STORY BY BENJAMIN LERNER PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY EDSON HILL
R
olling hills . A picturesque pond . Gorgeous dining rooms . Well-appointed suites . Exquisite , panoramic vistas .
From a visual standpoint , Edson Hill possesses all of the trademark components of an unforgettable Vermont getaway . Remarkably , however , the true beauty and allure of this enchanting mountainside retreat lies far beyond what meets the eye . Though a picture might be worth a thousand words , neither precise prose nor perfectly-staged photographs can fully encapsulate the beauty , tranquility , and pure , restful bliss that awaits those who come to Edson Hill in Stowe . The accommodations are splendid , the culinary program is uniquely inspired , and the staff is courteous and personable . A night at Edson Hill feels loftier than the peak of nearby Mount Mansfield , yet cozier than a warm , fur-lined flannel shirt . There are no heated swimming pools , spas , or white-glove banquets to be found at Edson Hill , but opulent extravagance has never been their aim . Instead , they offer authentic hospitality that perfectly balances tasteful luxury with bucolic serenity .
It ’ s been less than a decade since Edson Hill ’ s owners first opened their doors to the public , but they have already made a big splash . Hundreds of five-star reviews from delighted guests on travel websites such as TripAdvisor attest to their friendly staff , relaxing atmosphere , and world-class amenities – and Edson Hill ’ s loyal following of returning guests is steadily growing with every passing year . Whether you ’ re planning a fun family vacation , a romantic weekend , or a storybook Vermont wedding , Edson Hill offers a lodging experience every bit as refreshing as a spirited gust of cool , mountain wind .
Warm , Worldly , and Welcoming
Edson Hill offers a harmonious balance of rustic comfort , authentic service , and contemporary Vermont luxury
From the moment that one steps through the doors of Edson Hill ’ s front reception hall at the Manor House , a feeling of ease and relaxation overwhelms the senses .
