Looking to Leaf Peep? Plan Your Fall Getaway at One of These 7 Picturesque Spots

From the peaks of the White Mountains to the shores of the Oregon Coast, these retreats showcases fall color across the 50 states.

Sometime between September and October, leaves across the country begin to change color. As we transition from summer to winter, yellow, red, and orange appear for a brief glimpse before the cool-toned onset of the holiday season. The change happens fast—don’t miss it.

This season, let fall foliage map your wanderings from the East Coast to the West. Slip into a cable knit, flip on your favorite rom-com, and settle into a new space. From the dunes of Cape Cod to the Western charm of Wyoming, we’re offering seven all-American luxury destinations.

In the interim between summer and winter, maple leaves twirl around the Northeast’s highest peak before settling at the resplendent Omni Mount Washington Resort. With its early-1900s architecture and the recently opened Presidential Wing, a fall getaway at the hotel is like a journey back through American history—now equipped with a spa, speakeasy, golf course, and zipline. In the early 1900s, New Hampshire native Joseph Stickney brought 250 Italian artisans together to construct it. To see the foliage in full effect across the historic property, make sure to book a scenic gondola ride.

Henry David Thoreau once called Cape Cod’s cliff-lined beaches and glacial ponds “wholly unknown to the fashionable world.” Today, the John F. Kennedy-protected National Seashore still safeguards that pristine, rugged landscape—even as the fashionable world moves in. In Brewster, the boutique Ocean Edge Resort highlights the Victorian seaside autumn with 429 sprawling acres of foliage, whale-watching excursions, cranberry bog tours, and more. After a full day out, recline in a mansion hotel room or luxury villa alongside the golf course. On a day-trip, travel further down the Cape to Provincetown, where artists following in the footsteps of Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, and Walker Evans continue to find inspiration among the windswept dunes.

In Pennsylvania, fall brings crisp mountain air, vibrant foliage, and the perfect excuse to slow down. For those looking to unwind, the Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa offers a retreat among the gentle curves of the Allegheny Mountains. Splash in the world’s first indoor pool or take in the beauty of eight natural mineral springs—hike to them for a scenic and restorative adventure. Tee off on one of the country’s first golf courses, and at the Eternal Spa, draw on the healing traditions inspired by the indigenous practices tied to the springs, rich with iron, magnesium, and other minerals. To see the town shift into the fall season, sign up for one of the numerous historical Bedford tours just a short walk away.

At the Chetola Resort at Blowing Rock, nestled in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, life blows like a breeze across the lake. Across 75 acres, there are opportunities for hiking, guided horse rides through the Blue Ridge countryside, and fly fishing. If scenic views off the deck are sufficiently outdoorsy, guests can also enjoy a trip to the spa or Timberlake’s restaurant and Pub, before reclining in a Bob Timberlake-designed lodge room or spacious, standalone condo.

At Montage Deer Valley, the quiet beauty of autumn unfolds just before the first skiers arrive. Known as the “Golden Season,” this fleeting time at 8,300 feet offers sweeping views of reds, oranges, and yellows cascading down the mountainside. Guests are invited to savor the moment with guided hikes or mountain bike rides or indulge in a chef-prepared picnic amid the crisp alpine air. On property, evenings come alive with archery, s’mores by the fire, family movie nights, and more. Extend your escape with our Autumn Away offer, featuring a complimentary fourth night to linger longer and embrace Park City’s most colorful season.

The Wort Hotel, Wyoming

For locals, Friday night in Jackson Hole means heading to the Wort Hotel’s Silver Dollar Bar. Constructed in 1950 with 2,032 uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollars, the bar still deals in Americana: cowboy hats, silver belt buckles, and regional Western style set the scene, while bluegrass acts such as One Ton Pig provide the sound. Opened in 1941 at the site of a former livery stable, the Wort Hotel reflects Jackson’s pioneer history. On the horizon, the Grand Tetons loom with expansive views of the foliage, and the migrating wildlife. At night, rest in one of 55 boutique hotel rooms furnished with custom pieces and Western artwork.

Inn at Cannon Beach, Oregon

At the farthest corner of Oregon’s coast is Cannon Beach, where the Haystack Rock juts 235 feet out of the water—erupting through the rolling waves. The Inn at Cannon Beach is a woodland property just a short walk inland from the beach and its far reaching vistas. As the weather cools, relax on the sand, looking out over the water with hot cocoa and s’mores in hand. Trace the expedition of Lewis and Clark and traverse the historic coastline. Back at the Inn, sip an Oregon Pinot Noir on your balcony or beside your in-room fireplace, already planning next year’s visit and new memories waiting to be made.
