A man's home is his castle, unless his home is a castle, in which case a man's castle is his castle. Today's Groupon gives the stress-besieged a castle-home away from their home-castle just in time for snowfall: for $99, you get a one-night stay at Castle Hill Resort and Spa (up to a $299 value) in Cavendish, Vermont (three hours from Boston). Depending on availability, patrons can stay in either a queen castle room or a condominium suite. This Groupon also includes two $25 vouchers to be used toward separate 50-minute massages ($115–$125) at the resort's Aveda Concept Spa. Additionally, you will receive another voucher for $25 off a three-course prix fixe dinner for two (average $42–$55 per person) at Castle Hill’s restaurant.

Situated near Ludlow and surrounded by Vermont’s scenic Green Mountains, Castle Hill Resort and Spa's exquisite lodgings offer elegant amenities, fetching gardens, spa services, and gourmet dining fit for royalty and even soap-opera stars. Visitors can pamper themselves in period-styled rooms and charming suites furnished with private baths and cable TV. Hit the outdoors to build a softball team of snowpeople, or warm all three hands by the decorative fireplaces. Guests can relax in the hot tub, take in a yoga class in the solarium, or solve murder mysteries in the library. By the time you head home, you'll have shed the stress and skin grime accumulated after months of Sahara sun tanning and wrestling bouts with subway-dwelling crocodiles.

Weekend getaways to a boss’s beachside pad seem like a good idea until he bites the dust and forces you to spend the rest of the weekend partying with his corpse. Today's Groupon to Castle Hill Resort and Spa ensures a more relaxing respite amid gorgeous confines and peaceful, natural landscapes. Call to reserve your room.

Reviews

TripAdvisors give Castle Hill Resort and Spa a 4-owl-eye average.

• The hotel is really old, but very well kept. We didn't hear any of our neighbors, and the spa and pool area are incredible! I've stayed in some fancy hotels, but the experience of staying in The Castle is one I won't soon forget. Beautiful, well kept, and the staff was beyond friendly. – CTPSSUN, TripAdvisor
• It is exactly like getting to live in another time. Everything is period. You feel like you are touring a historical home, but you get to actually sit on the furniture and have cocktails before dinner in the library. The service is great. The restaurant is delicious; it is a wonderful escape. – TrizBiz, TripAdvisor
