Topnotch Resort

Topnotch is a great option in Stowe, Vermont and part of the Stash Hotels Rewards program - a nice plus. We have stayed there a number of times and enjoy the relaxed but sophisticated ambiance. The rooms are comfortable and the grounds beautiful. They have an inviting spa and well equipped gym. The indoor and outdoor pools are great too. My husband and son enjoy skiing at Stowe Mountain and the resort offers a complimentary shuttle. There are two restaurants, Roost, that offers lunch and dinner along with small bites and a bar. The restaurant is good but there are so many stellar options in the area. Unless the convenience of the restaurant is compelling, I would look elsewhere. The atmosphere is quite nice though. The other restaurant, Flannel serves breakfast and lunch. They used to offer dinner. I am not sure why they no longer do. The space is beautiful with mountain views. This seems like a missed opportunity. Maybe they will bring back fine dining to this space. In addition, the rooms, while comfortable, are due for a refresh. Nothing that would keep me from staying there but something to keep in mind. Depending on what you are spending, this could be an issue. I am generally able to travel during non-peak times so I am not paying top dollar. Prices can be high during school breaks, etc.

The resort is beautiful and the staff is fantastic. The outdoor hot tub, sauna, and indoor hot tub with high pressure waterfall (yeah, you read that correctly), are awesome! We had noisy, inconsiderate people above us that kept us up until 2 in the morning. The next day, we asked to be moved to another room. The front desk manager, Danielle, was very apologetic (it wasn't her fault) and couldn't be nicer, arranging for another room. The next night was a much better experience. Her attention to the customer experience was flawless. We didn't need much, just a quiet night's sleep, but she went well beyond to made sure we had a positive experience. She is a fantastic representative of your resort.

Topnotch is top notch. The resort is idyllic for a winter wonderland. Numerous activities to do for the kids and adults. The slopes are a few mins drive away. 2 great restaurants are available Roost & Flannel. Spa & Indoor pool are available during the winter months. The staff was great including Jeremy (asst GM) and Danielle (front desk / reservations). This was my 2nd time at the resort. Considering coming back during the summer.

We planned a trip to visit family in Island Pond VT. We decided that since we were taking a 4 hour driveaway, that we should incorporate another day and go to Stowe for an additional getaway. We decided that Topnotch resort and spa was the place to visit. We booked a couple of massages to add to the fun of the getaway. Adriana was absolutely phenomenal! The best massage ever! If you go, you must ask for her! Highly recommended! 👌

Top notch resort used to be a 5-star classy top notch place. Not anymore! It has declined to 3-star resort at best in both decor, accommodation and food services. The worst part is the AMBIANCE: The bare one- desk one- table entrance ( no leather seats or sofas) …..connected to what looks like a simple “camp cafeteria” and bar in a same open space, all noisy with wooden bare tables ….. killing what a separate small but elegant and warm main restaurant with light music and tablecloths could have offered The problem is the unsophisticated design( of the designer ) and poor taste ( of the owner), and has nothing to do with having the needed space or having the budget for expensive decor. Trying to look modern ended up looking cheap and cold The restaurant, hampered and hindered by the casual below average decor, is also average at best in terms of cuisine and food quality Rooms fees are high but decor average, and comes with old noisy bathroom fan. And. ….not a single bottle of water in the room! We will not be coming back.
