Without question the Stonybrook Condo area is the one of the premier places to stay when you are visiting Stowe. Ideally located midway between the village and the mountain, this condo has breathtaking views over the front lawn, to the rail fence, then to the hay field and historic farm house, and finally on up the valley to a spectacular panorama of both Mt Mansfield and Spruce Peak. For more and better pictures please also visit our real home page and web site at mansfieldviewvermont*com (Replace the asterisk with a period)
Inside are newly renovated baths and bedrooms and a brand new kitchen with new cabinets, floors, silestone counters and high-end appliances. Throughout the unit are dramatic, professionally taken Vermont photos, including ski shots, native scenery and cows from the neighboring farm. While you are visiting, you have no question that you are "in Vermont."
A short distance away, many within walking distance, are a variety of local shops, delicatessens (one of our favorites within walking distance is the Edelweiss and their Vermont home-baked apple pies)and restaurants ranging from excellent pizza houses to fine dining.
At the south end of the Stonybrook property is an enormous wooded ravine which stretches for miles behind nearby farms and with more trails than you can ever cover with one visit, including one trail that leads to a spectacular nearby waterfall. At the north end, for walkers, joggers, runners and bikers, is the mid-point of the famous, paved, 6.5 mile, 'Stowe Rec Path,' which winds its way along the mountain road from the village to the ski area.
Two years ago, when we (the owners) were looking for a property buy in Stowe, we heard from many realtors about Stonybrook but were cautioned against the high Association fees. Then we ran into a realtor who actually lived at Stonybrook and remarked, "You get exactly what you pay for!" She turned out to be precisely right.
Later, on a quick side trip off the Mountain Road to visit the Trapp Family Lodge we spotted the association grounds and the front line of condos. It was immediately clear to us that if we to buy in Stowe, this was the place to buy, and if at all possible to try to get one of the front line "Farm Row" units that had the best, and truly breathtaking view of both Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak. We decided to wait it out, and a year and half later got exactly what we wanted.
Not only did we get a front line, Farm Row unit, we got a unit with a view that probably only 4 or 5 of the other Farm Row units have - i.e the ability to sit in either couch in the Living Room, and see the mountain.
And what a mountain it is. Having grown up in mountain country elsewhere, this owner has been amazed at the many moods of Mt Mansfield - from dawn to noon to dusk, from rains and clouds to sunshine. Many of these views have been captured on digital camera and are permanently available for you slideshow viewing on the unit's brand new 37" plasma high definition TV.
For skiing, you already know the answer. The classic and historic Nosedive and National trails on Mt Mansfield early on led the way to Stowe being dubbed 'The Ski Capital of the East.' But then sunnier, gentler Spruce Peak, with its wider trails is also the skier's delight. Whatever your mood for the day, the perfect downhill run awaits you at Stowe.
We welcome you to duplicate our own pleasure. Come, visit, and find a place that will lead you back to Stowe and Stonybrook 6, again and again,
We look forward to getting to know you!
