We have a 3 bedroom reserved for mid June in the Sycamore section. Not planning on buying the pass since our kids will be arriving mid week. Also it seems very pricey. Will there be pools and playgrounds for the kids to use without the pass? Is this a good location? bTW, the children are 2 and 6. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks
I own in Sycamores. It is a good area in terms of privacy/ quiet- separate entrance from the resort and main village area. You have to either walk or take the shuttle, your car or golf cart to the main village area. Remember- Vermont ain't flat- lots of steep hills/ski trails.
Sycamores has an outdoor heated pool and a child splash/fountain area, as well as a small whirlpool area in the pool. No slide. There is also an area for picnicking and a small playground. Perfect for very young children.
In addition, there is a clubhouse with a small exercise room and a game room with machines and pool tables and ping pong, etc. And- a quiet area with sofa and chairs.
There will be things going on on the village green that you can partake in for free, like the bonfire sing-along (definitely do that). You can also do fee based activities of your own choosing.
if you have bikes/strollers I recommend taking a ride into Stowe and using the Stowe bike bath. Very scenic and enjoyable and you can have lunch in the town, etc. You can rent bikes at TopNotch at the beginning of the bike path if needed.
Have a great time. We are headed up in another week for our 17th year. Our 28 year old son is meeting us there for a few days! Still has memories..
