Topnotch Resort.

Dating back to 1959, Topnotch Resort offers a boutique-scale mountain retreat on 120 wooded acres at the base of Mount Mansfield. With just 68 rooms and 20 resort homes, the property avoids the crowded feel of larger alpine lodges while delivering a heavy-hitting lineup of amenities. Active travelers are drawn to its premier tennis center—featuring ten indoor and outdoor courts—alongside easy access to hiking, biking, and skiing. After a day outdoors, guests can retreat to the destination spa, a 60-foot indoor solarium pool with a cascading waterfall hot tub, or the adults-only outdoor pool. Dining centers around The Roost, a laid-back spot serving organic-forward dishes, making it easy to spend an entire weekend recharging on-property without ever needing to leave.
