Autumn Escapes
This time of year, our idea of a perfect weekend is a cozy cabin getaway. This week, we are sharing our favorite fall escapes – a mix of hotels and luxury Airbnb rentals where coziness meet luxury. After that, we’ve included a list of the best cocktails to sip fireside. Enjoy and stay warm!
Amagansett, New York
The Hamptons might not be the first destination that jumps to mind when you think of a fall escape, but we love the area this time of year. Stores and restaurants are quieter, the foliage is lovely, and it isn’t yet too cold for a nice walk on the beach. Book this听听to enjoy a full kitchen, a sauna, a barbecue, a fire pit, and, of course, a wood-burning fireplace. Cozy up in the spacious library for a night in with a glass of wine and reading or movie night by the fire. If you visit before October ends, stop by the nearby听听(make a reservation first!) to experience of piece of art history.

The luxury hotel offers activities for the whole family,听including swimming (indoor, outdoor, and hot tubs), ice skating, bowling, campfire s’mores, a movie theatre offering a rotating selection, and even an old-fashioned ice cream parlor.

Take a trip about three hours outside London to Derbyshire to discover听听a Victorian hotel on听35 acres of wild gardens. Choose between a听听or an听. We love the wood-paneled treehouses complete with two bedrooms and a wraparound deck (with an outdoor copper tub for warmer months!). Dine on seasonal dishes inside the stunning Garden Room with floor to ceiling windows and foliage throughout.
