I'm fairly wide open and want some ideas to escape the swamp DC weather in July or August.
Musts: - low/no humidity, ideally not hotter than 75-80 degrees in daytime - In the US or Canada - I want a view of something serene. Lake, mountain, nature. - Don't want to spend more than $250/night for 5 nights - Don't mind renting a car and driving myself around - Don't care if it's an airbnb or hotel, but I'm also capable of taking care of myself (don't need amenities, etc) - Needs to be approachable from an airport (I'll fly out of National or Dulles) Where should I go? |

Park City, UT - very dry there. Or any western ski resort that isn’t also a big summer destination (so avoid Jackson Hole, lake Louise, maybe Sun valley). There are deals in summer and they are lower key.

| Just go out to Davis, WV. Elevation is enough to be a lot cooler. Nice area to go for a few days. |

Deep creek MD.
But 250/night is going to be tough and will preclude most of the places people have already posted. |

| I had good luck the last two years in Chicago and upstate New York- I think Chicago can be hot and humid but it was cool and beautiful when we were there |

| If you don't mind going to a remote part of Maine, you could be there in half a day from DCA or IAD. Fly to Portland or Bangor, rent a car, and if you stay away from most of the coast you could get something very nice for that price. |
