It’s not often we hear of a resort that offers both luxury and adventure. And yet, that is exactly what awaits you at The Equinox. New England tradition meets sophisticated modern touches at this luxury Vermont resort that boasts one-of-a-kind attractions and accommodations.

Equinox’s adventure packages make it easy to sample the best of Manchester Village and surrounding area attractions. Get an adrenaline rush with one of the world’s oldest sports at the British School of Falconry – the first of its kind in the nation – as you learn to handle and fly Harris hawks. The resort’s Stiletto to the Metal package is a close second, pairing extreme pampering at the Spa with lessons at the nearby Land Rover driving school for the ultimate luxury adventure. Orvis fly fishing and hunting schools are also nearby, as is the award-winning Golf Club at the Equinox. The Equinox’s lavish guest rooms are spacious yet intimate, with custom made beds, plush pillows and views of Equinox Mountain. Beautifully-appointed guestrooms in the 1811 House, a romantic country inn and the former home of Abraham Lincoln’s granddaughter, are the perfect place to retire to after a day of adventurous pursuits. We recommend the Mary Lincoln Isham room, where period décor (think claw foot bathtubs and canopy beds) merge with modern comforts like heated bathroom floors.
