9 Fall Weekend Getaways in the Country
The Lodge at Woodloch | Hawley, Pennsylvania
Yoga, spa treatments and cooking classes are a few of the relaxing-yet-invigorating activities on offer at this lodge in the lake region of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. All 58 rooms at The Lodge at Woodloch are sumptuous, with big beds and cozy armchairs that make getting up and going for a hike challenging, but muster the energy, there are vivid trees to see.

Hidden Pond | Kennebunkport, Maine
Quaint cottages, 36 of them, each unique, nestle guests within the trees and near the coast just outside Kennebunkport, Maine. Morning bakery baskets, fireplaces and screened porches are amongst Hidden Pond’s room amenities. Beyond that, there’s yoga classes, painting classes, delectable meals by award-winning chef Ken Oringer and more to indulge in.

Bedford Post Inn | Bedford, New York
Just one hour from New York City, in whimsical Westchester, the Bedford Post Inn provides a peaceful place to wind down from city life. There are but eight rooms, and most have fireplaces and terraces for taking in the wooded grounds. The perk afforded weekend visitors is a daily cocktail hour from 4 and 5 p.m.

Manoir Hovey | North Hatley, Quebec
An alternative to Vermont—it’s 20 minutes away across the Canadian border—Manoir Hovey serves up lakeside and a jaw-dropping display of seemingly lit-up leaves. Highlights of its 39 rooms are the quilt-covered beds, fireplaces and views of deep blue Lake Massawippi. The icing on the cake? The dining room’s legendary after-dinner cheese carts.

Blackberry Farm | Walland, Tennessee
Down South, the Smokey Mountains offer dendrophiles a show, and the 62-room Blackberry Farm makes an ideal perch (empty chairs lined up along the hillside await). It’s a working farm, so the food couldn’t be fresher. There’s also adventure to be had by way of fly fishing, horse riding, clay shooting or canoeing.

Triple Creek Ranch | Darby, Montana
A day at Triple Creek Ranch, in the Montana Rockies, starts with fresh baked cookies. Feast on fresh air during the day—they too will saddle guests up for horseback riding—and come evening, retreat to a one bedroom cabin with a wood-burning fire and private hot tub. Oh, and it’s all-inclusive too, so carting a wallet everywhere is another worry to rid oneself of.

Dunton Hot Springs | Dolores, Colorado
No two of 21 cabins are the same, but even if they weren’t it wouldn’t matter, because the landscape in this alpine valley within the Colorado Rockies is always changing. At all-inclusive Dunton Hot Springs, the best way to see the fiery autumn foliage is by horseback, followed up by a soak in one of six hot spring-fed pools on the property.

Meadowood Napa Valley | St. Helena, California
On a private acreage flush with trees and foliage in wine country, Meadowood Napa Valley has all the best autumnal delights. Along with bottles of California Cabernet Sauvignon, they serve up hiking, golfing, tennis, spa treatments and fine dining. But you might just be happy enough to curl up by your in-suite fireplace with a good book and a good glass of red.

The Lodge at St. Edwards State Park | Kenmore, Washington
Within a historic Romanesque revival building designed by John Graham Jr., this seminary-turned-hotel sits on the eastern shore of Lake Washington in the Pacific Northwest. With 326 acres of forest surrounding it, The Lodge at St. Edwards State Park serves up quite the color-changing show come fall.
