Thank you all for the great tips so far. I'm thinking 2 nights in each town, is that enough? too much?

-For Woodstock I'm looking at the Inn or the Woodstocker B&B. That Lincoln Inn dinner looks fantastic. Since Stowe is a ski town I'm sure the roads will be fine between Burlington and there, but do you think getting to Woodstock from Burlington will present any problems? Plan on renting an AWD SUV.

-In Stowe we would definitely look at some outdoor activities. Probably not skiing, but snow shoeing, snow mobiles, and the wife even mentioned maybe dog sledding. Edson Hill definitely looks great. Was looking at the Von Trapp place but not sure if it's a good place to stay or just a good place to visit.

-Any Burlington recs? Looks like we should be fine staying anywhere near Church St. The Hotel Vermont seems like a good option.

Thanks again!

Edson Hill is a great choice. A lot of people like staying at Trapp for accessibility to trails for summer/winter activities. I've never stayed, but I usually go for some beers von Trapp Brewery. Fantastic traditional lagers.

You also might consider one of the hotels closer to Waterbury. Not too much of a drive to Stowe, and you have your choice of good restaurants and craft beer bars. Sort of my preference, but to each his own.

Went to HS in Burlington, so Chittenden County is a part of Vermont that I'm more familiar. I'd caution that it can get pretty cold with the wind coming off Lake Champlain, but Church Street is beautiful with the Christmas lights and cobblestone walk. Burlington has done a great job continuing to build out restaurants and bars, especially with UVM right there. Really nice campus, too, if you want to walk through it.

Hotel Vermont is a good option - right next to Hen of the Wood Burlington location and walking distance to Waterfront Park. Incredible sunsets over The Adirondacks.

We went up to the Von Trapp lodge last time we were there to look around. It didn't really impress us. Seemed a little dirty and not updated. A couple of the rooms in the guesthouses have wood burning fireplaces and soaking tubs. Evenings with a fire going, alcoholic beverage of choice, and a hot bath are divine. Also, fantastic breakfast included in the price of the stay each morning.
