🎶 The hills are alive with the sound of music 🎶

Love the Sound of Music? What if I told you that you can visit the real Von Trapp family’s lodge from the famed musical starring Julie Andrews in the quiet town of Stowe, Vermont?
Day 7 of my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) started the day by driving through Smuggler’s Notch—it’s a short and super windy drive through a mountain pass that’s seriously beautiful.
Helpful Tip: Get started on the drive as easy as possible. Traffic is notorious during foliage season so we hit the road at 7am and had it to ourselves!
We then spent the entire day exploring nature trails and hanging with animals at @trappfamilylodge, an Austrian-inspired mountain lodge with 300 acres of farmland in the middle of Stowe.
The Von Trapps, made famous from the movie The Sound of Music, fled Austria during WWII and ultimately landed in Stowe, VT where their hospitality lives on today. Did you know the Sound of Music is one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time??
Had we had a little more time, we also would have added:
🥾 Moss Glen Falls
⛪️ Stowe Community Church
🍻 @alch3mistb33r
☕️ @blackcapvermont
🥞 @butlers_pantry_stowe
We did manage to catch a glimpse of the famed Stowe Community Church from afar, but any closer meant fighting traffic and huge crowds.
Come back for day 8 and the final video of the series as we explore the beautiful and family-friendly parts of Boston!

This isn’t a hotel.
It isn’t a resort.
It’s ONE vacation home — and it might be the most epic one I’ve ever stayed in. 🤯
We stayed at @lazyriverresort in Palm Springs with 4 families and 11 kids — and I can confidently say this is the ultimate group vacation house. From morning lazy-river floats to arcade tournaments to movie nights, you truly won’t hear “I’m bored” even once. (Parents… you know how big that is. 😅)
This place is a private mega-estate designed for groups that want to actually stay together — without sacrificing space, comfort, or fun:
✔️ Sleeps a massive group (25+)
✔️ Iconic bunk room with 8 queen beds
✔️ Private lazy river + water slides
✔️ Full arcade + movie theater
It’s perfect for all kinds of groups — the ultimate setup for birthdays, reunions, bachelorettes, retreats, or those long-overdue “let’s all finally travel together” trips.
And the cherry on top? The @staywandery concierge service. They helped us coordinate an in-home hibachi dinner night (yes, comedic chef + fire + kids losing their minds). They can arrange everything for your visit from private chefs to photographers to yoga instructors — making group travel easier and more memorable. ✨
It’s the kind of place where you don’t need a packed itinerary — the experience is the house.
Tag your group — this is the trip you’ll be talking about for years!
