Central Vermont will treat you well at its luxurious lake resorts

What is a mountain resort without an adjacent, crystal-clear lake? The Mountain Top Inn & Resort has the best of all natural worlds for those seeking a scenic escape into the mountains of Vermont. Nestled on a mountain on 700 private acres of woods and meadows, the resort takes full advantage of a 740-acre lake, offering everything from kayaking, fishing (for bass, walleyes, perch and sunfish) and paddle boarding to pontoon boat cruises. There’s also a Kid’s Pond that’s great for frog-catching. Views of the lake, meadows and mountains are everywhere, including in luxurious accommodations that range from main lodge rooms and suites to cozy cabins for two and guest houses. Even the heated outdoor pool and the restaurant have magnificent views.

If you love grand resorts and pristine mountain lakes, this is the place for you, your family, and closest friends. In sight of the Connecticut River in the Green Mountains, this full-service, year-round vacation paradise will satisfy anyone with a zest for skating, snowshoeing, swimming, boating, hiking, playing golf or tennis. Or just sit quietly by the calming lakeside waters and hear the plaintive wail of the loon. 130 guest rooms and suites, most having stunning views of the lake and some with balconies. A fully furnished Lakeside Cottages can be rented with their own beach and dock. Awesome. Picturesque. Unforgettable. Any time.
