Fodor’s says of Stoweflake, “The first step toward relaxing at this elegantly appointed, colonial-style resort is taking a deep cleansing breath of Green Mountain air. You can do this on a hike, Nordic walk, ski run, or balloon ride. The second step toward relaxing is a spa visit. Let a waterfall massage you in the Aqua Solarium's mineral pool; stretch out in one of the Sanctuary Lounge's fireside chaises; indulge in an aromatherapy massage, Vichy shower, or Shirodhara oil treatment.”

“We are honored to be included as one of a Top Resort Spa in this well known and respected leading provider of travel information” said Chuck Baraw, president.  “We were already known as Vermont’s Best Resort Spa—but now thanks to Fodor’s and Condé Nast, the rest of the world agrees.”
