If this winter weather has you feeling a little stir-crazy,
maybe it’s time for you to take a little winter vacation. Long Island is
beautiful year-round, but it can be nice to get away from the city and leave
the Island for a few days after the busy holidays. Take off of work on a Friday
or Monday (or both) to enjoy an extended weekend at one of these great
destinations that are just a car ride away from Patchogue.
Hudson Valley, NY
For a quick weekend getaway, consider checking out one of
the quaint, historic towns along New York’s Hudson River, many of which are
less than two and a half hours away from Patchogue. Take part in some winter
hiking at Bear Mountain
State Park, or strap on some skis to cross-country ski on tails along the
Hudson. Travel a little further north up the river to explore the town of Cold Spring, and get some
R&R at one of the many bed and breakfasts in the local area.
Sugarbush, VT
If you’re big on winter sports, than you have to check out
the ski and snowboard scene in Vermont. But rather than checking out Killington
or Mt. Snow, Vermont’s more popular mountains, consider visiting Sugarbush Resort, located in the
picturesque town of Warren. Even if you’re not into the slopes, Warren has
plenty of local eats and wintery scenery to explore. The town also has a rich
history, with the Warren Country Store dating back to 1839 with classic
Colonial décor.
Lenox, MA
If winter sports aren’t exactly your thing, head to Lenox,
MA for the perfect spa getaway in the Berkshires. Cranwell Spa and Golf Resort offers the
ultimate spa experience as one of the largest spas in the Northeast. Treat
yourself to a soothing massage, detoxifying body wrap, or a cleansing facial
treatment. Explore the resort’s 320 acres, and dine at any of the three
restaurants located on premises. Should you choose to hit the slopes, Jiminy Peak Mountain is only a 40-minute
drive away.
