Craving cozy inns, seaside strolls, and mountain sunsets? I know the feeling well. Over the years, I’ve uncovered some truly special places—spots where time slows down, the air feels fresher, and every moment invites you to reconnect. Whether you’re drawn to the coast or the hills, I’ve found escapes with just the right mix of charm, beauty, and peace. These escapes are perfect if you and your partner are looking to step away from the noise and simply savor each other’s company.

Highlights:

  • I’ve stayed at some charming B&Bs tucked into Vermont’s Green Mountains—you’ll love waking up to homemade maple syrup and misty trails just outside your door.
  • Coastal retreats in Cape Cod and Nantucket have become my go-tos for quiet beach walks and that salty, fresh air that instantly relaxes you.
  • In Newport, Rhode Island, I once spent an unforgettable weekend in a historic inn with harbor views—it’s the kind of place you never want to leave.
  • Driving through New Hampshire in the fall? You’ll see foliage so vibrant it stops you in your tracks. I always recommend taking the backroads—you’ll find covered bridges and postcard-worthy scenes around every bend.
  • And when I need pure pampering, I escape to the Berkshires in Massachusetts. A luxury spa weekend here feels like a reset for both body and soul—you’ll come back feeling refreshed and closer than ever.
