Spring flowers are in full bloom in Stowe, Vermont. The snow has melted off the mountains, giving way to a gorgeous Vermont spring. At Timberholm Inn, we love this time of year. It’s perfect for off-season travelers, midweek explorers, and retreat groups who want to experience Vermont without the big crowds or big snow, and at a gentler pace (and price).
Springtime in Vermont brings a full calendar of local events. (We’ve listed our top recommendations below.) When you’re done exploring, unwind on the Timberholm deck with your favorite beverage and take in the sunset behind the mountains. And you don’t even need a parka!
Spring is Vermont’s best-kept secret. The ski crowd has packed up their poles, the summer hikers haven’t yet hit the trails, and mud season is giving way to a beautiful display of spring flowers.
Lighter crowds, lighter prices, and just as much breathtaking scenery and fresh maple syrup? It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. It’s simply springtime in Vermont. When you visit this time of year, you get to take full advantage of Stowe’s small town charm without having to wait for a table.
It’s the perfect time to sip coffee and enjoy a homemade breakfast in our Great Room in the morning, explore Stowe’s scenic paths in the afternoon (the famous Vermont greenery has returned in full force), try out some of our local restaurants and breweries, and attend a local event or two.
Experience the magic of hot air balloons taking flight against the backdrop of the Green Mountains. The Stowe Balloon Festival offers live music, local food vendors, and family-friendly activities. Don’t miss the evening balloon glows that light up the night sky.
2. Hiking and Biking
Explore the scenic trails around Stowe, all within minutes of Timberholm Inn. Whether you’re hiking to waterfalls or biking along the Stowe Recreation Path, the natural beauty is unparalleled.

5. Gardens of Stowe Tour (June 2025)
Explore some of Stowe’s most beautiful private gardens during this annual springtime tour. It’s a perfect event for gardening enthusiasts and those who appreciate landscape design.
At Timberholm, we know that sometimes you want a place that feels like a home away from home (but without the cooking and chores). Our cozy rooms offer a quiet escape, perfect after a day spent hiking, biking, or balloon-chasing. You’ll start each morning with a homemade, 5-star breakfast, the kind that gets you excited to get out of bed even if you’re still a little sore from yesterday’s adventures.
Our location puts you close to everything – the mountains, the hiking trails, the village, and the breweries – but far enough away that you’ll still hear the birds in the morning and not the highway.
We’re a favorite for retreat groups looking for comfortable and affordable lodging, midweek travelers looking for a quiet recharge, and off-season visitors who appreciate a slower pace and real Vermont hospitality. And if you want to kick back in the hot tub after a long day of exploring, well, we won’t blame you. (In fact, we highly encourage it.)
Springtime in Stowe is easygoing, colorful, and full of small-town magic — the kind of trip that leaves you feeling lighter, happier, and maybe a little more inspired to slow down when you get back home.
Whether you’re coming for the Stowe Balloon Festival, a quiet hiking retreat, or just to enjoy a few peaceful days before the summer rush, we’d love to have you here at Timberholm Inn.
Book your spring stay today and come see why May and June are some of our favorite months of the year.
