73 Mill lane was great for our annual Turkey stay with the family in Stowe. What made it perfect was the responsiveness, service and professionalism of Stowe Country Homes. We've been going to Stowe now for 31 years and as far as an agency, they were the best
Our friends and family had a wonderful week at the house. The kids loved the basement and the parents enjoyed everything else the house had to offer. Property maintenance was very responsive and accessible. The road to access the home from the main road can use more grooming during winter and four wheel drive is highly recommended. We would love to come back to this house in the summer to see what it has to offer during that season. Overall, just an awesome time.
We really enjoyed our time at Mill Lane. It's a lovely house with an amazing view. Very clean and well maintained. Everything we needed for a great stay. The Internet connection could obviously be better but sounds like that work is underway in the community. And a few days and nights from our stay were very hot but the was equipped with an ample number of fans which helped (as much as they could). Thanks again!

Stowe is a strong destination for pet owners because outdoor recreation is such a big part of the area. Dogs can enjoy many trails and recreation areas, though rules vary; some areas require leashes, while others may allow off-leash activity if your dog is under voice control. Always check current rules before heading out.
The Stowe Recreation Path is one of the easiest places to walk with your dog. It runs through town and along scenic areas, making it a good option for daily walks, casual bike rides, and time outside.
Smugglers’ Notch State Park is another popular area for hiking, and the Sterling Pond Trail is a rewarding option for active dogs and their owners. This trail is more challenging, so make sure both you and your dog are prepared before starting.
A little preparation makes a pet-friendly Stowe trip much smoother. Before you leave, pack:
Each season has its own benefits for pet-friendly travel. Winter is great for dogs that love snow, though cold weather and icy paths require more preparation. Spring can be muddy, so rentals with good entryways and laundry access are helpful. Summer is ideal for hiking, swimming, patios, and long walks. Fall brings cooler temperatures and scenic foliage, but it can also be a busy season.
For most dogs, the best season depends on their energy level, age, and comfort with weather. Active dogs may love winter and summer adventures, while older dogs may do better with mild spring or fall days.
