A Taste of Merry Old England in a Cozy, Tudor-Style Inn

Since its founding in 1793, the town of Stowe has reinvented itself numerous times, from its early days as a potash-farming enclave to its brief stint as a Canadian smuggling outpost during the War of 1812. Stowe's streets and buildings are rife with American history, but today the town thrives as a mountain retreat with an artistic soul and an outdoorsy spirit. Just north of Main Street, Ye Olde England Inne, a sprawling Tudor-style manor, welcomes guests with a taste of merry old England. Straight-backed armchairs sit beside a roaring fire in the lobby, with English prints and paintings on the walls and a crimson carpet reminiscent of the old redcoat uniforms.

Housed within the inn, Mr. Pickwick's Gastropub and Steakhouse packs its pub cellars with several thousand bottles of wine, rare cognacs, and small-batch bourbons, as well as the requisite ales and lagers. An arched stone entryway leads to the pub's chummy, Old-World interior, where old-fashioned beer steins dangle from the rafters. More than just a watering hole, the restaurant also serves an inventive menu of seafood, fowl, and steak.

The inn’s Bluff House suites cushion overnighters in English-manor elegance with four-poster, rice-carved queen beds. Each suite features a fireplace, a lounge with wing chairs and cherry-wood furnishings, and a spacious bathroom outfitted with a jacuzzi tub. A private deck or patio connects to most suites, affording views of the village, Mount Mansfield, and the Green Mountains. Most standard rooms feature Victorian-style wallpaper and bright bedspreads atop brass beds.

Stowe, Vermont: Artistic Enclave Nestled at the Base of the Green Mountains

Ye Olde England Inne is set against the scenic backdrop of Vermont’s Green Mountains. The inn is centrally located in Stowe, so you'll have easy access to the historical village and its arts scene, which includes the West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park, a spacious enclave showcasing pieces by budding and mid-career local artists who work in a range of media.

Stowe's prime location in a broad, fertile valley between the Green Mountains and Mount Mansfield—Vermont's highest peak—makes it an ideal launching pad for outdoor activities. A recreation path through Stowe loosely follows the meandering West Branch River with 5.5 miles of paved trails for biking, rollerblading, and jogging. The winding path’s arched wooden bridges crisscross the river 10 times from start to finish. At nearby Underhill State Park, set at the base of the 4,300-foot-tall Mount Mansfield, you can practice butterfly mating calls on one of four hikes to the summit.

Historical Inn with Glass-Enclosed Porch Overlooking Lake

In the 19th century, some of the Northeast's industrial pioneers— including Silas March, an entrepreneur and New York state assemblyman—spent their idle days in a clapboard estate built along the shores of Mariaville. In 2003, husband-and-wife innkeepers Rick and Lorrie Runnels purchased this historical home and dubbed it the Mariaville Lake Bed and Breakfast. Since then, they've made extensive renovations while managing to preserve the building's casual, Federal-style elegance; it still has its original moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, and hardwood floors in some of the guest rooms.

The building is tucked into a woodsy area along the private, 200-acre Mariaville Lake, and it's a prime spot to get in some fishing and swimming. The B&B also owns two kayaks, one canoe, and one rowboat, which are all available for guests. Or feel free to take a stroll through the wealth of hiking trails that crisscross the property; one in particular leads to a beaver dam. In summer and fall, you can tell ghost stories and dry your laundry over a crackling bonfire in the evening.

The inn's five guest rooms are individually decorated, but all look out to Mariaville Lake. You have to use an old-fashioned skeleton key to get into the Vineyard and Lakeview rooms, as they are located in the original part of the house.

Come morning, the innkeepers serve a breakfast by candlelight in the formal dining room or on the glass-enclosed porch. The chefs prepare a different hot entree each morning, such as banana-stuffed french toast, veggie frittatas, or puffed apple pancakes. You can typically find house-made pastries, fresh juices, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, and tea.

Mariaville, New York: Small Town on the Shores of Mariaville Lake

Mariaville is part of the 18th century town of Duanesburg, located about 30 miles west of Albany. Thanks to its location along the 200-acre Mariaville Lake, the town became a resort community in the 1920s. Not a whole lot has changed since then; there's still only one traffic light in the city to date, and every high-school class is taught by the mayor.

The town of Schenectady offers a dose of culture fewer than 15 miles east. Aside from shopping and restaurants, you can find the historical Proctors Theater, which opened as a vaudeville venue in the early 20th century but sank into disrepair by the late 1970s. A group of concerned citizens rallied to restore the theater, which now hosts regular performances of ballets, musicals, comedians, and concerts.

Tour of Ireland's Countryside with Historical Hotel Stays

Few spots in Europe feel as timeless as the Irish countryside. The craggy, untouched coastline and rolling meadows dotted with herds of sheep and the occasional crumbling castle seem to belong to a faraway past, as though the Industrial Revolution never managed to jump the Irish Sea. From the Tudor stone houses of Kilkenny to the tombs of Boyne Valley, Authentic Ireland Travel's seven-day, six-night Historic Hotels of Ireland Tour offers a taste of the Emerald Isle, with a flexible itinerary and accommodations in centuries-old lodgings.

This deal does not include airfare. Click here to see a detailed trip itinerary.

Days 1–2: After arriving at Dublin Airport, you'll head to Kilkenny City, one of Ireland's oldest towns and home to an imposing 12th-century castle. Directly opposite the castle and the first stop on the tour of historical hotels, Kilkenny River Court Hotel makes a convenient base for exploring the medieval city's many pubs and craft shops. With the included rental car, you can also visit the historical sites in the surrounding countryside, including the monastic ruins of Kells Priory, which you can freely explore outside the company of tour guides and resident poltergeists.

Days 3–5: On the next leg of the journey, you'll stay at the gray-stone Cahernane House Hotel in rural Killarney on the edge of a mountainous national park. Built by the Earl of Pembroke's family in 1877, this stately manse is filled with Victorian antiques, grand velvets, and log fireplaces.

Over the next three days, you're free to explore the town's lively pub districts on Parliament and John Streets and the nearby valley for activities ranging from golf to canoeing. On day 4, a horse and carriage ride tours the countryside via scenic paths, making a short stopover at the 15th-century Ross Castle. Then it's off to the fishing village of Dingle, known for ancient beehive huts and its resident bottlenose dolphin, Fungie, who has inhabited the local waters since 1983. During a one-hour boat trip, you can watch him jump and play up close, as he often puts on a show for travelers.

Days 6–7: A 3.5-hour drive through Ireland's famously verdant countryside will put you at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, an 18th-century mansion tucked amid Boyne Valley's megalithic sites. Here, you can tour prehistoric burial sites such as Newgrange, a large mound built more than 5,000 years ago and filled with mysterious carvings and stone-passage tombs. On day 7, you'll head to Dublin for the return flight home or continue traveling at your own.

Smashing Resumes

Smashing Resumes' staff of PARW/CC-certified writers have composed more than 15,000 resumés for employees new to the work force, experienced professionals, and CEO-level candidates. Unlike an overseas corporation specializing in uncompleted memoirs, all the writing is done by an in-house team that's well versed in pointed turns of phrase to effectively convey your message. The team is also familiar with the human-resources industry, and to take the intimidation out of getting started, the staff demonstrates creative ways to showcase your experience. In addition to composing resumés from scratch, Smashing’s wordsmiths trim down existing works. They shape them into clean, effective summaries in an attractive format while pointing out areas lacking in information, prompting clients to provide specific information with questions such as "How many genies did you put in lamps?" Representatives can be reached by phone or through Skype, chat, and live web sessions to address any lingering concerns, and also assist with the job-hunting process via online webinars.

All-Inclusive Resort on the Caribbean Sea with Trapeze Lessons and Eclectic Dining

At Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, "all-inclusive resort" means much more than unlimited dinners and mai tais. Right in between the beach and the resort, you can learn how to trapeze at an open-air training facility surrounded by netting. Head up to the trapeze platform for a free lesson, and you can see the Caribbean Sea stretch out for miles right next to the resort's private, 5,000-foot stretch of pristine golden beach lined with palapas below.

The trapeze lesson is one of many ways the resort goes beyond the typical all-inclusive experience. When you're not relaxing at the beach, the all-inclusive plan frees you up to try a scuba-diving lesson, take yoga classes, climb a rock wall in the gym, or take in some live entertainment.

The beachfront resort is spread out like a small village, lined with flagstone pathways, landscaped gardens, three pools, and a shady coral stone grotto. At night, you can stop by the discotheque and dance to spicy meringue music, or head to the theater to enjoy a live performance of musicals such as Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. As the night winds down, stop for a midnight snack at the 24-hour pizzeria.

Guests can enjoy unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants and four bars, including La Terraza, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot that serves an international buffet. You can get a nice view of the sunset on the waterfront patio of La Roca Grill, which serves tropical cocktails and fried calamari.

Beachfront bungalows are located steps from the ocean, so guests can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and the squeals of dolphins watching horror films.

Bayahibe, Dominican Republic: Renowned Scuba Diving with White-Sand Beaches

Bayahibe is situated on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The former fishing village remained relatively untouched by tourism until the late 1990s, when it became known for its white-sand beaches and scuba-diving sites, but it still has a tucked-away feel.

For diving and snorkeling, it's worth it to take a trip to Saona Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located just off the mainland. Tour operators on catamarans and motorboats will drop you around the area's sandbars and shipwrecks, which overflow with brightly colored fish.

About 20 miles (32 km) from the hotel, the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavon are lined with artists' studios, galleries, and quaint cafés. The European-inspired village is also home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, which has featured headlining shows from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra and Shakira.
