If you're getting stir crazy in the city, and want to take a vacation but don't have the budget for an airplane trip the Bahamas, then think about a cabin. The fall is the perfect time of year to take a trip out of the city and spend some time in a cabin. The weather is cool, but not so cold that you'll be freezing. You can get a chance to see the changing colors, and also enjoy the crisp mountain air. Here are three locations to consider.
Catskills
The Catskills are one of the more popular spots to vacation in. The area has a long history of being a destination point for people who want to escape the madness of the city for the quiet of the country. The area is home to a huge mountain range, as well as several beautiful rivers that provide vacationers with the chance to fish, raft, kayak or go tubing. There are several towns to look at. Some of the more popular ones include Hunter (home to a very cool skiing resort), Woodstock (which has lots of art galleries and cool cafes), and Monticello (close to Swinging Bridge Reservoir, a huge state park with fishing and boat rentals).
Poconos
The Poconos are a mountain range located in Pennsylvania. It is one of the more popular areas for vacationers because it is so close to the New York City metro area (only about a two hour commute). The area is divided into different "regions". There is a mountain region (perfect for people who want a high-altitude cabin in the woods) as well as a Lake region and River region. A cool spot to check out is the town of Stroudsburg . This is located in the "mountain" region, and it also has the benefit of being one of the larger towns. So, if you like the idea of a cabin, but want to be close enough to drive to a grocery store or restaurant, then Stroudsburg is a great choice.
Cape May, New Jersey
If you prefer to spend time near the ocean, then consider renting a cabin down near Cape May. This is located at the most southern point in New Jersey. It's right on the ocean, but the atmosphere is way more laid back than other Jersey shore towns. The area has a long history of being a cool spot for people who want to hang out at the ocean, but don't like the party atmosphere that is so prevalent in places such as Wildwood or Seaside Heights. Cape May is more of a throwback to when families and people looking for a low-key environment.
