Accommodations

The fall course will be held at the Green Mountain Inn, 18 Main Street, Stowe, VT 05672 .
The combination of magnificent Mount Mansfield, which is Vermont’s highest peak, and the old world charm of Stowe Village in the valley are the backdrop for explosions of autumn color for which Vermont is internationally famed and popular with international visitors since the 1930’s.

Stowe continues to feel like an idyllic Vermont town with a soaring church steeple, covered bridges and no chain stores or restaurants. In the autumn, the brilliance of Stowe’s fall foliage adds an extra dimension of enjoyment to every outdoor pursuit  from gentle strolls on the world famous recreation path,  thrilling above-timberline hiking  and nerve-jangling rock climbs on the faces of Smugglers Notch, fishing in streams and lakes, canoeing/kayaking along with tennis and golf.  There will be the annual three-day British Invasion that celebrates British Motorcars arriving in Stowe the weekend just before the course.

The Green Mountain Inn is located in the center this New England village surrounded by chief owned restaurants, art galleries and shops. Known for its small town historic charm since 1833, the owners have tastefully incorporated all modern conveniences for their guests in their renovations, including the heated outdoor pool.
