Nestled among the mountains of one of Vermont’s most charming towns, AWOL Stowe offers the perfect mix of modern design, laid-back atmosphere, and quintessential New England charm.
Located just minutes from downtown Stowe, the property feels peaceful and secluded while still being perfectly positioned for exploring the area. Whether you’re planning a fall road trip, a romantic weekend away, or simply looking for a stylish base in the Green Mountains, AWOL Stowe is one of those places that immediately feels like part of the destination.
A Modern Take on the Vermont Getaway
AWOL Stowe has managed to capture everything we love about a Vermont escape without leaning too heavily into the traditional rustic aesthetic. The property feels fresh and contemporary, while natural materials, warm tones and its wooded surroundings keep that cozy mountain atmosphere.
It’s relaxed rather than overly formal — exactly the kind of place where you can spend the day exploring Stowe and come back to somewhere that feels quiet and inviting.
Location: Close to Stowe, Surrounded by Nature
One of AWOL Stowe’s biggest advantages is its location. You’re close enough to easily explore downtown Stowe, its cafés, restaurants and shops, while still feeling removed from the busier parts of town.
It also makes a great starting point for discovering the surrounding Green Mountains. Scenic drives, hiking trails, waterfalls and some of Vermont’s most beautiful landscapes are all within easy reach.
For a road trip, this location works particularly well: you can explore Stowe during the day, drive through Smugglers’ Notch, and continue toward Burlington and Lake Champlain.
The AWOL Stowe Experience
What stood out most during our stay was the overall atmosphere. AWOL isn’t about creating a traditional luxury-hotel experience. Instead, the appeal is in the combination of design, location, nature and simplicity.
There’s an effortless, almost cabin-retreat feeling to the property that fits Stowe perfectly. It’s the kind of hotel that works just as well for a quiet weekend away as it does as a base for an adventure-filled Vermont itinerary.
Is AWOL Stowe Worth It?
For travelers looking for a boutique hotel in Stowe with a modern, outdoorsy feel, AWOL Stowe is definitely worth considering.
We especially recommend it for couples, road-trippers and travelers who appreciate smaller properties with personality rather than large resort-style hotels.
And if you’re visiting Vermont during fall foliage season, the combination of Stowe, the surrounding mountain roads and AWOL’s wooded setting makes for an especially beautiful New England getaway.
Final Thoughts
Stowe already has everything you could want from a Vermont escape — mountain scenery, charming streets, outdoor adventures and that unmistakable New England atmosphere. AWOL Stowe complements the destination beautifully.
Cozy, modern and surrounded by nature, it’s a place that feels distinctly Vermont while offering something a little more contemporary.
