Jackson Hole, WY
Wyoming is a wonderland. So much to do, so much to see, so much open space. The town of Jackson retains a rustic Old West vibe, while Jackson Hole’s Teton Village is its more sophisticated sibling of sorts. While the area is known for its skiing, late summer is a magnificent time to visit and explore the mountain sans snow, or at least significantly less of it. Mere miles from Grand Teton National Park, your outdoor adventures are only limited by your ability. Which you absolutely should be honest with yourself about; there are some serious hikes out there, but also alternatives for the less athletic.

Omni Mount Washington- Bretton Woods, NH
Omni as a company does a wonderful job with historic properties. They manage to update and modernize iconic hotels, while retaining original details that make the hotels so unique. Omni Mount Washington is a shining example. It is perhaps one of the grandest of the Grand Dames. And the location isn’t half bad either.
