From stunning peaks in New Hampshire to under-the- radar Gold Rush-era hamlets in California, read on for our favorite mountain town getaways.

When West Virginia calls, heed its siren! Make your home away from home The Historic General Lewis Inn which offers an apothecary-meets- antique store vibe, thanks to recent renovations. When hunger strikes, stroll over to Hill & Holler Pizza and order yours with extra foraged mushrooms. Burn off the calories on the Greenbrier River Trail where you can partake in horseback riding or backpacking. This summer, you'll also want to pack your picnic blanket and set up shop at The Ivy Terrace Concert Series, held the second and last Thursday of the month, June through August. It's the perfect place to indulge in some good (free!) music and that last slice of leftover pizza.
