Jump scare! The year is flying by, seasons are changing, but fall is actually my favorite time of year.

As someone who loves to travel and holds destinations & accommodations to a high standard. Here's a list of my top recommended destination to travel to for a fall getaway!

?? Manchester, Vermont

There's no better place to witness the beautiful fall transition than in New England. The forests turn to a sea of red, orange and yellow, with crisp temperatures that are perfect for?outdoor adventures like hiking, apple picking (a New England staple) and exploring historic towns. New England also regularly hosts harvest festivals and fairs during the fall, some that date back to the founding of the United States.

Where to stay: Kimpton Taconic Hotel

The Taconic is a small boutique hotel that exemplifies New England charm. I love their farm-to-table dining, inviting atmosphere, and the hotel's proximity to quaint local shops and cultural attractions, makes it an ideal spot. Vermont is like "that girl" when it comes to fall trips, I've found myself having to book stays as far in advance as summer and spring. Just a heads up!

?? Park City, Utah

I was just in Park City for their wine festival last fall, you have to check it out! Park City’s ski season usually ramps up around Thanksgiving, but it’s worth visiting the city before the hustle and bustle beforehand. The city constantly hosts fall festivals and events, and the surrounding mountains and pine forests offer a tranquil backdrop for hiking, horseback riding and other outdoor activities.?

Where to stay: The Goldener Hirsch, Auberge Resorts Collection

The Goldener Hirsch is the gold standard for mountain resorts in Utah, in my opinion. The property blends an upscale rustic design with European ski lodge motifs. Depending on when you visit in fall, you can enjoy everything from river rafting to fly fishing!

?? South Carolina

I might be biased, because this is my home state. But anywhere in SC during the fall season is magical, from the city scape to the mountains, it's so lovely. One of my favorite destinations is Bluffton, it is a quiet and scenic region, where you can enjoy personalized boat tours or kayaking. Bluffton’s historic Old Town district offers a unique blend of Southern hospitality and artisanal shops, while the city’s many fall festivals celebrate local culture and cuisine.

Where to stay:?Montage Palmetto Bluff

Montage Palmetto Bluff is an upscale resort offering a blend of classic Southern sophistication and modern amenities. The resort is set on expansive and private 20,000 acres, with tons of outdoor activities to participate in like boating, fishing, golfing and nature trails.

?? The Hamptons

The Hamptons are a great place to visit in the fall, especially if you have taste for the finer things in life. While the beaches here are generally too cold for swimming by mid-fall, they’re still gorgeous, and the small town vibe offer a mix of luxurious dining and high-end shopping but in a laid-back setting. While visiting you can check out the local art galleries, historic sites and cultural festivals.

Where to stay:?The Roundtree, Amagansett?

The Roundtree, Amagansett is one of the Hamptons’ best places to stay in fall. Once you pull up, you'll notice that it looks like a modest cottage but in reality it is a spacious boutique hotel that was remodeled in 2020. The hotel features 14 rooms in classic cedar shingle buildings, including a main house, barn and multiple cottages.?

I also love Colorado (Denver and Aspen!), Massachusetts and Connecticut all make for the perfect fall getaway. MA to CT is a short under 4 hour drive in distance, can't beat that!

I also can't recommend Nantucket Island enough. During the fall season Nantucket is magical. Temperatures hover between 50 and 65 degrees and the island starts to transform into a colorful landscape of fall foliage. The beaches are quiet and the town becomes much quieter with less tourists.
