Cheap hotels in Vermont are rare. See five verified inns and resorts in Stowe, Manchester, Woodstock and Warren, with addresses and phone numbers.

Vermont has no shortage of inns and resorts, but a search for cheap hotels in Vermont turns up mostly upscale properties. This guide covers five places we could confirm: two in Stowe, one in Manchester Village, one in Woodstock, and one in Warren. We checked each against the property or a second source. We do not quote rates, because prices change by date and season. We also say plainly where details conflict, so you know which questions to ask by phone.

Where to Stay in Vermont: Hotels We Could Confirm
Table of Contents
Hotels in Stowe, Vermont
Stowe sits at the base of Mount Mansfield, and two resorts on Mountain Road draw most visitors. Both lie in the same village, so you can compare them side by side.
The Lodge at Spruce Peak
The Lodge at Spruce Peak stands at 7412 Mountain Road, Stowe, VT 05672. A meetings-trade listing gives the phone as 802-282-4625 and the toll-free line as 800-478-6939. We found only one source for the numbers, so confirm them before you rely on them. The listing calls the property a Destination by Hyatt resort opened in 2007.
Fodors describes the lodge as sitting at the base of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. The guide lists multiple dining venues, a spa, a heated outdoor pool, a game room, and wellness lodges with hot tubs and saunas. Two 18-hole golf courses also appear in the Fodors entry.
Room counts differ by source. The trade listing says 300 rooms and Fodors says 312. Both agree the lodge is large, which suits families and groups. We could not confirm check-in and check-out times, pet rules, or current restaurant names, so ask the front desk about each.
Pick the Lodge at Spruce Peak if you want a big resort with a spa and a pool, and you plan to ski or golf nearby.
Topnotch Resort
Topnotch Resort stands at 4000 Mountain Road, Stowe, VT 05672. Vermont.com and a meetings-trade listing both give the phone as 802-253-8585. The trade listing adds a toll-free line at 800-451-8686. The resort sits on 120 acres below Mount Mansfield, according to Vermont.com.
The resort is open. A Coldwell Banker Luxury article describes a planned transformation with 27 private residences. The article says groundbreaking begins in spring 2026 and completion lands in summer 2028. The same article says the resort will stay open and operational during construction. We found only one source for the schedule, so ask about construction noise and closed areas when you book.
The official site lists rooms, suites, and one-, two-, and three-bedroom resort homes. Guests can use the Topnotch Spa, a pool and hot tub, and tennis and pickleball courts. Dining includes breakfast at Flannel and casual meals at The Roost. A Meetings Today article describes a 35,000-square-foot spa and fitness center and a 10-court tennis center after a renovation. The article dates from the 2015 management change, so treat its figures as background.
Room counts conflict. Coldwell Banker and the trade listing say 68 rooms. Fodors says 88. The trade listing says pets are welcome with fees. Confirm the pet policy by phone.
Pick Topnotch if you want a spa-focused stay in Stowe with tennis and a quieter scale than the larger resort.
Hotels in Manchester VT: The Equinox
Southern Vermont has one famous address for a resort stay. Manchester Village draws travelers who like golf, shops, and mountain scenery.
The Equinox Golf Resort and Spa
The Equinox stands at 3567 Main Street, Manchester Village, VT 05254. The resort site lists 855-501-0029. The site describes a historic four-season destination and says the property began in 1769 as Marsh Tavern, which the resort calls Vermont’s oldest hotel.
Lodging options include the Main Inn, The Orvis Inn, vacation rentals, and the Meadow House. The resort lists four restaurants named Chop House, Marsh Tavern, Falcon Bar, and the seasonal Dormy Grill. A full-service spa, a fitness center, and a championship golf course round out the amenities. Activities include a Land Rover Experience, fly fishing, hiking, tennis, and skiing access.
A meetings-trade listing counts 195 rooms and says the resort was restored in 1992 and renovated in 2018. We could not confirm those two details with the resort. We also did not find check-in times, pet rules, or any resort fee policy, so ask about each before you pay.
Pick The Equinox if you want golf, a spa, and several dining choices on one campus.
Where to Stay in Woodstock, VT
Woodstock is a village town with a green, shops, and restaurants within walking range of the main inn.
Woodstock Inn and Resort
Woodstock Inn and Resort stands at 14 The Green, Woodstock, VT 05091. The resort site lists 800-448-7900. Vermont.com lists a local number, 802-332-6853. Either line should reach the front desk, but call one and confirm.
The resort site lists classic rooms, premium rooms, studio suites, legacy suites, accessible rooms, and pet-friendly garden-level rooms. Guests can choose from several restaurants, including Red Rooster, Richardson’s Tavern, and the Fairway Grill. A LEED-certified spa with 10 treatment rooms and the Kelly Way Gardens farm-to-table program complete the site. The Woodstock Country Club offers golf.
The Michelin Guide lists 142 rooms and awards the inn one Michelin Key. Michelin says Laurance Rockefeller founded the resort in 1969. The listing also names a Robert Trent Jones golf course, tennis, Nordic skiing, and EV charging. We could not confirm check-in and check-out times, so ask when you book.
Pick Woodstock Inn and Resort if you want a walkable village base with a spa, golf, and a long list of room types.
Hotels Near Sugarbush: The Pitcher Inn
The Mad River Valley has fewer large hotels than Stowe. Warren, home to the Pitcher Inn, sits near the Sugarbush ski area.
The Pitcher Inn
The Pitcher Inn stands at 275 Main Street, Warren, VT 05674. The inn lists 802-496-6350 on its own site, and a trade listing also gives 888-867-4824.
New England Inns and Resorts says the inn has nine guest rooms in the main house and two family-friendly two-bedroom suites in a separate barn. A trade listing counts 11 rooms in all, which matches. The inn site names rooms such as the Hayloft Suite, the Stable Suite, the Trout Room, and the Chester A. Arthur Room.
The inn runs a farm-to-table restaurant called 275 Main and a casual spot called Tracks Tavern. The inn site lists live music on Wednesdays. New England Inns and Resorts says the Warren Store stands across the street and guests can borrow bikes, snowshoes, walking poles, and sleds. The same site lists the inn as pet friendly. We could not confirm the pet rules, the pool shown in one trade listing, or check-in times, so ask by phone.
Pick the Pitcher Inn if you want a small inn near Sugarbush instead of a large resort.
The Lodge at Woodstock: What We Could Not Verify
Our earlier version of this guide listed a property called The Lodge at Woodstock. We searched official, tourism, and booking sources and found no lodging by this name. The closest confirmed match is Woodstock Inn and Resort, which now takes this spot in the guide. We dropped the old entry rather than describe a place we could not confirm.
The old text also claimed multiple pools and a central location for the lodge. We could not verify any of those claims, so we removed them.
Cheap Hotels in Vermont: How to Think About Cost
Every property above sits at the resort or inn end of the market. We did not find a confirmed budget option, and we will not guess at one. Cheap hotels in Vermont do exist in many towns, but we have not verified specific names for this guide.
Start with your dates. Foliage weekends and ski weekends fill rooms first. Midweek stays and off-peak weeks often cost less, but the only way to know is to compare the total on two booking sites and by phone. Ask for the total with taxes and fees.
Look at the room type, not only the property. A smaller room at a resort can cost less than a suite at a smaller inn. The Equinox lists vacation rentals and The Orvis Inn alongside the Main Inn. Topnotch lists resort homes. Those choices may suit groups who split the cost.
Check the cancellation policy before you pay. Weather can close roads and ski lifts, and plans shift. Ask each property how far ahead you must cancel and what you get back.
How to Choose a Vermont Hotel by Trip Type
Families should look first at the Lodge at Spruce Peak. The resort lists a heated outdoor pool, a game room, and wellness lodges, and the size gives you room to spread out.
Couples should look at the Pitcher Inn or Topnotch. The Pitcher Inn has a small guest count and a village setting. Topnotch has a spa and quieter scale.
Golfers should compare The Equinox and Woodstock Inn and Resort. Each lists a golf course and a spa.
Skiers should check the map first. Stowe properties sit on Mountain Road near Mount Mansfield. The Pitcher Inn sits near Sugarbush. Confirm shuttle service and lift access with each property.
Pet owners should call before booking. Topnotch, Woodstock Inn and Resort, and the Pitcher Inn all appear in listings as pet friendly. Fees and room limits vary, and we could not confirm current rules.
Getting to Vermont Hotels
Most visitors drive. The resorts sit in villages, and public transit is limited in the sources we checked. Trade listings name Burlington International Airport for the Stowe lodge and the Pitcher Inn, so Burlington is a sensible airport for the northern properties. We did not source drive times, so check a map for current routes and winter road conditions.
Manchester Village, Woodstock, Stowe, and Warren sit in different parts of the state. Check a map before you try to see more than one area on a single trip.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We checked Pitcher Inn details against the inn site, New England Inns and Resorts, and a trade listing. We checked Topnotch against its own site, Vermont.com, a trade listing, Meetings Today, Coldwell Banker Luxury, and Fodors. We checked the Lodge at Spruce Peak against Fodors and a trade listing. We checked The Equinox against its resort site and a trade listing. We checked Woodstock Inn and Resort against its site, Vermont.com, and the Michelin Guide.
We could not confirm rates, check-in times for most properties, or current pet policies. Room counts differ between sources. The Hyatt page for the Lodge at Spruce Peak was unavailable to us. Phone numbers and policies change, so confirm each detail with the property before you travel.
