The Ultimate Girls’ Getaway Guide to Stowe: Hikes, Markets, & Mini-Golf with Your Besties

Sometimes, you just need to pack a bag, blast your favorite playlist, and escape with your best friend. If you’re craving a mix of outdoor adventure, great food, and plenty of laughs, Stowe, Vermont is the ultimate girls' getaway destination.

At Sun and Ski Inn and Suites, we’ve set up the perfect basecamp for you and your bestie. With our "Stay More, Play More" package, when you stay two or more nights, you’ll automatically score a free round of boutique bowling or mini-golf.

Here is how to build the perfect weekend itinerary for you and your favorite travel partner.

Step 1: Fuel Up & Earn a Free Round on the Patio

Start your afternoon on the sunny patio at The Eatery at Stowe Bowl. Catch up over flatbread, fresh salads, and a couple of local Vermont craft ciders or beers.

Summer Perk: If you spend $25 or more on our patio lunch, you'll score a free round of mini-golf at Stowe Golf Park!

Right on-property, Stowe Golf Park is a beautifully landscaped, "golf-in-miniature" course. It’s less about tacky windmills and more about hitting the perfect putt on professional-style greens. Grab your putters, bring your drinks out to the course, and let the friendly competition begin.

Step 2: Hit the Trails (and the Views)

You can't come to Stowe without getting a little fresh mountain air. Depending on your vibe, grab your sneakers or hiking boots for these top spots:

• Bingham Falls: For an incredibly rewarding photo-op, this short trail leads down to a stunning, rushing gorge and waterfall. It's the perfect backdrop for a bestie selfie.

• The Stowe Recreation Path: Directly accessible near the hotel, this 5.3-mile flat, paved path is perfect for renting bikes or taking a long, chatty morning walk with iced coffees in hand

Step 3: Sunday Morning at the Stowe Farmers’ Market

If you are visiting between May and October, Sunday morning belongs to the Stowe Farmers’ Market (located right on Mountain Road).

It is a total sensory experience and a must-do for a girls' weekend. Stroll through the stalls while listening to live music, sample artisan Vermont cheeses, sip locally roasted coffee, and pick up handmade jewelry or fresh pastries. It’s the ultimate way to grab some unique souvenirs and support local makers before heading home.

Step 4: Unwind by the River

After a day of exploring, head back to the inn to relax. Soak in our glass-enclosed pool and hot tub, or grab a glass of wine and sit by our outdoor riverside firepits. If you book one of our Riverside Loft suites, you can lounge on your private balcony and listen to the water rush past.
