The resort boasts 68 guest rooms, a renowned 35,000 square-foot spa, and 9,000 square feet of versatile meeting and event space. Guests can enjoy exceptional dining experiences at two acclaimed on-site restaurants: The Roost and Flannel, both local favorites.

Topnotch provides an array of recreational activities, including a premier Tennis Center featuring four indoor and six outdoor courts. A state-of-the-art Fitness Center, indoor pool, whirlpool/Jacuzzi, and two outdoor pools with breathtaking mountain views complete the comprehensive wellness offerings.

The resort’s commitment to excellence has earned it consistent recognition, including the Condé Nast Traveler ‘Readers’ Choice Award’ and U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best Hotel in Vermont’. Topnotch Resort & Spa seamlessly blends the charm of a classic ski lodge with the sophisticated amenities of a world-class destination.

AWH Partners, a privately held real estate investment firm, acquired Topnotch Resort & Spa, recognizing the significant growth potential of the Stowe area, now considered the “East Coast Capital of Skiing.” With Vail Resorts managing Stowe Mountain’s skiing operations and introducing the Epic Pass, the region has experienced a surge in popularity.

AWH Partners plans to capitalize on this growth by implementing a strategic repositioning plan focused on enhancing operational efficiency and maximizing revenue. Spire Hospitality, AWH’s full-service hospitality management company, will oversee the implementation of this strategy. They will leverage their successful experience with similar properties, such as the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid, New York.

Long-term plans for Topnotch Resort & Spa include exploring expansion and redevelopment opportunities while respecting the property’s natural beauty and surrounding environment. The vast acreage presents significant potential for enhancing the resort’s existing facilities. AWH Partners is committed to collaborating with local stakeholders, including the Town of Stowe and the State of Vermont, to ensure sustainable and responsible development. This collaboration will contribute to the continued success of Topnotch Resort & Spa and the broader Stowe community. The investment in Topnotch reflects AWH Partner’s strategy of acquiring underperforming properties with significant potential for value appreciation.
