If we had to choose eight
communities to stay during the New England fall foliage season...
(VisitingNewEngland.com,
posted 8/2/07)
All communities in New England
have fall foliage, but the key is to find lodging in a vacation
town that offers the option to do lots of things -- or just plain
relax.
There's really nothing like experiencing
the refreshing fall air, rustling though leaves at a classic
New England town common, a wonderland of fall foliage colors
during a Sunday drive, the taste of apple cider and the fresh
taste of a freshly-picked apple at an apple orchard, and experiencing
true New England community spirit during a fall festival.
We recommend the following resort
towns because of their lodging options, true New England community
spirit and "look" and the potential to see some amazing
fall foliage. Each link will take you to a list of hotels, motels,
inns and bed and breakfasts in that area, including descriptions,
photos and the chance to make instant reservations (and memories)
online:
| Lenox
MA hotel guide Often thought of as one of the most pleasant
Berkshire Mountains vacation destinations, this small town --
best known for the Tanglewood Music Festival summer concert series
-- offers rural beauty and splendid lake and mountain views.
It is a town of a town of quaint shops, fine dining choices,
and historic buildings. During its peak, the fall foliage ranks
up there with the best in New England. |
| Stockbridge
MA hotel guide This appealing Berkshire Mountains town has
one of the nicest small New England downtowns, anchored by locally-owned
businesses and the landmark Red Lion Inn. Stockbridge has been
made famous by James Taylor ("Sweet Baby James)" and
Norman Rockwell (there is a Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge). |
| Sturbridge
MA hotel guide On Route 20, Sturbridge is a mish-mash of
stores and lodging, but serves as a great starting point to Old
Sturbridge Village, an outdoor living museum recreating the 1830s
and the lovely, unspoiled Quobaog Hills Region. Here, you can
find some of New England's most beautiful, virtually untouched
towns and villages (West Brookfield, Brookfield, Brimfield, etc.)
with appealing town commons, country stores, apple orchards,
fresh air, nice country drives and some truly colorful fall foliage. |
| Bretton
Woods NH hotel guide This mountain resort town is right near
Mt. Washington the highest point in New England at 6,288 ft.
It's a resort area at the base of the mountain where the foliage
and nearby fall events and attractions make for a perfect, scenic
New England autumn destination. |
| Jackson
NH hotel guide A famous covered bridge, Wildcat River's water
rushing over rock formations and Storyland (storybook settings
for children in this theme park) highlight this quiet New Hampshire
retreat in White Mountain National Forest. |
| North
Conway NH hotel guide It's busier than in the past -- thanks
to outlet stores -- but with views of Mt. Washington, lots of
shopping, dining, and scenery galore (including proximity to
the foliage famous Kancamagus Highway), North Conway is a splendid
New Hampshire foliage destination. |
| Stowe
VT Hotel Guide The tall white church steeple, panoramic mountain
and farm views, and a relaxing, classic small downtown with a
general store make Stowe the quintessential Vermont town. |
| Woodstock
VT Hotel Guide Woodstock is another beautiful Vermont small
town, often referred to as the town you'd most likely see on
a postcard. Although modern shops and restaurants line the downtown,
there is an old-fashioned charm to Woodstock that has a timeless
feel. |
