美国度假行业孕育着私人俱乐部快速发展，从单一景点到全方位的休闲体验，这里是3500英亩的保护区，距离普罗维登斯只有半个小时车程，距离波士顿不到90分钟车程，而距离纽约只有三个小时车程。

这里你可以享受3杆18洞就可以获得奖励的高尔夫球场，在池塘里用假饵钓鱼，借助自行车或者远足探索无尽的山路，还有网球、骑马、高空滑索、独木舟、皮划艇、立式桨板、射箭、射击等活动。这些活动中比较有特色的是旅行帐篷中的雪茄和苏格兰威士忌体验之旅。

山顶酒店的主楼正前方是一个大型的木制平台，安放着两个豪华的非洲丛林营地风格的动物园帐篷，一个是雪茄主题，一个是苏格兰风格的格子呢。平台上还放置了户外家具和火坑，可以接受最多16个人的两个小时的团体活动预定，包括可以使用这两个帐篷。

保护区俱乐部选用了苏格兰艾雷岛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、精选、Lore 、 Quarter Cask，四款雪茄：康涅狄格公牛、红点公牛、黑巨人、皇家公牛。食物偏重开胃菜，包括奶酪、肉类和配菜的熟食饭。

你可以随时预定享受俱乐部的私人体验，最低花费只需要995美元。对于过夜住宿的客人，在周四和周日的时候，帐篷是正常开放的，并且点菜和订购没有最低消费的限制。你可以在一天的户外娱乐活动后享用一支雪茄，点不点威士忌和小吃都可以。

保护区俱乐部有各种房型可以出售，从公寓到豪华住宅，从54.9万美元到600万美元不等。对于短暂度假的人来说，最低500美元就可以住宿。不过一旦你入住，可能会沉醉其中，如果不买一套，很难说服自己离开。

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.
