What To Expect

Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center

After Cold Hollow Cider Mill, we will drive to Stowe to visit the Trapp Family Lodge. The Trapp Family Lodge sits on 2,500 acres of land, with breathtaking scenic views of Vermont’s Green Mountains. The Von Trapp Family (from “The Sound of Music” fame) chose this location as their home because its scenery is reminiscent their native Austria. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a welcome sign that reads “The Trapp Family invites you to share a little of Austria, a lot of Vermont.”

Stowe

Finally, our last visit of the day will be in downtown Stowe. With a population of just over 4,300 people, this village is home to many events throughout the Summer, including a hot air balloon festival and many different arts and crafts shows. Here you will find many local artisan shops featuring art, jewelry, clothing, gifts, and number of award-winning specialty foods. There is even a Ski and Snowboard Museum, of interest to those who enjoy downhill Winter sports.

We had the best time with Natalia on the Stowe-Waterbury tour. She clearly knows her stuff and had so much to offer. Lots of history, local knowledge, restaurant recommendations- everything. We only had 2 days in Vermont and are so glad we spent one of them on this tour. It was a great way to see lots of different things but not in a tour-bus/crowded kind of way. Highly recommend!

Natalia is fantastic! She picked us up right at the front door of our B&B. Her car is spotless and very comfortable for getting in and out of easily at each venue. She knows all the hot spots and took us to some off the beaten track as well. Spending the day with her is like being with family. I am so glad that we took this tour with her it gave us a much better view of beautiful Central Vermont.

My husband and I went to Vermont for our honeymoon, and I was little nervous that we wouldn't find anything to do. Boy was I wrong! I stumbled onto this company and it was one of the best things we did! Natalia was so pleasant and super easy to talk too. She gave us tons of interesting information about each area, and let us explore on our own if we wanted. (We did the Mountpelier - Mad River Valley day tour.) She knew all the best little shops, and the restaurant we stopped for lunch was amazing. This is definitely a tour that I will be revisiting in the future to try out a different one! You definitely won't want to miss out on this tour while visiting Vermont. We went around the end of September and it absolutely gorgeous weather. It rained a little on the day of the tour, but we both felt like it gave the tour a little more character. We cannot wait to go back!
