美國度假行業孕育著私人俱樂部快速發展，從單一景點到全方位的休閑體驗，這里是3500英畝的保護區，距離普羅維登斯只有半個小時車程，距離波士頓不到90分鐘車程，而距離紐約只有三個小時車程。

這里你可以享受3桿18洞就可以獲得獎勵的高爾夫球場，在池塘里用假餌釣魚，借助自行車或者遠足探索無盡的山路，還有網球、騎馬、高空滑索、獨木舟、皮劃艇、立式槳板、射箭、射擊等活動。這些活動中比較有特色的是旅行帳篷中的雪茄和蘇格蘭威士忌體驗之旅。

山頂酒店的主樓正前方是一個大型的木制平臺，安放著兩個豪華的非洲叢林營地風格的動物園帳篷，一個是雪茄主題，一個是蘇格蘭風格的格子呢。平臺上還放置了戶外家具和火坑，可以接受最多16個人的兩個小時的團體活動預定，包括可以使用這兩個帳篷。

保護區俱樂部選用了蘇格蘭艾雷島拉弗格威士忌和非古的高希霸雪茄。包括五款威士忌：10年、25年、精選、Lore 、 Quarter Cask，四款雪茄：康涅狄格公牛、紅點公牛、黑巨人、皇家公牛。食物偏重開胃菜，包括奶酪、肉類和配菜的熟食飯。

你可以隨時預定享受俱樂部的私人體驗，最低花費只需要995美元。對于過夜住宿的客人，在周四和周日的時候，帳篷是正常開放的，并且點菜和訂購沒有最低消費的限制。你可以在一天的戶外娛樂活動后享用一支雪茄，點不點威士忌和小吃都可以。

保護區俱樂部有各種房型可以出售，從公寓到豪華住宅，從54.9萬美元到600萬美元不等。對于短暫度假的人來說，最低500美元就可以住宿。不過一旦你入住，可能會沉醉其中，如果不買一套，很難說服自己離開。

In the fast evolving private-club model of the American vacation industry—the one that’s veering from single focus to a you-can-have-it-all esthetic—few measure up to the 3,500-acre Preserve, half an hour from Providence, less than 90 minutes from Boston and under three hours from New York City.

There you can play the award-winning 18-hole par-3 golf course, fly-fish in stocked ponds, explore endless mountain biking and hiking trails, play tennis, horseback ride, zip-line, canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, practice archery and shoot firearms. But unique among the offerings is the club’s most inactive activity: the “Safari Tent Scotch & Cigar Tasting Experience.”

Located just below the main Hilltop Lodge is a large wooden platform with two luxury African bush camp-style safari tents, one cigar themed, the other Scottish and full of clan tartans. The platform also has outdoor furniture and firepits and is usually bookable for just a single private group two-hour experience for up to 16 people, including both tents.

The Preserve has partnered with the Islay Scotch distillery Laphroaig and Dominican cigar brand Cohiba for a cigar and single-malt menu, which includes five whiskies (10-year, 25-year, Select, Lore and Quarter Cask) and four stogies (Connecticut Toro, Red Dot Toro, Black Gigante and Royale Toro). Food options skew towards heavy appetizers, with charcuterie boards of cheese, meats and accompaniments.?

The private experience can be booked almost any time (minimum spend $995), but for overnight resort guests, on Thursdays and Sundays, the tents operate like a cigar lounge, open to anyone who wants to drop in, with a la carte ordering and no minimum, so you can just enjoy a single cigar, with or without whisky, and snacks after a day of outdoor fun.

The Preserve’s wide range of residential ownership opportunities run from condos to luxury homes that run from $549,000 to $6 million to buy. While its overnight accommodations (starting at $500) welcome anyone seeking a quick escape vacation, be forewarned, it may be hard to leave without some newly acquired real estate.
