Famed for it’s dreamy scenery, picturesque vineyards, and sustainable-food champions, the Hudson Valley serves as an idyllic escape from the bustle of New York City. Now that it’s officially fall, adventurous city dwellers who are craving some peace and quiet can enjoy seasonal cuisine and the best of fall’s foliage in the Hudson Valley. Here, our guide to where to stay, eat, and drink when you want to sneak away from the city.

Where to Stay

Audrey’s Farmhouse

Return to your roots at this whimsical B&B that comes complete with chic interiors, spacious suites, a farm-to-table breakfast menu, and superior pet friendly policy. Located just two hours north of NYC, this historic farmhouse (built in 1740) is the perfect place to get close to nature again, cozy up by the fire, and explore the Shawangunk Ridge.

$250/night

The Hudson Milliner

If you want to be closer to town, consider this boutique inn that’s brimming with vintage charm and cool industrial vibes. Set in the heart of the Valley, The Hudson Milliner is owned by two artists from Brooklyn who left the city to transform a lifeless office building into an artful place to stay up north. The hotel’s four homey guestrooms are not only full of character, but they also beat a weekend cramped in a teeny NYC apartment.

Approx. $300/night

Hasbrouck House

While guests can opt to spend their days outside exploring the grounds at this newly reopened inn in Stone Ridge, NY, you might also be tempted to spend the entire weekend in bed. Each of Hasbrouck House’s breathtaking suites boast a soothing color palette, Frette linens, Kiehl’s bathroom amenities, and an in-room Nespresso machine, so you can relax indoors with ease.

Room prices vary.
