| The Guest House at Lost River in WV doesn't allow kids under 12 except for ~2 family weekends per year. Beautiful views, pool, restaurant. |
| Cruise out of baltimore? Bermuda is lovely. |
| How about a hotel on the beach? September should be quiet with good weather. Get a room facing the ocean with a balcony. Bring books and sit and read in the salt air. No need to step foot on the sand unless you wish. But, walks on the beach can be nice. |

Honestly OP, DH and I scoped tons of B&Bs that looked quaint near Shenandoah Ntl Park and all the ones we saw were stinky or dirty.
Personally, I have always wanted to go to L'Auberge Provencale or however you pronounce it. Also, maybe somebody could recommend a place they stayed in Harpers Ferry or Berkley Springs. |
Tell me more about Lost River - I'm not OP but I have been net surfing about it. Does it have any kind of mainstreet with quaint places to stumble in, are there nice trails, etc.? |
Agree, the spa is great and the hotel is very relaxing |
|
I love the Goodstone Inn and the restaurant is amazing. For whatever reason my DH wasn't a fan. |

L'Aubrrge is wonderful. |

Charlottesville, VA
We stayed at 200 South Street Inn. There are even rocking chairs on the front porch. Get a room with a jacuzzi tub. They do simple breakfast there and have fresh baked cookies all day. For lunch and dinner, downtown Charlottesville is 1-2 blocks away and has a ton of restaurants. If you feel up to it, take a tour of one of the many wineries in the area. http://www.southstreetinn.com/mb/ |
| Boars head in Charlottesville or Salamander in middle burg |
| Would you consider a cruise? There are some 5 day out of Baltimore. No cleaning, cooking or interaction (unless you wanted it) |
| Ashby inn, goodstone, salamander, |
| I took a break trip last year to Arizona. It was perfect. Awesome spas. Good food, Did some shopping. Hiking. Yoga. |
Ugh a cruise seems like the opposite of what she wants. Crowded and crammed with CHILDREN. I like the Salamander or Greenbriar suggestions. Somewhere with some luxury (more than a B&B) and beautiful grounds. A spa might be a little bonus, if you are into that type of thing. |
