If you’ve heard of the area, you’ve probably heard it mentioned alongside Stowe Mountain Resort, located on Vermont’s tallest peak, Mount Mansfield. It’s a famous stopover for skiers and snowboarders each year.
But Stowe is a four-season destination by most metrics. The area’s grand ski slopes are overtaken with greenery each spring and are crisscrossed with hiking trails for all experience levels. In autumn, the area comes alive with some of North America’s most colorful, memorable fall foliage displays.
In fact, it’s one of the most popular times to visit. Stowe hosts an annual Stowe Foliage Arts Festival that celebrates local artists and the season, for example, while places like Smugglers Notch State Park and the Stowe Recreation Path come alive with outdoor enthusiasts who want to maximize their time amongst the trees. The Gondola SkyRide is another great choice for great views.
But where should you stay when Mother Nature calls this autumn? Start with these Airbnb cabins in Stowe, Vermont—they’re perfect for an autumn escape, offering views, privacy, and access to the great outdoors.

Stay close to the action at this central Airbnb, located on Mountain Road close to Stowe’s top shops, galleries, and dining.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy one-bedroom setup that sleeps four, along with upscale perks like an infrared sauna. Outside, you can enjoy the autumn breeze at the cozy fire pit.
Historic Stowe Village Family Home
Here’s another Airbnb in Stowe that has a fantastic location, just a short walk from Sunset Rock and Stowe Village. If you enjoy historic stays, you’ll appreciate this rental’s location right in Stowe’s oldest residential area. That means this rental, though fully refurbished, also has some history—it once served as a blacksmith shop. It has since been renovated to include three bedrooms and cozy additions like the outdoor patio.
The Summit House
If you want to soak up your time in the great outdoors, this renovated A-Frame is hard to beat. The bedroom and many other parts of the home have large windows that make you feel like you’re camping outside under the trees. Speaking of trees, this rental is surrounded by oaks, maples, and more with leaves that transform in September and October. It’s a three-bedroom A-Frame offering a front-row view of the changing season.
Historic Downtown Stowe 5BR
You can comfortably sleep 12 guests in five bedrooms of this historic downtown Stowe home. First, you’ve got a great location that’s within walking distance to major shops, restaurants, and even trails. Second, this is a true five-bedroom with a double-bunk room that’s great for kids—no sleeper sofas involved. Third, the outdoor space is perfect for soaking up autumn vibes, which you can do from the fire pit, hot tub, or furnished back patio.
Sylvan Rhapsody
Speaking of large groups, if you want to sleep 14, you’ve got enough space to do so at this lower Stowe Village home. As with the last rental, the home has six bedrooms that can actually sleep fourteen without any sleeper sofas or blow-up mattresses. There are also two kitchens, in case you want to cook your own meals. Lastly, there’s a game room on the lower level that’s great for kids.
The Ginger House
Looking for a cottage-core adventure in Stowe? I’ve got two great recommendations. The first (The Ginger House) is straight from a fairy tale, surrounded by towering trees just a short distance from Stowe Village. There’s also a real wood-burning fireplace inside, which makes the wood features come alive—especially during the crisp autumn months. To add to the magic, there’s plenty of lounging area outside, letting you soak up the fall foliage.
3BR Log Cabin Getaway
If you prefer a slightly more modern log cabin, here’s another fantastic cottage-core pick. It’s got a wood-burning stove, wood features throughout the interior, and a private outdoor space where you can sip on your morning coffee or evening wine while soaking up the views. There’s also space for a larger group, with three bedrooms that sleep up to six.
The Stowe Village Schoolhouse
This four-bedroom home is located inside a restored 1845 schoolhouse, giving you the best of contemporary design with historic features. The build has plenty of rustic design, as well, letting you get cozy in a home that feels cozy, bright, and beautifully balanced.
Historic Maple Street Dairy
This 18th-century farmhouse is located right in the heart of Stowe, meaning you can park the car and walk into the village when you’re hungry, in the mood to shop, or just want to stroll. The home has multiple features preserved from its day as a farmhouse, including the wide-plan floors. The large porch is also ideal for enjoying the fall foliage displays.
