About Stowe, Vermont
Stowe is an internationally known, four season vacation area.
Most visitors know about the legendary riding & skiing (downhill, x-country
and back country)
on and around Mt. Mansfield, Spruce Peak and the Trapp Family Lodge.
Many are also familiar with the remarkable reds and yellows of fall.
And an increasing number is discovering that Stowe is a fun surrounding
for a myriad of spring and summer events. Mountain Biking is
getting especially active.
Whatever the season, we at Beckwith Rentals are working hard to ensure
that you will have a great time in Stowe.
We look forward to seeing you in Vermont!

Fall/Autumn activities
- foliage hikes - Pinnacle, Mt. Hunger, Mt. Mansfield. etc.
- foliage drives - local back country roads, the notch, north east kingdom, Toll road
