Topnotch Resort

Topnotch Resort occupies 120 wooded acres on Mountain Road in Stowe, Vermont, approximately three miles from Stowe Mountain Resort's Spruce Peak base area. The property's defining feature is its 35,000-square-foot full-service spa—one of the largest dedicated spa facilities in Vermont—offering massage, body treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, energy therapies, and a comprehensive wellness menu that draws guests year-round independent of ski conditions. Accommodations range from standard hotel rooms with mountain or garden views to deluxe rooms, spacious suites, and private cottages tucked among the resort's mature trees; the cottages provide the highest level of privacy and are popular with honeymooning couples. Flannel Restaurant serves three meals daily in the main lodge, emphasizing local Vermont ingredients in a menu that changes seasonally; cocktails and lighter fare are available at the adjacent bar. The outdoor heated pool functions across extended spring and fall seasons, and a tennis complex offers both court time and instruction. A complimentary ski shuttle runs to Stowe Mountain Resort on a set schedule during ski season, and horse-drawn sleigh rides operate through the resort grounds on winter evenings. In summer, horseback riding, hiking access, and tennis programs supplement the spa. The resort accommodates corporate meetings and incentive groups through its event facilities, and its proximity to the Stowe Recreation Path makes it a practical base for cycling and jogging year-round.
