Fall New England Trip

Not sure where to post this. Want to do a 2 week trip to New England in the fall with my husband. Would like to eat well and see some nice senery. Not sure where to go or what to do. Any ideas would be appreciated. Please help!



Fall New England Trip


New Hampshire is where I go for fall senery, good food, and cozy New England atmosphere. Specifically I like Jackson New Hampshire. There are some good Country Inns and B%26amp;Bs. Its only a short ride up to Mt. Washington where the views are amazing. You can take a lot of hiking trips so see beautiful waterfalls. There are also clothing outlets in Conway which is just down the road. Check out my reviews for two places I%26#39;ve stayed in Jackson. Fell free to ask any more questions.



Fall New England Trip


Coast of Maine with a must stay for at least a few days in Bar harbor.Acadia national park is a wonderful place in the fall and you will love new england lobster. Mysic is a small nice histoic town but can be seen in an overnight...not much going on,kind of sleepy.The berkshires...great barrington,lenox etc in mass offer a wide range of restaurants,museums and scenery.




Thank you for the replies. Anyone have a good 2 week itinerary? Is there a place to stay that you can get to most places or should we rent a car a drive around. Either way works for us. My husband and I like to hike and take pictures, eat good food and have some nightlife. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!




You could do a lot in 2 weeks. If you%26#39;ve never been to Boston you should spend some time there and then rent a car and drive up into the White Mountains of NH. I stick by Jackson, NH. The Inn at Ellis River is right across from an Irish pub with good night life. As for time frame; I%26#39;d shoot to be in the White Mountains for Columbus Day weekend.




You should also check out the Castle in the Clouds near Lake Winnipesaukee (sp?). It was very interesting and although I wasn%26#39;t there during the fall I%26#39;m sure the view is amazing.

Where are you flying into?If you are heading to nyc first there are some posts on that forum...I would try to pick 3-4 areas and explore...


1-The berkshires you can stay at the Cranwell in Lenox or there are many b%26amp;amp;b%26#39;s,lots of history,museums and simple small towns.


2-Vermont-Manchester has the equinox resort and there is also the woodstock in in woodstock,vt.Of course there are many things to see/do/eat etc check with the vermont forums.


3-New Hampshire as noted by other posters but I would end up in my all time fall favorite Maine.


4-Bar harbor Maine, you could really spend a week here and still have more to see and do.I like the Bar Harbor Inn as it has some great views of the harbor.


As I said before the best thing would be to give us an idea of where you want to fly in and out of and what you realyy hope to do and go to the individual states for more forum research.




Not sure where we are flying into yet. Kind of waiting to hear what you all have to say about where to go and what to do. We are pretty much open to anything at this point. Just trying to get ideas because I know we need to book soon. Please keep the ideas coming.... Thanks!




Put this post on the Boston forum. You%26#39;ll probably get lots of responses.




This is a good place to post! Anywhere New England is good. Depending on what you are interested in... The Berkshires of Western Mass offer art, culture, fine dining and foliage at its best. Lenox, MA. is known for this... The Litchfield Hills of CT as well... great restaurants and historic sites everywhere. Southeastern CT offers New London, Mystic, Stonington Borough... all wonderfully light up with colors. Restaurants galore... Bravo Bravo, Azu, Daniel Packer Inne in Mystic, Noahs and Water Street Grill in Stonington, Brie %26amp; Bleu in New London etc....

So many times when people think of New Hampshire they only think of the White Mts. While they are beautiful the rest of the state has its own treasures to offer visitors. The southwest corner is full of idyllic villages, covered bridges, nice hiking trails, picture perfect scenery, apple orchards, ponds to canoe or kayak, bird migrations, anitques,farmer%26#39;s markets, artisan shops, museums, etc. The seacoast and lakes regions have gardens and cruises, nature centers, etc. All areas have a wide variety of restaurants and offer plenty of lodging options,but you will need to make reservations soon, especially on the weekends,Sunday through Thursday will be a little easier to find rooms.
