New England minimoon?

Kennebunkport, ME

Stowe, VT

Manchester, VT

Anywhere in the Litchfield Hills, CT

Newport, RI

The White Mountains are really pretty, I'm from around there if you need any references

A few years ago we found a great deal on Living Social (I think - or Groupon) to The Hermitage Club in Wilmington, VT, and I think they still do those deals. We had a wonderful long weekend there.

Newport, RI?

Bit more than 2 hours, but either the seacoast NH or up past the notch. We stayed at the Mountain View Grand in Whitefield, NH, for our minimoon by using a Groupon, so that could be an option for you

Were going on a mini moon in New England too! I'm sure this is further but we're going to Burlington/Stowe VT! It's right near Lake Champlain. So gorgeous there !

You could also do a Saratoga Springs, NY trip or Lake George.

I'm in Kennebunkport and I think it's about 3/3.5 to the NY line, so less depending on where you are. And it's always beautiful here that time of year!

Lake George, NY is really nice! I would check to see when most stuff closes for the season though! The adirondack mountains are also gorgeous in the fall!

I also second Saratoga, NY! Close to Lake George and a really cute town! I'm a local and I would recommend it

@Kate R I live in new England, October is super cold and most places have snow early october

No cabins but...

Newburyport MA

Portsmouth NH

Both we would be beautiful that time of year, and lots to do

I'm from the same area. What about heading to Montreal? Yeah not New England but pretty fun and a tad different...especially since after your it will be too cold for the cape and too warm for the slopes

Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I really need to say that most places in New England do NOT have snow in early October. That's a ridiculous statement.

Woohooo Im from Western Mass as well. We love Burlington Vermont, Hudson NY was really cute and we stayed in an awesome homeaway there.

Portsmouth, NH or Newburyport, MA are beautiful and have cute boutique downtown areas close to the water. Newport, RI is nautical, historic & offers lots to do any time of year. I would expect it to be the most expensive option, but it's my favorite!

October is super cold and snow in early October.. huh?! Hmm maybe cold at night I mean I can remember having to squeeze my winter coat under my power girl costume to go trick or treating but during the day it's beautiful classic New England fall... in terms of snow, very unlikely. Been to many a pumpkin patch in my day and maybe twice in 26 years was there snow ..

Salem, MA is always a great place to visit in October. It's very busy but lots of fun.

Come to Vermont! when is your wedding??? it's beautiful here in spring & fall!! always cabins here!!

Not entirely sure how far from you, but Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam are in NH and are gorgeous places. Laconia and Meredith are two cute towns on those lakes. You could probably get great airbnb cabin deals, or stay at one of the marinas on the lakes.

Newport RI. Gorgeous town, with lots to do. Waterfront hotels, many inns, great restaurants, shopping, there's a winery...so much to do. It's considered off season in October so you should be able to get some great deals.
