Friends, we value you as guests and want to hear just a line about why you want to join us to serve you better and help with your Stowe experience. Please send a little intro of who you are and why you’re coming. This is not a hotel nor corporate-owned mystery experience. It’s a cool spot for individuals, couples and small families; convenient to town-a family feel and complete privacy. We pride ourselves with 5-star experiences all around.
This studio, convenient to town; a minute from idyllic Main St.; the church, shops, and 15 min to the ski lift. The property is flush with colors in peak, snow to ski and green grass in Summer. The full kitchen is stocked; spices, fridge, mic, coffee, stove, utensils. The bed's a King Tempur-pedic for comfort and sleep (it forms around you). This spacious layout has antiques, ski art, games & smart-tv. It’s the lower level so it’s got that quiet, secret feel with your own entrance. It is part of a house with another studio so we keep it family style and respectful.
RESTAURANT TIPS
Here’s a comprehensive list of local eateries and stops. Ask for more specifics. Reserve NOW if you want something fancy.
1. Harrison’s: hard to get in but known as reliable because of the owner and chef; fish, chops, local ingredients and cozy like we like it. Reserve weeks or months early or try for the bar. 2. Idletyme: is easier to get in on a whim and makes ya feel kinda high end: large rooms, and has nice martini bar area — outdoor fire fun — food’s above average from steaks to burgers, prob the best fish and chips in town. 3. Sushi Yoshi: or the legendary 3A. Matterhorn for sushi. Yoshi does the asian theme and offers the American/Chinese usuals too. Both are great Apres ski joints but the Horn is the first stop after skiing for juice and apps. (Horn is also one of the last late night places along with 3B. Alfie’s Wild Ride— a favorite day and night massive and interesting club with games, tacos and run by Chris Oleks, local school principal turned cocktail slinger to the rising stars— young and old). 4. The Whip @ The Green Mountain Inn — steaks and comfort food, kinda comforting as one of the first spots ever here in the humble hamlet of Stowe, pictures on the wall are nice and staff is old school as is the steak au Poivre and chopped salad 5. Grants Bar at the Stowe Inn: great bar, most beautiful bar in Stowe with a good story behind it. Steaks and chops basic menu but fancy feeling. Just a nice place to have drinks or a soda and likely music on the weekend during peak seasons 6. Plate: is a higher end cosmo and cauliflower with steak or fish type fancy hip place. Jen Martin runs the show and a mixologist. 7. Next door to that is: Lower Bar for drinks and small singer/local musician affairs — closest bar to your COZY Hotel base. 8. Across Main street from there is Butlers Pantry: for breakfast. Best in town, try the Benedict or jalapeño cakes. Get in Yelp EARLY to get on list. 9. Maxies: in Waterbury is my favorite breakfast and less tourists if you do the 15 min drive. No one cares who you are. 10. Go up to the Lodge at mountain if you want to spend big bucks for over-priced pomp and same ingredients you’d get at: 9. Salute’, is my favorite right now and the only Italian option (Trattoria La Festa, if open, is a good option). A festive bar scene— a favorite of mine — with the bar and tables waited on by the cool kids. Get there early for bar space, like five pm in peak seasons. 10. American Flatbread is a fine place to go; cavern-like place with two nice bars and wood fired pies. 11. Rimrocks is a sports bars with all the fried favs paired with your favorite team sports on with a mix of tourists looking to shoo the kids away to the games and get down and dirty with more local drinkers who never leave. 12. The Backyard (smash burgers ) used to be that dive option but now its a place to take your bicycle and sip on a berry juice or craft beer and grab some pub food. 13. The Bench (great bar to sit at for food and they have wood fired pizza). Consistent with less pomp and lots of beers. 14. Doc Ponds is a cool bar; great bar tenders with spinning vinyl music. Basic food in a fancy kinda way (but don’t fall for the peanuts app). 15. Piecasso is the pizza place and crazy with kids having fun of all ages. Great owners and a great success story. You’ll see why. It’s hip to be square with the cool staff. It is THE kid place. 16. Burt’s Irish pub has cleaned up for all taker with the best brunch in town and still local fav of the restaurant industry club. The Columbian owner has a mixed menu but don't play the Dead on the juke box or she will cut it off. 17. WHEREABOUTS may make it; late bar food and a pretty good new spot for breakfast. Another new spot: BARBARIAN, American food with a twist with good reviews but pricey like everything nowadays. ZENBARN has the music-- if Alfie's doesn't. But it is Waterbury which has nice alternatives and prices. And then you have the usual breweries like the Alchemist for a lot of fun pop up music, games and food. It's legendary of course. Stowe Cider has a cool scene too.
That’s it for now. Again, happy to add more thoughts on town ideas; just communicate.
Here’s some tips and instructions for your CONVENIENT & COZY STOWE STUDIO needs:
1. WiFi Network: fidiumheath
Password: Deantv1313
2. Address: 1152 Pucker Street in Stowe (rural route 100) has a black and white sign in front of the building that says "Stowe Media." The driveway is a sharp right after a guard rail — before that sign if you’re going north on route 100 after passing through Stowe’s Main Street (and the church). A gray house with a detached garage at the end of driveway.
PARKING @ The Convenient & Cozy Studio:
Go down the driveway and you will see your deck immediately on your left with BBQ on it. Most folks pull up to that deck and then back up into the spot next to the front corner of the house. That’s your specific spot. It has a little lip you have to maneuver depending on your car size. However, If you have a large SUV, or simply don’t like the spot— park wherever you want unless it is winter, will have to work together. Now, if it’s dumping snow we need to be in touch as things develop and I may have to put you in a garage spot so the snow plowing people can get around to plow us out!
Enter double glass door. Adjust your AC or heat in kitchen above the microwave.
Key will be inside or in the door upon your arrival should you want to lock door. There’s not much crime here, your call.
