Trapp Family Lodge
Stowe, Vermont
This place is frozen in time. The Austrian-inspired retreat is still serving up the same charming family fun it did when it was founded in 1950 by the Von Trapps (of The Sound of Music fame): potato-sack races in the snow, homemade cider, nature tours, maple-sugaring lessons, sledding, building snow forts, and sing-alongs.
The rooms are nicely decorated, though they're not stuffed with antiques that you have to worry the kids might break. There are cross-country and snowshoeing trails on site, and if your clan wants to go downhill skiing the resort is about a ten-minute drive from the slopes at Stowe. Hot chocolate and homemade doughnuts welcome guests at check-in. Rates start at $225 per night.
