LarkWoodland alpine lodge
This quiet lodge trades crowded après-ski for the forest edge. Days on the trails wind down with drinks beside the wood stove.
“This serene hotel is like a grown-up companion to Field Guide, offering a Nordic spa deck (hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, repeat), fire pits, a guests-only bar”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Rooms are quiet, minimalist, and outfitted in natural materials and earthy hues.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Trails lead straight into Cady Hill Forest from the grounds, and Stowe Village is a short drive down Mountain Road.
The rooms
Minimalist rooms come in pale wood and charcoal tones. Six standalone A-frame cabins add private porches facing the woods.
The hot tub
A round cedar soaking tub steams on the courtyard deck, looking out toward Cady Hill Forest.
Bar
The Lodge
Mornings begin with an artisanal toast bar, and the timber bar serves Vermont craft beers and cocktails by evening.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
