Weekend birthday trip help

Ok guys, I want to go somewhere in one of the upcoming weekends that’s anywhere up to a 6 hour drive from central CT for a birthday weekend. Things I’m looking for, outdoor activities, I like fun stuff the white water rafting, hiking, rockhounding etc. just to give you an idea of the vibe. I also would like to be able to rent a house/cabin that’s somewhere quiet BUT also have a good restaurant (like actually good) that’s in reasonable droving distance. I was thinking outside of Montpelier, VT but that’s really based on nothing! Hit me up with your fav spots, please
