The Lodge at Spruce Peak — Stowe, Vermont

If you’ve skied in the Green Mountain state, you’re familiar with Vermont’s die-hard mountain culture. Stowe is one of the state’s prettiest towns and a magnet for downhill skiers, with a dreamy panorama of church steeples and snow-capped trees adding to the winter wonderland vibe. Located at the base of Stowe’s iconic Mount Mansfield, The Lodge at Spruce Peak presents pure slope-side luxury. The ski-in/ski-out access is joined by a spa, swimming pools, on-site dining, shops, and a glistening ice-skating rink.
