! JP was wonderful to work with! Very kind and helpful!!!
We enjoyed our dinner at the Trappe lodge along with breakfast at the bakery every morning! , with the beautiful views we sat outside every morning enjoying the crisp cool fall air and gorgeous fall foliage while eating our yummy food! Soo many delicious options! We did eat breakfast in the dinning hall our last morning, it was a buffet style with equally delicious!!! Needless to say Villa 29 was just perfect! Thanks again JP!
There are many rental opportunities in the Stowe area, but the Trapp Family Lodge is unique for its spectacular location and its 2500 acres of trails, fields, and forests. Our rental resembled a master suite (and included a fireplace!). Clean, comfortable, and easy to come and go. We would rent it again.
Wonderful accommodation. The lodge was also great and there was a lot to do in the area. I definitely would like to stay there again. The unit was terrific.
