FOOD & DRINK
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Waterbury/Stowe area has amazing restaurants.
Cozy pub in Waterbury Village. Great food and Vermont-centric beer list. They're doing a really good job with their indoor dining during COVID. Though not necessary, we'd recommend making a reservation.
Pro Tip: Let the waitstaff pair beers with your courses. You won't be disappointed.

One of the (if not the) best restaurants in Vermont. You'll definitely need a reservation. Consider booking one well before your stay. They do takeout, but we can't say how well it translates.

BREWERIES
We love beer and Vermont is a beer-lover's paradise. This is only a few nearby options. If you want a more extensive/customized brewery tour, we're happy to give you a ton of recommendations.
It can be argued that Alchemist created the New England IPA. This is 10 minutes down the road and their drive-up system is an easy way to pick up a 4-pack fresh from the source.

THE OUTDOORS
If you take a left out of the house on Gregg Hill and drive about two miles down the road, you will see a spot on the side of the road to pull off just as the road bends east. There is a short hike that will lead you to the reservoir for some great views (and swimming in the summer).

The weather changes often and weather apps don't always seem to be able to keep up. We recommend people pack plenty of layers and a good pair of waterproof shoes.
