Appalachian Trail Adventures (ATA) offers a distinctive adventure vacation with guided daily hiking, kayaking, and caving in the Green Mountains of Vermont that targets families who are adventurers, nature lovers, and those seeking an active vacation, including hikers who do not feel comfortable hitting the trails alone.
ATA provides an affordable all-inclusive fitness vacation giving a real Vermont outdoor adventure.  That’s why it has has the best spa vacation at the lowest possible prices, starting at $220.00 per night, per person, including taxes and gratuities.  Unlike most spas, ATA’s owner John Keough is engaged daily with the guests, encouraging them to get out of the fitness classroom and go hiking and kayaking.
ATA offers a variety of options to help customize one’s vacation. The most common is the Hiking Vacation Program that consists of an air-conditioned room with three daily spa meals, snacks, a guided novice, intermediate or advanced hike and an afternoon of kayaking, an excursion or caving. Massages, tennis lessons, cooking demonstrations and nutrition consultations with  Registered Dietitians are available a la carte.
There are both daily guided half day and full day hikes along the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail, with the shorter hikes followed by an afternoon of kayaking either on a lake or flat water river, caving, or an excursion to local attractions or the villages of Quechee, Manchester, Weston and historical Woodstock. Some of the attractions include the Vermont Country Store, Vermont’s largest corn maze, world famous Cabot cheese tasting facility, and much more.
ATA is very distinctive, offering outdoor activities the entire day followed by a delicious dinner with a glass of wine if desired and for those interested, finishing the night with a massage or even a dip in the hot tub. It is a very specialized vacation, and it would be hard to find the same activities elsewhere with the unparalleled customer service that ATA and the Summit Lodge provide.  They have a perfect five star rating on Tripadvisor from over 70 reviews.
