Best Small Town for Adventure
Situated at the foot of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, it’s no surprise Stowe is considered a top destination for outdoor adventure. “The “Green Mountains offer ice climbing, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter, plus rock climbing, hiking, fly fishing and canoeing in the summer.”

Best Northeastern Small Town
New England is a special part of the northeastern United States, an area rich in history, varied terrain, and all four seasons (or more in Vermont’s case!). Stowe, Vermont in particular was considered by a USA TODAY 10Best contributor to be “a picture-perfect, Norman Rockwell slice of Vermont” that is “delightful year-round” while nodding to its dining culture and noting “most restaurants serving locally sourced food.”
