Omg, just go to the Bahamas already...
London? Paris? Fiji?
Go someplace real, not Nova!

Chincoteague

Cute town, nice B&Bs, go to the beach.

Woodloch

St. Michaels is nice. Also, Harper's Ferry.

Lots of nice options here, OP:

Omni Bedford Springs

Indoor warm spring fed pool plus a wonderful spa

St. Michaels?

Eastern Shore, which will be lovely in Sept.

Sheperdstown, WV

For no cooking or cleaning and variety of food options, get a city hotel room. Get a room that will be quieter (not by elevator or getting lots of traffic noise) and walk to nearby restaurants or get delivery or room service.

OP here. I would rather not have to cook honestly, or clean after myself…. that is why I would prefer some quaint B&B over AirBnb.

Cabin in the Shenandoah? You don't have to hike, but it will get you away from the hustle and bustle of DC, and probably won't have a cell signal (or a very weak one).

Check out Air BNB and just pick somewhere beautiful. It doesn't sound like you'll be doing many activities. I recommend booking at least one massage as well.

suggestions of where to go?

I am not a country person and usually love urban settings; but right now what I NEED is to go to some QUIET place, maybe a cute bed&breakfast, in a quiet place (no children allowed), with a nice porch and rocking chairs where I can see the stairs, hear nothing and read books.

It doesn't need to have cable or wi-fi.

Not obscenely expensive but it doesn't need to bee cheap either.

A driving distance from NoVA is preferred.

I am NOT interested in hiking or water sports or anything like that. I just want to be alone and quiet for a few days.

I will be going in Sept.

Thanks!
