Octagon Cafe Gallery - STOWE

This is a fantastic pit stop at the summit before you head onto the toll road. It's a 15-minute, 4-mile blue run that also features some green sections. Be sure to grab a hot cocoa at the top of the toll road; it’s one of the most relaxing experiences you can find on the East Coast. The trail resembles a logging path and showcases a charming little church about halfway through. There are plenty of great photo opportunities along the entire route. Stowe is one of my favorite destinations, and the toll road is what truly makes this place special.

The food is excellent, though on the pricier side. The location is fantastic, conveniently situated next to the Four Runner Quadlift.

It’s a bit pricey, but given the circumstances, that's understandable. The view is unbeatable!

I'm sure it's nice when open, but it's closed in the summer season. If you hike Haselton Trail and hope for a relaxing lunch above, make sure you pack one!

I mean it's a lodge with great (expensive) food at the top of a mountain, so pretty awesome to start with. I reccomend finding a friend who works there to enjoy a discount that would make the food and drink normal priced but then again it is at the top of a mountain. The breakfast sandwich is as legit as it gets, and in the spring there's nothing better than a beer on the deck
