Inn at Vaucluse Spring- Stephens City, VA
The Inn at Vaucluse Spring is more of a compound than a hotel, consisting of 7 buildings scattered across an idyllic piece of land, with a crystal clear spring and mountain views. Rest assured, it's a Kennedy's on the Cape compound situation, rather than the Waco variety.

Mount Bleak House- Delaplane, VA
Delaplane, Virginia is a largely rural, agricultural area, known today for its many wineries. While not all of them actually produce good wine, they all are impossibly scenic. Most feature vast views of sweeping panoramas, including distant mountains and impossibly quaint stone houses. One such house is Mount Bleak, an 1843 five bay Federal Style farmhouse with a quirky Dutch door, named for its hilltop location.

Acadia National Park- Bar Harbor, ME
Acadia National Park is moody and somewhat morose in the winter, but also devoid of the summertime masses. Still breathtakingly beautiful, the dramatic rocky coastline and misty mountain lakes offer a quiet respite for intrepid offseason travelers.
