Romantic Getaways in New England

New England consists of 6 states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The city hub of New England is Boston, with other major cities like New York City not too far away. Given its proximity to the East Coast's major metropolitan areas, it's genuinely no wonder romantic getaways in New England are so popular. 

But proximity isn't the only reason to plan romantic getaways in New England. Up and down the East Coast, you'll find plenty of American history, coastal charm, scenic beauty, and sensational food, not to mention an abundance of Instagram-worthy B&Bs to call home for a few days. Romantic getaways in New England are special, and we think this winter is a great time to get out and explore this uniquely beautiful part of the country. 

Escape to Maine

In Maine, you'll find incredible Bed and Breakfasts for a romantic getaway, most of which are on the coast, with a couple being a bit more inland near Portland. From lush natural parks and perfectly-preserved lighthouses to dramatic coastal views and relatively mild coastal weather, there is much to love about romantic getaways spent in Maine this winter. 

Plan a Trip to Vermont

Vermont is, perhaps, the most quintessential state for romantic getaways in New England, filled with a variety of charming B&Bs, romantic covered bridges, and stunning mountains and valleys to explore in every season.
