Mountain Resorts

With its gorgeous mountains, vistas and tradition of kinship with nature, Vermont is a natural choice for a family vacation or a romantic getaway at a mountain resort -- sometimes with a lake also nearby. Vermont;s resorts push the boundaries of unique vacation at the AAA four diamond Equinox Resort and Spa in Manchester, for example, guests can try falconry, archery, and mountain driving in a Land Rover.

Even for people who are not hardcore outdoors-men and -women, the retreat to a Vermont mountain resort is blissfully relaxing and also a fine place to enjoy family time with active kids. Some resorts have kids’ game rooms, children’s programming, pools, and snowboarding terrain parks with slope-side access to family lodges or condos. Mountain resort cabins or cottages and condos also are idea of big gathering like a reunion, wedding, or other celebration.
