Mini-moon in Vermont

Posted Thursday, February 21, 2008 11:25 AM

If you're looking for a weekend away from wedding stress and love the snow, check out the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. The lodge has been managed by the von Trapps (the family that inspired The Sound of Music) for decades, which creates a friendly atmosphere with plenty of personal attention. The family owns 2,400 acres of land surrounding the lodge, so there are miles of trails for hiking or -- if you're vacationing this time of the year -- cross country skiing. (Find more honeymoon spots for skiing here.) Unwind after an active day in a hot tub with a stunning view of the valley.

The Trapp Family Lodge is a 45 minute drive from Burlington. Visit TrappFamily.com for reservations.
