Fall Family Retreat: Views, Tennis, Fireplace

Experience fall in Stowe from Yama Lodge, a professionally designed, family-friendly three-level townhome just five minutes from Stowe Mountain Resort and seven minutes from Stowe Village. Enjoy mountain and foliage views, community tennis, a gas fireplace, a chef's kitchen and a kid-friendly lower-level Bear's Den.

PARENTS

Because we're parents too, we know traveling with kids means thinking ten steps ahead, so we've already done it for you. The home includes baby gates, outletcovers, wall-mounted furniture and interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

For little ones, you'll find two pack and plays, a booster seat, toddler toilet seats and a bathtub. The kid-friendly rec room includes books, toys and a telescope for starry nights. The fully stocked kitchen includes children's utensils, spices and everyday essentials.

FALL AMENITIES

The community tennis courts remain open through the fall rental season. The seasonal community pool is closed during fall stays. Guests can enjoy the elevated rear deck, gas grill, mountain and foliage views, neighborhood trails and the gas fireplace.

COMMON AREAS

THE LIVING ROOM

The open-concept living room connects naturally with the kitchen and dining area. An oversized sectional, Palermo leather armchair and two large skylights create a comfortable gathering space filled with natural light.

THE KITCHEN

The renovated chef's kitchen has a professional-grade six-burner stove, dual wall ovens and Caesarstone counters with generous preparation space. The West Elm mahogany dining table seats six or more, with three additional seats at the breakfast bar. A Weber Summit six-burner grill is just outside on the rear deck.

THE BEAR'S DEN

The Bear's Den is a relaxed lower-level space for movie nights and family time. The adjacent family sleeping area includes one twin-over-twin bunk and an oversized sleeper sofa.

The home sleeps up to 11 guests: eight adults in beds, including the bunk, and three children on the sleeper sofa. Dimmable lighting and a nearby full bathroom add comfort and convenience.

THE MUDROOM

The floor-to-ceiling cedar-clad mudroom provides a bench, shelving and closet storage for outdoor gear and everyday belongings.

BEDROOMS

THE PRIMARY BEDROOM

Wake to natural light from the skylight and enjoy mountain views from the balcony. The primary bedroom includes a king-size Tuft & Needle mattress, a velvet armchair and an oversized en suite bathroom with a soaking tub.

THE SECONDARY BEDROOM

The secondary bedroom includes a queen-size Tuft & Needle mattress, a velvet armchair and a skylit en suite bathroom.

THE LOWER-LEVEL BEDROOM

The lower-level bedroom has a queen-size Tuft & Needle mattress, a full bathroom and ground-level backyard access. It is separated from the neighboring family area by a slatted partition rather than a solid full-height wall. The adjacent family area contains the twin-over-twin bunk and sleeper sofa described above.

The front porch makes it easy to unload clothing and gear before settling in. At the rear of the home, the elevated deck offers fresh mountain air and views toward Stowe Resort and Smugglers' Notch.
