22 Gorgeous Inns And B&Bs For Your Next Fall Vacation

Fall is a magical time of year. The leaves start changing colors, the air gets crisp and cool, and you can now eat cider and donuts without regret. Do you remember driving around as a kid and taking in all the fall colors? If you love fall, it is also a great time to take a vacation and see the sights. New England, in particular, is a great place to visit as the leaves change their colors.

Here are some of the top inns and bed and breakfasts to put on your bucket list for a fall trip:

1. Maple Leaf Inn

Barnard, Vermont has the Maple Leaf Inn, which looks just like an old-fashioned farmhouse. There are amazing views of the surrounding mountains and acres upon acres of birch trees. It looks like a great romantic getaway and is very close to Woodstock, Vermont.

2. Mayor’s Mansion Inn

The Mayor’s Mansion Inn is historic in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They offer several ways to view the amazing fall foliage. You can take a boat ride on the Tennessee River or take a train ride on the Tennessee Valley Railroad and feel like you are going back in time.
