Beaches. Pools. Lakes. Ice cream. Lobster rolls and fried seafood. That’s the norm in the Northeast during the summer. But, what about a Northeast vacation during COVID?
It’s a time of year when people are normally traveling all over the place. You might be wondering what to do with the rest of your summer. And what about the fall? Or the rest of 2020? 2021?
Where can you vacation during COVID?
As COVID numbers continue to trend in the wrong direction for the United States, we continue to be more limited in where we can travel. This is a dynamic situation, and things are changing daily. But overall, here’s the trend if you are thinking about a vacation during COVID. As a US citizen, if you are going to travel near term, domestic is your safest bet.
If you are thinking about taking a vacation during COVID, I need to tell you something. There are so many amazing properties spread across the US that were designed for social distancing. And that was wayyy before it was the travel industry’s hottest trend! If you don’t believe me, read on.
This article is going to dive in to the Northeast region of the United States. I will share 20 of my favorite properties in the top right corner of the country for your Northeast vacation during COVID.
Top 20 Northeast properties for your post-quarantine vacation
Whether you live in the Northeast, driving distance from the Northeast, or you’re willing to fly to the Northeast, there’s a breathtaking option for you.
They are all in remote locations, have tons of outdoor space, and offer secluded accommodation options. For example, cottages, cabins, villas, bungalows, private homes, or full buyout.
We’ve chosen options at different price points and rounded things out geographically within the Northeast. Everyone has different needs and priorities, so they are not listed in ranking order.
