Take in the gorgeous natural splendor of Vermont's Green Mountains this summer while staying at a country inn for $79 per night.

This deal from the Cortina Inn & Resort saves up to 45% on current rates for travel daily through Sept. 20. Enjoy a breakfast buffet for two for an extra $10 per night.

For $119 per night, stay Sept. 23 - Oct. 31, including breakfast, and take advantage of the area's prime fall foliage season.

The inn, set on 32 manicured acres with extensive gardens, woods and a pond, is surrounded by 100 miles of marked trails for self-guided mountain biking. Hikers can hit the Appalachian Trail, which is a mile from the property.

Back at the hotel, enjoy amenities including an indoor swimming pool and exercise room. Most rooms have a balcony or terrace. The towns of Rutland and Woodstock are a 15- to 20-minute drive away and offer a host of shopping and dining opportunities.

Note: A minimum two-night stay is required for weekends.

Not available: Sept. 28-29; Oct. 5-6
