4-5 days in the summer, serene, no humidity. Where to go?

Anonymous wrote:Honestly, we had a long summer weekend at Mountain Lake Lodge (outside of Roanoke, VA) that fills these requirements. The main hotel is where they filmed Dirty Dancing.

+1. Or if you want more rustic, Peaks of Otter.

WV has few lakes, but many rivers. Lot of places in high elevation VA or WV could fit this description.

Relative to the DMV, yes, definitely in the summer.
Relative to Arizona, no.

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?
