It all started... when Stowe resident Cristina Mink and her husband, Graham, fell in love with the historic Lackey Building. Cristina had always dreamed of owning her own warm, welcoming, and cheerful store filled with unique gifts from artisans near and far. After a conscious and respectful restoration of the old general store, the doors to The Country Store on Main opened on June 10, 2016.
Stowe opened for the 2023/24 winter season at 9am on Friday, November 17.
Stowe is a charming small town with everything travelers need to build bucket-list-worthy memories with breathtaking scenic views, world-class recreation, unique cultural experiences, and local signature flavors—all packaged together.
Stowe is located at the foot of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. In the winter, Mt. Mansfield is home to skiing and snowboarding trails at Stowe Mountain Resort, and in the summer, the resort’s ZipTour Adventure, Gondola SkyRide and Auto Toll Road offer stunning views of the Stowe Valley. With more than 45 trails, there are several scenic hikes in the area. Vermont’s historic Long Trail (LT) is one of the most popular trails that crosses over Mt. Mansfield and into Smugglers’ Notch and beyond. Built in 1910 by the Green Mountain Club—also located in the area—the LT is the United States’ oldest footpath that runs 273 miles between the Massachusetts and Canadian borders.

TRAPP FAMILY LODGE.
In the early 1940s, the von Trapp family toured the United States as the Trapp Family Singers before eventually settling in Stowe, Vermont, on an enchanted farm with sweeping mountain vistas reminiscent of their beloved Austria. In the summer of 1950, they began welcoming guests to a rustic, 27-room family home/lodge. After a devastating fire in 1980, the original structure was replaced by the new Trapp Family Lodge, a striking, 96-room alpine lodge situated on 2,600 acres offering magnificent indoor and outdoor resort amenities. The entire property is owned and operated by the von Trapp family. You can learn all about the von Trapp family history by clicking below or taking a tour while staying at the resort.

Black Cap Coffee originally opened in Stowe village in 2010. It came under its current ownership in 2013.

HARRISON’S
Kathy Kneale and her son Andrew Kneale opened Harrison's Restaurant in December of 2003. Their goal was to create a restaurant that was a reflection of each of their lives growing up and working in Stowe. Utilizing Kathy's experience of over 35 years of owning and operating two other restaurants in town, they wanted a place where locals and visitors alike could enjoy comfortable, creative and local food in an environment that was casual yet upscale and unique to Stowe. A place where you could meet old friends and new, have a romantic date night out or just unwind with a nice glass of wine.
Named after Kathy's late husband and Andrew’s father who was instrumental in the family’s restaurant career, Harrison's is their creation of what they think dining out should be: unpretentious, memorable, and most of all, fun.
Harrison's truly is a family run business. Andrew can be found in the dining room each night and Kathy is always busy in the kitchen creating all of the desserts for the menu or greeting old guests and new. They look forward to your visit and remind you; At Harrison's, you're always among friends!
