Mountain, forest, or beach views? Cabin campers can take their pick in the Nutmeg State.
Pint-sized Connecticut packs a punch when it comes to picturesque New England landscapes, and with both NYC and Boston within a few hour’s drive, what better place for a weekend getaway? Cabin rentals mean you can swing by for a summer beach vacation, a tranquil retreat in the woodlands of the Litchfield Hills, or a hiking adventure along the New England National Scenic Trail or the Appalachian Trail without having to pack a tent or rent an RV. Perhaps rent a cozy log cabin in the woods, a luxury lakeside cottage with a hot tub, or a romantic treehouse. Eight Connecticut state parks have rustic 2-bedroom cabins available to rent from May through September-October, so you could also enjoy trout fishing at Housatonic Meadows State Park, admire the fall foliage in Black Rock State Park, or cool off at the sandy beaches of Hammonasset Beach or Rocky Neck State Park.
