Our proud
Stowehof history
1945
The story of The Stowehof begins in the summer of 1945. While on vacation in Stowe, the burgeoning Ski Capital of the East, architect Larry Hess comes upon a beautiful mountain hilltop. He takes in the magnificent view of Stowe Valley and recognizes the location’s potential.
1949 / 1950
It’s settled. Hess is ready to build The Stowehof, and his plan is a progressive one for the time: reclaim, recycle, repurpose.
1968
Hess sells the thriving business to C.V. Starr, founder of the insurance giant known today as A.I.G. Starr, who plans to use The Stowehof as a retreat for his friends and executive personnel. They have their fun, and eventually the Mt. Mansfield Company takes over operation of The Stowehof as a hotel. The property is ultimately sold to Peter Bartholemew, a long time employee of Starr’s.
1980
Fritz Wiessner, an illustrious pioneer of free climbing, was once a neighbor of The Stowehof, but in the 1980s, he decides he loves The Stowehof enough to make it his permanent residence. He later goes on to donate the Wiessner Woods to the Stowe Land Trust. As a result, guests can take advantage of snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, dog-walking, and hiking through the woods.
2016
Saltaire Properties purchases the property and sets about restoring its former luster while incorporating enhancements and updates. The Stowehof lives on.

In partnership with our friends at Helen Day Art Center, we are grateful for the opportunity to display and make available for sale the work of local artists at The Stowehof. A rotating exhibit of artwork, including sculptures, can be found throughout the hotel. The Stowehof is a proud member of the Stowe Land Trust's Hotel Partnership Program, which gives guests an easy way to give back to Stowe so that it will always remain a special place to visit. For every night's stay, The Stowehof gives a $1 nightly donation to Stowe Land Trust. These voluntary donations are used to support the SLT's work to conserve Stowe's important natural resources.
