The hype
Families love the pools and location, but couples looking for romance hate the noise and dated decor.
Grey Fox Inn & Resort
$150-250/ noc
Zarezervuj si to, pokud You want a budget-friendly launchpad with indoor/outdoor pools that backs right up to the Stowe Rec Path.
Proč to lidé milují
- Direct access to the 5.3-mile Stowe Recreation Path
- Indoor AND outdoor pools (rare for this price point)
- Walking distance to The Alchemist Brewery and local dining
Rychlý přehled: A glorified motel with resort aspirations that nails the location but skimps on soundproofing and housekeeping.
Recenzoval @adventures_of_loryl_june: I stayed in Room 42 and it was the perfect winter basecamp. The room is compact but super cozy with the fireplace, and I spent every evening thawing out in the hot tub and sauna. Ideally located for exploring Stowe!

Reality check
The 'Mountain View' building is quieter than the Main Inn, but don't expect total silence anywhere.
- You are a family who needs a pool to tire out the kids
- You plan to spend all day biking or hiking the Rec Path
- You want Stowe location without the $500/night price tag

Insider tipy
- ✨
Use the back exit of the property to hop directly onto the Rec Path for a morning run.
- ✨
The 'efficiency' rooms with kitchenettes are great for saving money on meals, but bring your own sponge/soap just in case.
- ✨
Ask for extra towels at check-in because tracking down housekeeping later can be a chore.
5 věcí, které byste měli vědět, než se vydáte
💡The 'gym' is functional but very basic—don't expect a full Equinox experience.
💡The indoor pool area can get extremely humid and smell strongly of chlorine.
💡Some 'renovated' rooms still have older bathrooms.
💡The front desk hours are limited (often 9am-9pm), so late check-ins need coordination.
💡You might spot a grey fox (the animal) on the Rec Path at dusk if you're lucky.
