WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: THE STOWEHOF

By now you all know how much we LOVE Stowe, Vermont! It was the first place Ryan and I ever lived together, and is just a short drive from where we live now. We also love a good staycation - so we recently decided to head to the mountain for a weekend getaway at The Stowehof. Located on 26 acres with panoramic views of Mount Mansfield, The Stowehof is a beautiful and charming inn reminiscent of a country lodge, with retro decor and hidden nooks throughout. Staying here means

TOP 5 ACTIVITIES TO DO AT SPRUCE PEAK IN STOWE, VERMONT

We’ve missed traveling so much so we were so excited to take a mid-week trip over to The Lodge at Spruce Peak to relax and enjoy all that the beautiful resort has to offer. Spruce Peak is nestled between some of the most beautiful mountains in Vermont: Spruce, Mansfield, Sterling and Madonna. We enjoyed many of the activities the Lodge at Spruce Peak had to offer, including skiing, ice skating, and après-ski dining! You can view my top 5 winter activities to do at Spruce Peak

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: THE LODGE AT SPRUCE PEAK

When Ryan and I first decided to move in together I wanted to find the perfect mix of city and country. Stowe, Vermont was THE PLACE and we rented our first apartment there. Now, nearly six years later, we are blessed to call this area our home and we absolutely LOVE it. Stowe is the PERFECT location for your winter getaway and there are so many reasons why! Not only is it the alpine Ski Capital of the East, but it also is a great place to get active with dog sledding, snowmo

WHERE TO EAT | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: IDLETYME BREWING COMPANY

Since we have lived right outside of Stowe, Vermont for a few years, Ryan and I have had a chance to try some great food and see some amazing sights. A lot of you guys ask me for recommendations when you come to visit the area so I am slowly putting together a list of all of our favorite Stowe things! The first restaurant I ever went to in Stowe when I first moved to Vermont five years ago was Idletyme Brewing Company. I am pretty sure that I went on one of the first days tha

A ROMANTIC STAYCATION AT TRAPP FAMILY LODGE

Time has really flown by the last few months (don't I ALWAYS say that though!). Ryan was off for most of December and January so we got to spend a ton of time together at home. Next week he leaves for tour for nearly two months (with a few short breaks in between shows) so we decided to take a romantic "staycation" to Trapp Family Lodge right down the road in Stowe, Vermont. If the name rings a bell to you it's because the Trapp Family Lodge was started by the von Trapp famil

A PERFECT FALL DAY IN VERMONT

Ryan and I laugh all the time that we lived in Stowe for a whole year when we first started dating, but never actually explored Stowe! We ate at the same restaurants, went out to the same bars, swam at the same swimming holes and hiked the same hikes without really knowing much variety. Now that we are back we are finally getting to visit all of the special areas in our “new” hometown that we never have. One of the things I love most about this town is that there are so man

HIKING WITH THE HUBBY

Squeezing in the little husband and wife moments before tours can sometimes seem so hard. Ryan just got back two weeks ago and he’s already heading out on the road again for another month. Unfortunately, his welcome home was overrun with doctors visits and X-rays because he had severely sprained his ankle. We spent the next week getting ready for our housewarming party and, once that was over, we finally had some time to spend together and enjoy our favorite season in Vermont

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS | BURLINGTON EDITION

The other day I came across a post of a girl asking for recommendations of places to go on her first time in Burlington, Vermont. It really got me thinking about how much I truly love where I live. Ryan and I have lived in a few different places since we started dating. When we first moved in together we had a cute two bedroom apartment in the heart of Stowe, a “luxury ski town” of sorts. While I loved living there, the ski town aspect of it made it hard for me to find a job
