DO NOT STAY HERE——What should have been a relaxing stay turned into an infuriating and exhausting ordeal due to gross negligence and unprofessional conduct by the property management company overseeing this privately owned condo. On my second day I left briefly for breakfast and after I returned I was shocked to discover that the door code to my condo did not work, leaving me locked out of the property. I called the property management office multiple times before anyone answered. When I finally did get through, I was placed on hold for over 50 minutes before anyone offered assistance. Being stranded outside the property that I paid for is completely unacceptable. Also the shower-head broke off, rendering one of the bathrooms unusable. I was happy to pay the nightly rate but I requested a refund of the property management fee, given that the services it supposedly covered—responsiveness, maintenance, and reliable access—were nonexistent. My request was denied, and instead I was offered a $250 voucher, which is entirely insufficient and frankly insulting given the circumstances. What I received was hours of inconvenience, unresponsiveness, and unacceptable conditions. I would NOT recommend this property as long as it’s being managed by Eurorentals.

Stowe is an established mountain town with year round outdoor activities so the competition for your business is tough and Outbound Stowe is up to the challenge. We were welcomed with a quick check-in and custom map for each guest (lovely touch!) There were also syrup samples and coffee/ tea service outside the small souvenir/ snack shop. The renovations to Outbound Stowe set it apart from other properties creating a unique experience of wonderful contradictions and this is in Stowe proper. The clean/ modern cabins have a simple/ thoughtful construction with upscale amenities. Our cabin had a separate king bedroom /w closet and stocked bathroom with and open concept living area (mud room, well-equipped kitchenette and living room (sleeper sofa, chair, table, rug and flat screen) with the show stopper floor to ceiling window adorned /w “tent” curtains. There’s also a small table /w Adirondack chairs outside each cabin facing a large meadow leading to the walking path/ river. You can unplug when you want and get connected when you need it (there were more plugs than I could count in every space). You are steps from the beloved Stowe walking path and a short walk from shops and a range sips and eats - near downtown and towards Mt Mansfield. And there was free EV charging which is pretty much unheard of. As we left, the check out was quick and we were gifted with a small sample of syrup - very nice touches throughout our stay and can’t wait to come again.
