I've lived in New England my entire life. There's one town in this region I swear by visiting every fall.
My favorite fall travel location is Stowe, Vermont. I love checking out the corn mazes and visiting neighboring New England towns like Killington.
For leaf-peeping enthusiasts, there's no better fall destination than Stowe, Vermont, according to the writer who can't get enough of the town's autumn charms. Located just three hours from Boston and four from their Rhode Island home, Stowe is a beloved getaway spot for the writer and countless others.
Stowe's charm lies in its picturesque downtown area, perfect for leisurely strolls, and its array of quaint shops and cozy cafes. The town center is walkable, but attractions like the famous Gondola Skyride and the vibrant Stowe Corn Maze are just a quick drive away. The writer highly recommends a scenic gondola ride for a stunning view of the changing foliage, followed by a stop at the Percy Farm Corn Maze to get lost in the rows of corn and spot baby cows grazing.
The writer's favorite fall activity is undoubtedly the gondola ride up Mount Mansfield, where they can soak in the breathtaking kaleidoscope of colors while enjoying a waffle topped with chocolate syrup at the mountain's peak. After a day of outdoor adventures, dinner at the iconic von Trapp Brewing Bierhall is a must-try, offering Austrian-inspired dishes and a variety of German sausages to satisfy any craving.
Stowe's proximity to other fall destinations, such as Killington and Waterbury, makes it an ideal base for exploring the best of New England's autumn foliage.
