It was by no means fancy, but it had all the essentials! This unit was two levels, with the kitchen and living space on the bottom floor and the bedrooms and baths upstairs. I’ll give you a little verbal tour (sorry! we were so messy on vacation that I couldn’t bring myself to take any pictures! Haha!) in case this kind of setup might work well for your family too. The rental condo was in a complex called The Village Green Condos and ended up being just perfect. Happily, we were able to find exactly such a place and book our stay through Vacassa. So instead we focused on finding a comfortable location that met the above listed criteria that was not too far out from the ski area and where we also had easy access to restaurants and convenience stores. Throw in a kitchenette and it’s even better! We didn’t bother looking at rental locations on the mountain because that “ski in, ski out” allure wouldn’t really be useful to us with three newbie skiers. As a family of five with small children, having a suite-like set-up is ideal for us. The second big decision, after #1: selecting our destination, was where to stay. Three and a half hours seemed like a reasonable amount of car time, and the route to Stowe is pleasantly punctuated with luxury-like welcome centers and rest stops that would ease those “but where do we stop” worries on an unfamiliar drive. Of course, this would also be the kids’ first road trip since our pilgrimage to Hershey Park way back in 2018, so I didn’t want to go too crazy. Plus, the further north we went, I figured, the better chance for snow given the crazy climate swings we have been experiencing the last few seasons. I had not been to Stowe, VT in upwards of 20 years, but I had some very fond memories from time spent there as a teen.
