New England Trip in Two Weeks - Suggestions?

[brewsmith]

My wife and I are taking 5 days to get out of town in a couple weeks. We're flying in to Boston and looking for 2 places to get an AirBnB for a few days each. I have never been to VT, so that's high on my list, specific locals/areas to target would be appreciated. What else would be on your bucket list? We won't be bringing bikes, but love to hike, explore small town, find unique tours/experiences etc.

It's a broad ask I know, but anything you got will help narrow it down. Thanks all!
