To get the most out of the beauty of autumn in Vermont, we stay in the heart of the Green Mountains at the base of three mountains in Smuggler痴 Notch. Our 3,000-acre playground is tucked along Vermont痴 265-mile Long Trail and includes historic caves, freshwater lakes breathtaking views and spectacular forest trails for daily adventure.
We値l paddle our canoes to the Boyden Valley Winery and indulge in a European winery experience, touring their fourth-generation farm and tasting their award-winning wines with gourmet cheeses, fresh fruit and breads. We値l enjoy the vistas on a hike up to the 4,390-foot summit of Mt. Mansfield. We値l kayak, swim, and swing from ropes in lovely fresh-water lakes and picnic in some serene out-of the-way spots.
We will also visit the Trapp Family Lodge, the Cabot Annex, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. You値l get prime instruction from supportive, encouraging professional athletes on mountain biking, trail running, yoga and dance. The food will offer taste without guilt, with no sweet tooth going unsatisfied. (Chances are we値l end up on Ben & Jerry痴 home turf for a post-swim ice cream cone at least once during the week).
