The Green Mountains of Vermont are some of the most
beautiful in the world (I may be a bit biased, but
I've traveled the world over and I've rarely found a
place more lovely). It is a paradise for nature and
sport lovers, with endless opportunities for skiing,
hiking, biking, fishing, boating, snowshoeing, and
more. The mild summers, spectacular fall foliage and
snowy winters make it a joy to be outside almost any
time of year.
The town of Stowe lies in the northern part of the state, at the foot of Vermont's highest mountain - Mt. Mansfield. The Trapp Family Lodge sits on an amazing 2,400 acres of land, so you always feel surrounded by nature, despite the fact that it is only 11 miles from Interstate 89 and just a short drive down the road from the fine dining and shopping that Stowe has to offer. Stowe is about 3 hours from Boston and Montreal, and 6 hours from New York City. It's also less than an hour from Burlington International Airport. |

The Trapp Family Lodge is home to the first
cross-country ski center in the country, with 100
kilometers of trails suitable for every level of
skier or snowshoer. In warmer months, walkers and
hikers enjoy the solitude of the trails that wind
their way through meadows and woodlands. The resort
also features 2 outdoor swimming pools, 4 clay
tennis courts with a resident tennis pro, and 3
restaurants, as well as a new Fitness Center with a
heated indoor pool, state-of-the-art exercise
equipment, massage sanctuary and a climbing wall.
The resort welcomes children and has a "Mountain
Kids Club" with
activities for kids ages 3 to teens. Villa owners
also have golf privileges at the nearby Country Club
of Vermont in Waterbury.
If downhill skiing is your passion, Stowe Mountain Resort is just 5 miles away. It's well-known for the double-black diamond (most difficult) "Front Four" trails, but also offers some of the longest intermediate cruisers in the East, and many beginner trails. With 333 inches of annual snowfall, 48 trails and 13 lifts, it offers something for everyone. In addition, Smuggler's Notch, Mad River and Sugarbush ski resorts are all within a 45 minute drive. |

As you can see from the photos, the Villas are truly
lovely both inside and out. The light-suffused rooms
with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and hardwood
floors evoke the sophistication of a European villa
and the magic of a Vermont retreat. They've really
taken the time to pay attention to details and make
these residences true homes.
Each Villa Features: |

|

The Villas are offered as 1/12 fractional ownership,
which gives each owner 4 weeks.
Owners get to select two of these weeks in prime
time and they are "fixed", meaning you get the same
weeks every year! The other 2 weeks vary each year.
Ownership starts at just $126,000. Whole ownership
is also available starting at $1.35 million.
I feel that the Villas at Trapp Family Lodge offer one of the best deals in the fractional industry. The quality of the resort and residences, combined with ability to get the same 2 weeks each year, makes this an outstanding value. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the "Discovery" package they are offering exclusively to LF Guide subscribers. The package includes a 3-day, 2-night stay on the property with a full breakfast each morning and access to all resort facilities. Prices are $199 for a mid-week stay and $249 on the weekend.
