Summer’s Finale Is Approaching

Crisp air, glowing foliage, and pulling out those cozy sweaters are in the near future.

Whether your ideal weekend involves flannel-worthy fireplaces, wine country adventures, or hiking trails with stellar views, there’s something appealing about a getaway that doesn’t involve a passport or jet lag.

I’ve rounded up some perfectly timed weekend escapes that capture everything great about the season, plus the exclusive perks that make these trips (and others) even sweeter when you book through me.

Cozy Travel Tips

The secret to a great getaway isn’t just about the destination, but also what you do when you get there.

These small details can transform your trip from just another busy weekend to a true getaway.

📍Go local: Support small businesses, farms, wineries, and artisans. Getting a sense of the local offerings makes for great memories and keepsakes to remind you of your trip. 

📍Plan downtime: Bring a good book, your journal, or some cards. Run a bath. Take a walk. Stargaze. Embrace the slow pace.

📍Pack layers: Think chunky knits, scarves, and rain gear. Don’t forget a bathing suit for a potential hot tub moment.

Road Trips

These destinations are within driving distance of major cities, which makes getting away for a weekend easier than taking a flight. 

📎Asheville, North Carolina: Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains about four hours from Atlanta and Raleigh, and even closer to Charlotte, Knoxville and Columbia, Asheville has a great arts scene, plus laid-back dining and craft breweries.

📎Lake Geneva, Wisconsin: This year-round favorite is all about the views and historic mansions along its scenic path that surrounds the 21-mile lake. 

📎Barnard, Vermont: If you’re looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and eat well, Twin Farms is the perfect pick for any season. 

📎San Luis Obispo, California: Right between San Francisco and Los Angeles lies the Golden State’s other wine country, Paso Robles. San Luis Creek Lodge is a budget-friendly and stylish home base.
