For the ultimate in “roughing it easy,” Northeast adventurers owe themselves a visit to the Mountain Top Inn and Resort, nestled in the verdant hills of Vermont. Think Disneyland for outdoor aficionados. Bring your mountain bike (lift-service pedaling at Killington Resort is only 11 miles away) or a lightweight road rig to explore the Green Mountain State’s scenic, though steep, byways. Everything else—canoes, kayaks, fishing gear, mild-mannered saddle horses and even sporting clays—is provided by the resort, which overlooks the stunning Chittenden Reservoir (home to ospreys and bald eagles). In winter, the equestrian trails are converted to a cross-country ski and snowshoe paradise. And, after a full day of play, you’ll appreciate the exceptional dining and cozy accommodations of the sporting lodge-style inn.

The Price Tag: Rooms range from $115 to $445 per night, depending on the season, with a two-night minimum on weekends. 800-445-2100; www.mountaintopinn.com.
