Looking for a new place this year?

Re: Where's your family fall getaway???

We went to Mohonk Mountain House in June, and we're thinking about going back in Oct/early Nov for fall foliage. It's not too far, and includes all food (delicious!). They were very accomodating w/ DS (11 months when we went in June).

ETA: It's in New Paltz.

Growing up, we went every year to Kent Falls in Kent, CT. Cute tiny park with a covered bridge and small water fall with a walking (climbing) path to go up, grassy hill for playing, picnicing. Nearby cute little town with shops. Other covered bridges and falls near by. Not far, about 2 hours. Great day trip.

I went to high school in Kent!!!! It is such a beautiful little town. I think it was actually just voted best location in the country for fall foliage!

it has the cutest little bakery in town, along with an old time toy shop.

Beth, you're from the area...the leaves will be gone then, right? Peak is usually Columbus Day weekend & when I lived there they were booked a good year in advance that week/weekend.


We just head to my house upstate during the fall time. This year we'll miss peak, but hope to head up the end of this month & again in Nov.Chat Icon

Re: Where's your family fall getaway???

We are Upstate in Saratoga Co., we usually do a bunch of day trips in the fall up north to Lake George, North Creek or Blue Mountain. There is the Essex Steam train in CT that is a lot of fun this time of year, there is also a Maple Farm in Western Mass we like to go to.

We are going to do some apple picking locally next weekend.

Yes! How funny you remembered! Where is your house upstate? Peak is usually mid-Oct I think in the New Paltz area? I can check online. We were thinking of going for our anniversary Nov. 4, but I think that may be past peak, which is fine too...

I was born & raised in Columbia County. Just north of Dutchess.Chat Icon Now we keep the house so we can get away & have DS know where his Mama came from. Chat Icon

I think it's Columbus Day weekend. When I lived up there I always wanted to be married that weekend... Then I move down here & it threw everything offChat Icon

We'll take at least one trip to Amherst, MA to visit my sister at college. Side trip to Salem. This is her last year up there, so we want to bring DD and enjoy the country.
