Top of the Topnotch

Occasionally in our travels we encounter lovely venues for special events and weddings, and a recent visit to the Topnotch Resort and Spa in Stowe, Vermont was no exception. Nestled in the state's renowned green mountains, Topnotch offers an all-in-one travel experience that is as refined as it is rustic, equally ideal for a conference or a destination wedding.

For more active guests, Topnotch and Stowe offer a seemingly endless array of rigorous, outdoor activities, including hiking, horseback riding, tennis, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.

Like many resorts, the Topnotch is a small campus, and the variety of accommodations and gathering spaces make it an excellent wedding venue. In our case, we stayed in a couple of the resort homes - houses nestled high on the hill. The houses had full kitchens, dining, and living rooms with fireplaces, as well as three bedrooms and three full baths. It was a perfect set-up for a bridal party or for a guest share. Inside, the decor carried the rustic details of the rest of the resort.

Topnotch is aware of this, and unlike many venues offers an in-house tenting option for special events (as opposed to a rental). Now that is what we call full-service!

Excellent interior designs, quite like the combination of antiques furniture with a contemporary touch. Think this work quite well for a spa venue. Great work.

It's certainly interesting to see the styling and cultural differences between wedding venues here in the UK and venues in the States.A place similar to the one you mention here would be impossible to find this side of the pond!

I've been to Vermont only once for the leaf falling. The resort you have pictured in the blog looks beautiful, those are some great pictures. I'm sure it is just as beautiful in the winter as in the summer. I may have to see if I can stay at this resort next time I'm in Vermont (not sure when that will be). Thanks for the great post!

I've actually been to the Topnotch Resort and Spa in Stowe, for my cousins wedding in Vermont. These pictures are beautiful, but don't even do it justice, as it is unbelievable in person. I spend several days at the spa it was wonderful. I will probably never make it back out, but I would recommend this resort and spa to anyone interested!

As a visitor here once before I highly recommend it, I'm more if a fishing buff but there are any number of activities to keep all walks of life entertained.

[Anik]

Wow,

I have been to Vermont for fishing and yes this place is super to have a vacation or even have a place to bring your family into the great outdoors

Great blog and thoughtful post on how our values have changed, not necessarily for the better. I wonder – how do you think you effect a large-scale rethinking of the greed/happiness division?

Interior design is an interesting field of work. It's not easy to design and then not all people will like the design since people have different view about it. :-)

But the interior design in the photo above is very nice.
