<h4>Lakes Region, New Hampshire: Charming Small Towns near Skiing amid Mountain Lakes</h4>

<p>Central New Hampshire&#8217;s picturesque Lakes Region centers around the largest lakes in the state: Lake Winnipesaukee.

<p>In spring and summer, you can easily navigate Lake Winnipesaukee&#8217;s spring-fed waters by boat—simply rent or charter a vessel or drop your own in the water at more than two dozen public boat launches.

      <title>Stay at Northern Outdoors in The Forks, ME. Dates Available into July.</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img align="right" alt="Stay at Northern Outdoors in The Forks, ME. Dates Available into July." src="http://www.groupon.com/deal/jJCcqjKAS3VhNj774zo7/oc-960x576.jpg" width="120" /><h4>Property at a Glance: Northern Outdoors</h4>

<p>Right outside these rustic log cabins, snowmobilers zip down trails that weave through clusters of pine trees and past the Kennebec River. Set in the wilderness of The Forks, Maine, the Northern Outdoors property resembles its own tiny village, with an onsite microbrewery and restaurant. There's even a large fireplace inside, so you can grab a book and unwind before a crackling fire. </p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Traditional pub fare</strong> such as hearty burgers and ribs are among the menu items at the onsite restaurant.  </li>
<li><strong>Sample small-batch, craft brews</strong> at Kennebec River Brewery. <em>Travel + Leisure</em> named it one of the coolest breweries in the U.S. </li>
<li><strong>Homey log cabins</strong> and larger Logdominiums come outfitted with kitchenettes and trimmed in woodsy decor.</li>
<li><strong>Free WiFi</strong> keeps you connected with the outside world; available in the lodge.</li>
</ul>

<h4>The Forks, Maine: Rushing Rivers and Snowmobile Trails </h4>

<p>The Kennebec and Dead Rivers rush over rugged rock ledges fringed by dense patches of forest. It's a landscape tailor-made for outdoor adventure. In winter, travelers come here to ride snowmobiles over 150 miles of twisting trails in winter, and snowmobile rentals and tours are offered to guests. In warmer weather, you can mountain bike and raft over Kennebec Gorge's Class-IV whitewater rapids. For a more leisurely trek, hike to Moxie Falls, which cascades down a 90-foot rock wall into a pool surrounded by foliage. </p>

</ul>

<h4><i>Sister Act</i></h4>

<p>A convent is the last place you&#8217;d expect to find smart-mouthed disco diva Deloris Van Cartier. Which is exactly why she&#8217;s there: after she witnesses her mobster boyfriend commit murder, the cops transform her into Sister Mary Clarence and convey her into the hands of a no-nonsense Mother Superior for her own protection. </p>

<p>Whoopi Goldberg made the role her own in the 1992 film, but the acclaimed new Broadway version adds some extra twists and glitz. This time around, Deloris&#8217;s tale gets the musical and sartorial stylings of the 1970s. Instead of oldies there&#8217;s a whole new set of originals that play both sides of the secular/spiritual divide, boasting titles including &#8220;It&#8217;s Good to be a Nun,&#8221; &#8220;Haven&#8217;t Got a Prayer,&#8221; and &#8220;Take Me to Heaven.&#8221; (Composer Alan Menken won some of his eight Oscars for work on films including <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>, and <i>Little Shop of Horrors</i>.) The songs propel the plot as Deloris—naturally—transforms the convent&#8217;s tone-deaf choir into a starring musical attraction, while trying to fly under the radar of the mob.</p>

<h4><i>Victor/Victoria</i></h4>

<p>Sometimes the role of a lifetime finds you instead of the other way around. That&#8217;s the case for Victoria, a struggling nightclub singer who, after being convinced by a manager to create a male character who acts as a female impersonator, becomes an instant star in the Paris art scene. There&#8217;s just one problem: a Chicago mobster ends up falling for the character, not the performer, thus sparking a madcap misadventure of romance and identity.</p>

<p>Originally a 1933 German comedy called <i>Viktor und Viktoria</i> before it morphed into a 1982 film starring Julie Andrews, <i>Victor/Victoria</i> was revived as a Broadway musical with Blake Edwards at the helm and Henry Mancini penning the score. Mancini&#8217;s songs, including &#8220;If I Were a Man,&#8221; &#8220;Almost a Love Song,&#8221; and &#8220;Le Jazz Hot!,&#8221; enhanced the eccentric wit of the script, helping earn the musical a Tony nod and two Drama Desk Awards.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3>]]>

<h4>Hotel at a Glance: The Lodge at Turbat&#8217;s Creek</h4>

<p>At The Lodge at Turbat&#8217;s Creek, you can almost smell the sea air as it breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and through the trees. The lodge is close to Kennebunk&#8217;s beaches, and the concierge can provide discounted passes.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Complimentary continental breakfast:</strong> Start your day with muffins, pastries, and freshly brewed locally roasted coffee.</li>
  <li><strong>Homey guest rooms</strong> are decorated with floral accents; all feature cable TV and free WiFi to keep you connected to the outside world.</li>
  <li><strong>The heated outdoor pool</strong> opens Memorial Day weekend, so you can go for a swim in its soothing salt water.</li>

<h4>Kennebunkport, Maine: Coastal Village Lined with Centuries-Old Homes</h4>

<p>Situated on the southern coast of Maine, Kennebunkport is more than 300 years old, with many homes dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the town is notable for being a summer destination for the well-heeled, including former president George H. W. Bush. Take a trolley ride to get a nice view of both Kennebunkport and its neighbor Kennebunk, as well as the coastline and a handful of beaches.</p>

<p>Kennebunkport&#8217;s Dock Square is lined with art galleries, bookstores, and restaurants housed in classic New England clapboard buildings. Nearby, Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge stretches along 50 miles of coastline and acts as a sanctuary for migratory birds and runaway teen marine biologists. The refuge features nature trails that wind past a variety of habitats, including estuaries, salt marshes, and boreal forest.</p>

      <title>1-Night Stay for Two in a King Room at Captain Lindsey House in Rockland, ME. Combine Up to 4 Nights.</title>

<h4>Hotel at a Glance: Captain Lindsey House</h4>

<p>More than 150 years ago, Captain George Lindsey hung his sea-captain&#8217;s hat inside the Federal-style home that would become one of Rockland&#8217;s first inns. Captain Lindsey House has since grown into a successful bed and breakfast.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Walk to the waterfront</strong>: Lermond Cove and the ferry terminal are just a block away. </li>
  <li><strong>Snuggle by the fire</strong>: Guest rooms have been renovated recently and feature electric fireplaces.</li>
  <li><strong>Modern touches</strong> include free WiFi and boldly patterned rugs and accents. </li>
  <li><strong>Press accolades</strong>: CNN Money singled out the bed and breakfast when it picked Rockland as 1 of the &#8220;10 great last-minute summer getaways,&#8221; and <em>Frommer&#8217;s</em> writes that the inn possesses &#8220;a good dose of throwback-Maine character and some of the friendliest inn owners on the entire Midcoast.&#8221;</li>
</ul>

<h4>Rockland, Maine: Historic Shipping Hamlet on the Atlantic Coast</h4>

<p>Rockland&#8217;s granite breakwater stretches for nearly a mile into the harbor, to a century-old red-brick lighthouse that still guides boats to the shore. If you&#8217;re visiting Rockland for the first time, a tour of the lighthouse is a nice place to start, or book one of the local sunset cruises. You could also snag a spot along the pier to cast out for sand sharks and rock bass. </p>

<p>Naturally, the water has been central to Rockland&#8217;s growth. A shipping hamlet in the late 18th century, the village has become a tourist destination in the years since, landing on CNN Money&#8217;s list of the top 10 best last-minute summer destinations. Each August, folks flock to Rockland to sample fresh-caught lobster, steamed crabs and mussels at the Maine Lobster Festival. If you&#8217;re not here in August, you can still head downtown to bite into succulent fresh-caught shrimp at one off the many seafood restaurants. </p>

<p>A few local museums make for an educational afternoon on a rainy day. At the Maine Lighthouse Museum, visitors get a glimpse into the history of lighthouses by exploring a collection of historic Coast Guard items and Fresnel lenses. You can also take in paintings of Maine&#8217;s idyllic landscape at the Farnsworth Art Museum, which exhibits works by a young Andrew Wyeth.</p>

      <title>1- or 2-Night Stay for Up to Six at Lake Parlin Lodge &amp; Cabins in Parlin Pond, ME. Combine Up to 8 Nights.</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img align="right" alt="1- or 2-Night Stay for Up to Six at Lake Parlin Lodge &amp; Cabins in Parlin Pond, ME. Combine Up to 8 Nights." src="http://www.groupon.com/deal/htrAVjzu9tmkBdYENjo1/69-960x582.jpg" width="120" /><p></p>

<h4>Hotel at a Glance: Lake Parlin Lodge &amp; Cabins</h4>

<p>It&#8217;s easy to commune with nature at Lake Parlin Lodge &amp; Cabins in western Maine. The <a href="http://lakeparlinlodge.com/lodge-rooms/">main lodge</a> and modern log <a href="http://lakeparlinlodge.com/maine-cabin-rentals/">cabins</a> sit right along the shores of Lake Parlin, with big front porches overlooking the glassy water. In the summer and autumn, you can go fishing, kayaking, and canoeing to the haunting cry of loons; kayaks and canoes are available free of charge.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Lakefront cabins</strong> boast full kitchens, propane fireplaces, and flat-screen satellite TVs. Comfy lodge rooms also have satellite television and heated bathroom floors.</li>
  <li><strong>Cast your line out</strong> for 12- to 14-inch brook trout and salmon in Lake Parlin and nearby mountain streams.</li>
  <li><strong>Local wildlife</strong>: Be on the lookout for moose—they occasionally trek across the property in the early morning. </li>
  <li><strong>Complimentary WiFi</strong> available throughout the property</li>
</ul>

<h4>Parlin Pond, Maine: Hiking, Hunting, and Snowmobiling in Western Maine</h4>

<p>Outdoor adventure rules in Parlin Pond. The community is nestled in the wilderness of western Maine, where you can hike year-round through rolling forests crisscrossed with icy mountain streams (while hiking, keep your eyes peeled for shed moose antlers). In the warmer months, white-water rafting on the Kennebec and Dead Rivers is a popular pursuit. Hunting is too: the area is rife with moose, white-tailed deer, and ruffed grouse. </p>

<p>Once snow falls, snowmobiling takes center stage. Parlin Pond has some of the northeast&#8217;s best snowmobiling conditions, thanks to an annual snowfall of more than 10 feet. Rent equipment in town and head to the top of Coburn Mountain, the state&#8217;s highest groomed point. </p>

      <title>Stay at Merrill Farm Inn in North Conway, NH, with Dates into June</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img align="right" alt="Stay at Merrill Farm Inn in North Conway, NH, with Dates into June" src="http://www.groupon.com/deal/fY5ei3EMWSyiDXFRPf2d/nq-2048x1229.jpg" width="120" /><p></p>

<h4>Hotel at a Glance: Merrill Farm Inn </h4>

<p>Like many New England properties, Merrill Farm Inn has a history that predates the American Revolution. The plot of land was purchased in 1766 by Thomas Merrill, a lieutenant in the French and Indian War, and the inn was built in 1885. Stroll along the historic halls to the game parlor, where you can play dozens of board games and puzzles.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Free food</strong>: Wake up with a continental breakfast of cereal, fruit, and housemade muffins with maple butter. In the afternoon, grab a housemade cookie and a beverage before dinner.</li>
  <li><strong>Recently renovated rooms</strong> come with mini fridges and complimentary WiFi.</li>
  <li><strong>Go mountain biking</strong> at Attitash Mountain Resort in nearby White Mountain National Forest beginning in late May.</li>
  <li><strong>Go canoeing</strong> along the Saco River in a rental canoe during warmer months.</li>
</ul>

<h4>North Conway, New Hampshire: Historical Town amid the White Mountains</h4>

<p>Idyllic North Conway was established in the foothills of the White Mountains in 1765. It’s home to the region’s highest peak, Mount Washington, which tops out at 6,288 feet. Climb aboard the Conway Scenic Railroad to see the surrounding countryside and rolling White Mountains. It’s also worth exploring the railroad’s carefully preserved North Conway train station, a National Historic Landmark that opened in 1874.</p>

<p>This swath of New England is perhaps best known for its downhill skiing. At Cranmore Mountain Resort, skiers glide down 57 trails and snowboarders catch air in numerous terrain parks. At the base of the mountain, there’s a tubing park with 10 lanes and a convenient tow lift. For a bigger adrenaline rush, try the Mountain Coaster, which clips along at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour.</p>
