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.

I took a break trip last year to Arizona. It was perfect. Awesome spas. Good food, Did some shopping. Hiking. Yoga.

Ashby inn, goodstone, salamander,

Boars head in Charlottesville or Salamander in middle burg

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.

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.

L'Aubrrge is wonderful.

Inn at Lost River or Guest House at Lost river, WV

I love the Goodstone Inn and the restaurant is amazing. For whatever reason my DH wasn't a fan.

Agree, the spa is great and the hotel is very relaxing

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.?

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.

Cruise out of baltimore? Bermuda is lovely.
