We are all about an international getaway, but we’d be remiss to forget about our own backyard! There are so many incredible spots to travel to in the US, whether it is East Coast, West Coast, North, South. In the last few years, we’ve seen the resurgence of some great American gems and especially our appreciation of them. The spirit continues as we explore the great United States! Here are some of our favorite United States travel spots for a summer vacation.

You’ll never be bored as you spend your days outside with fly fishing, mountain biking, white-water rafting, horseback riding, golf and more.
Alison Inn and Spa
Two words: wine country. Alison Inn and Spa is located in Willamette Valley, Oregon wine country. Known for its Pinot Noir’s, you’ll spend your days dining and wine tasting. It’s a perfect spot for those desiring a quiet wine country retreat, escaping the Napa crowds. Pro tip: combine this with the beaches of Oregon for a unique week long vacation!

EAST COAST
Cliff House, Maine
Set on the rock coast of Southern Maine, Cliff House offers panoramic ocean views from every bit of the resort. Cliff House recently underwent a complete renovation in recent years, so you can count on a modern, refreshed look. With ample activities, including the nearby Ogunquit beach, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable summer vacation. Pro tip: Cliff House makes for an amazing baby-moon or mini-moon destination
Ocean House, Rhode Island
A true New England escape with timeless elegance. Ocean House is a boutique resort in Rhode Island with 49 newly remodeled guestrooms and 18 suites. Our highlight? The stately marble bathrooms. If you want to venture off of the resort, you can visit the nearby summer estates of the rich and famous.
Inn at Perry Cabin – St. Michaels, Maryland
A charming manor house resort and spa, Inn at Perry Cabin resembles a colonial mansion and makes for the perfect rural retreat. We personally love the proximity to DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Relaxation is the name of the game here. Lounge in the spa, float in the infinity pool, take a sailing trip on the water, or savor seafood in the restaurant – it’s some of the best food you’ll taste!
Chatham Bars Inn, Massachusetts
A classic New England resort that maintains its old school history. Once upon a time, affluent guests in New England spent their time here playing in the ocean, enjoying afternoon tea, taking in the ocean vistas and dining like kings and queens. The same traditions ring true today at Chatham Bars Inn – lovingly restored to its original grandeur, but completely updated with the latest amenities.
White Elephant Nantucket
A timeless landmark on the island of Nantucket. Full of charm, chic guest rooms, natural light and harbor views, this is often seen as the place to be in Nantucket. You’ll want to make this longer than a weekend getaway to give ample time for biking, strolling and exploring.
THE SOUTH
Miraval Austin, Texas
We all need a wellness getaway to refresh and reset. Miraval serves as a spa resort, health retreat or simply luxury hotel. Whatever you need it to be for you! The rates are all-inclusive of all meals and drinks, so you have nothing to worry about outside of the upfront cost. Plus, hundreds of health and fitness classes are at your fingertips.
Sanctuary at Kiawah, South Carolina
A southern gem located in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, the Sanctuary is a special place for all travelers, families and couples alike. Here, you’re 30 minutes from downtown Charleston, where you can pop over for a dinner out or shopping spree. Our favorite thing at Kiawah? The Ryder Cup Bar and Restaurant, which overlooks sweeping views of the Ocean Course and Atlantic ocean.
Eau Palm Beach
Eau Palm Beach is characterized by Jonathan Adler designed guest rooms, pops of yellow, crisp white accents and bright ocean blues. Be sure to stroll Worth Ave, full of high end shops and colorful storefronts.
Montage Palmetto Bluff
Not to be biased, but this is our personal favorite southern, low country retreat. Nesteld along the May River between Hilton Head and Savannah, the resort encompasses everything we love about the south. Lounge by the pool, take a boat on the water, walk among the many trails, or take your time dining slow at a restaurant. Trust us in that this is a vacation you’ll want to savor.
Little Palm Island
After a massive renovation, Little Palm Island is back and better than ever! A quick boat ride from Little Torch Key, you don’t have to go far for this Florida gem. Little Palm is set on a private island with crushed seashell paths, tropical foliage, exotic wildlife and pristine ocean views.
