More pics....(continued)
I love doing these, AND Eastern BBS is often too slow, so I'm hoping to help it along.
GREAT topic, btw, and there are so many awesome places in the EAST!!!!
and yes, it's a big fireplace. One of these at each end of "The Great Hall"
Finally a pic of the mountains..
Author F. Scott Fitzgerald's favorite room.....he would watch the young ladies as they arrived in their carriages
or automobiles below, take the interesting ones a copy of one of his books, and go from there....
How we used it instead..

We go out there often. What you see of the Angel Oak is just half of the tree limbs! One side was badly damaged by a storm years ago and trimmed. Some have also been taken down over the years due to disease. Took these last week:

OK, here are TWO amazing back-to-back "EASTERN" destinations we visited this past October in 2 different states.
All I can say for each is BRILLIANT!
Where were we?
1. First 4 nights
Might as well be a little town out of a Hallmark movie
...........................................................................................................................................................
2. Second 4 nights
This next photo below is NOT enhanced in any way. This amazing sunlight phenomenon over the mountains
lasted only 4 minutes each evening, and at east 100 people gathered on the Veranda to watch it, and mouths WERE open.
It started out a pumpkin Orange, and changed to Pink-Purple.....one of the prettiest things we've ever witnessed.

YES, it is the Woodstock Inn, and YES to WinniWoman
on the second one too (Mt Washington Resort Hotel).We fell in love with the Woodstock Inn...small but not too small......and the town was perfect.
Woodstock VT is absolutely THE quintessential New England town, especially in the Fall. As I mentioned in the initial post,
it's right out of a Hallmark movie....simply wonderful.
Really a beautiful, cozy, relaxing place, one of our most memorable stays anywhere, and we certainly plan on going back
if the pandemic goes away. My wife cannot stop talking about how much she loved it.
And an extra bonus too----we had bookend short stays in our beloved Boston, where we rented our car for the glorious drives
to Vermont & New Hampshire. We did do the Kancamagus Scenic Byway on the way to NH, and it was perfect in all its glory!

And Mt. Washington Resort was also wonderful.... it was a huge grand hotel, a much different experience.
I had been there when a teenager with my family, and remembered it well....it was lovely too, such a gorgeous setting.
We walked daily down the stream behind the hotel, and around the perimeter of the golf course.....so wonderful.
I highly recommend October for a visit to either place. The foliage was peaking at both spots....I've never seen such brilliant colors
and such amazing temperatures for being outdoors.
There's nothing like Vermont and New Hampshire in the Fall!!!

Yes, very ironic, eh......I was shocked to learn that recently too. After visiting Woodstock, I looked up the Hallmark movies' filming sites
out of curiosity.
Regardless, I'll be revisiting Woodstock VT and not Canada, no offense to my Maple Leaf friends
(we've only had the pleasure of visiting Victoria, a beautiful place!). Thanks much for the anecdotal info.

Here is a print of old Woodstock in the winter. It's a typical New England town and I k ow winters can be harsh but..its magical and in the past nice sleigh rides. It's one of my faves too. Quechee area too. Sounds like you had s super stay..I've only been to lunch there. We had stayed in a cute B and B. Also My Washington has gorgeous views. We always enjoyed going around Bretton Woods for cross country skiing. Thank you for sharing such pretty photos. I'm becoming homesick!
My Woodstock print made it to Portugal!!!

I can tell!
Being from Georgia, we never visited NE together (me only as teen) so it was always on our bucket list...we finally got to experience
our Fall NE trip across VT & NH. It couldn't have been better, and we loved both places.
We have been to Boston 6 times out of the last 8 years, and we adore it...... either Oct for foliage or Dec before Christmas, both amazing.
Took a few out-trips several times to countryside of Mass and to several towns, like Lexington & Concord, also in October....awesome!
And another great day trip to the Maine coast, particularly Ogunquit. It's all spectacular.
ADDENDUM, per your latest post after this one:
We also did a bus tour out of Boston to Newport RI....a wonderful day.
Saw the mansions and walked around Newport---so beautiful. The accompanying history lesson was great.
I want to make a special trip back to Newport, and a few other towns in RI, like Providence.
If you make it back South, besides Savannah, also include Charleston...it's an amazing city, larger than Savannah (ie, historic districts),
and full of history and charm, far more than you might know....and far more beautiful, imho, so much to see and do, and to enjoy too.
Because of that, we bought 2 timeshare weeks at Church Street Inn in Charleston's historic district...we now split them and go 4 times a year.

What's nice is the distances are not too great to see alot. You've covered some beautiful spots. I am originally from western Ma and spent lots of time in Vt and NH. RI coast and Mass Cape are worthy of a visit too. Georgia has Savannah which we always enjoyed as well as all those Vidalia onions ...yumm.
