ProntoHotel’s Recommendations for The Best Hotels for Fall Foliage Stowe Mountain Lodge, Vermont, USA Sitting right at the foot of Mount Mansfield, the tallest peak in Vermont, you can’t get a much better location when it comes to leaf peeping. All of the beautifully-outfitted rooms come with a balcony and picture-perfect views of the area’s patchwork foliage. Expect first-class service all the way, from the helpful staff to the relaxing spa, the climatized pool to the gondola that takes you right up to the top of the mountain for a little hiking and a dramatic, colorful panorama.

This 4-star hotel is located in the heart of it all, surrounded by vast woods that were once used by hunters. The chalet seems straight out of a fairytale, and the service you’ll get is fit for royalty. Be sure to hop on one of the free bicycles to explore the nature around you.
