On 120 acres overlooking Mt. Mansfield, this posh property has a contemporary look, excellent dining at the Roost, and one of the best spas in Vermont, which combine to create a world unto itself. The country-chic guest rooms are awash in maroons, tans, and tartans, while suites have the feeling of posh mountainside condos, complete with built-in bookshelves, gas fireplaces, and decks.
Built by the Von Trapp family (of The Sound of Music fame), this Tyrolean lodge is surrounded by some of the best mountain views in Vermont and abundant romantic ambience, making it a favorite for weddings. Many rooms in the main lodge have been refreshed with a rustic-chic design that bows to Austrian and Vermont roots, and there are activities galore in the fitness center, miles of trails, tennis courts, and an expansive bierhall.
The accommodations at this family-owned motel on 16 acres range from studios with small kitchenettes to modern two-bedroom suites warmed by their own fireplaces to rental houses that can sleep 10 or more people. Cruiser bikes, helmets, and other gear are available to guests; the game room has foosball, table tennis, and a pool table; and there are two pools and a tennis court on the property.
