15 Airport Hotels in New England That Stand Out

The Stowe Village Inn sits 300 metres from Stowe Village Historic District and within 10 km of Mount Mansfield, placing it squarely in reach of Burlington International Airport (52 km), which serves as the primary gateway for visitors driving into Vermont's ski and mountain corridor.
