Stowehof ReviewHigh on a hillside, this inn feels far removed from the hubbub of the valley. The exterior architecture has an aggressive, neo-Tyrolean ski-chalet styling, but inside the place comes close to magical -- it's pleasantly woodsy, folksy, and rustic, with heavy beams and pine floors, ticking clocks, and maple tree trunks carved into architectural elements. Common spaces feature nooks and fireplaces. Furnished without a lot of fanfare, guest rooms are decorated individually: Some are bold and festive with sunflower patterns, others more subdued and quiet. The smaller units are quite simple, like a country bed-and-breakfast, while fancier rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, wingback chairs, and air-conditioning. But one and all feature good views. The outdoor pool has a view of Mansfield, while the indoor pool building is simple and lovely, with a sauna and hot tub; the lodge is also next to Wiessner Woods, 80 acres laced with hiking and cross-country ski trails. Stowehof offers horseback riding and tennis lessons on the property for an additional charge. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
