We invite you to experience a tradition of New England hotels, where hospitality plays front and center. And where the experience of being here is far greater than geography can define. Distinctive resort accommodations. Imaginative dining. Thoughtful touches, welcoming smiles.

Here, in a pristine wooded estate in Stowe, Vermont, you can play your best round of tennis - ever. Or get that Topnotch massage you've been hearing about. Or, simply relax and do nothing at all. Return to the luxury of choice... to what makes a vacation extraordinary.

Topnotch Resort & Spa. Return to it.

We believe that the art of a great meal lies in the balance between brilliant and unpretentious. That dishes should be memorable - and inspired by regional gifts. With locally grown ingredients, like Vermont lamb and just-picked greens. Organic wherever possible. Meats that are farm-raised, without hormones or unethical practices.

At Topnotch Resort, you'll find that art showcased daily, in dining experiences that consistently bring a fresh, approachable attitude. And celebrate the rich talent of Vermont's local cheese makers, farmers and culinary artisans.

Where New England dining is at its best, you'll find us. Topnotch in every way.

Norma's

Buttertub

Everyone's at home

A visit to the Buttertub, with its rustic bar, fireplace and big screen TV, is an invitation to relax. From its historied past as an après ski spot to its modern place as a popular destination for a cocktail or local brew, the Buttertub is full of great character. In season, like its big sister Norma’s, The Buttertub Bistro features local, organic ingredients on a casual fare menu that marries favorites and finds.

For generations, the charm of Stowe - with its picture-perfect village, easy Vermont style, and commanding mountain setting - has been a constant lure for travelers.

Ever-present, the awe-inspiring beauty of Mount Mansfield captivates - and inspires visitors to anchor their experience in nature.

Our treasures run deep and live close, with each month providing its own special invitation.
