Vermont Wellness Retreats & Spa Hotels

    Vermont's spa hotels are mostly full resorts with a spa attached. Topnotch Resort in Stowe has a 35,000-square-foot spa with a solarium pool, The Woodstock Inn & Resort has a spa with 10 treatment rooms, and The Equinox in Manchester pairs a spa with golf and falconry. Craftsbury Outdoor Center takes a different approach: it is a nonprofit center for skiing, sculling, running and biathlon.
