The design of the nearly 3,400-square-foot HGTV Dream Home, located in Spruce Peak at Stowe Mountain Resort, was inspired by late-19th-century Adirondack mountain-retreat style. Created with the bold, innovative ideas that make each HGTV Dream Home so exciting and unique, it has three bedrooms, including a 'ski dorm' that sleeps eight, three and a half bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen and two family gathering spaces with lots of natural light.
"The 2011 HGTV Dream Home is our first in Vermont and allows us to showcase the features and attractions that make its location so desirable, including the area's breathtaking scenery and year-round outdoor activities," said Jim Samples, president, HGTV. "Stowe is a vacation wonderland and the perfect site for our 15th anniversary home."
