Just a few miles from town and a short ride to Mt. Mansfield, you can enjoy an expansive property with a mix of rooms, suites, and cabins; the region’s largest outdoor pool; a riverfront beach; and direct access to Stowe’s Recreation Path.
The room was very small. It was not cleaned at all. We stayed there for 3 days and they did not clean it well. The bedsheets were just left as is and not changed.
No ventilation in the room

We stayed at Outbound Stowe for three nights in one of the cabins, and unfortunately, the experience was far below expectations. The cabin was advertised for four people, but everything inside — from the bed setup to the amenities — was only suitable for two. The sofa bed was tiny and uncomfortable, barely fitting two small children. The size of the cabin is probably as good as you take 10 steps. Its TINY!!!!!
When we checked in, we asked for an extra comforter and blanket. No one showed up for hours. The front desk was managed by just one person doing her best to handle everything alone. When we finally received the bedding, it was used and clearly not cleaned. We had to walk back to the reception in the cold — which is quite a distance — to request replacements.
Housekeeping was inconsistent and careless. They cleaned surfaces but never vacuumed. I had to personally chase the cleaners, not once but twice, to get basic cleaning done. Every day there was some miscommunication, and no one seemed accountable.
To make matters worse, our “cabin with a view” faced what looked like a water dump area. When I raised this concern, the staff said they’d “see what they could do,” but nothing was ever done.
For the price we paid, the experience was absolutely not worth it. The only positive thing I can say is that the location itself is beautiful — but that’s about it.
I rarely write negative reviews, but this stay was full of frustration from the moment we checked in until we left. Outbound Stowe seriously needs to improve its service quality, cleanliness, and communication.

The Outbound Stowe was functional but pretty Spartan for the price. The bathroom was great, with two sinks. Beware, the walls are thin. We were woken up two nights in a row by a baby next door that sounded as if they were in our room.

Location is great: within walking distance of Stowe and with the recreation path behind.
Rooms are stylish.
A great base to explore the area

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel's location is beautiful, especially with the fall leaves, and having the recreational track right outside the property.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was well-designed and also beautifully fitted out, making it a very comfortable and clean space to relax. We really appreciated the small, thoughtful touches that made a big difference, like the complimentary coffee, the curated Spotify playlist, the availability of s'mores and fires etc.
Everything was well-kept and clean. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable experience.
