It's Fall Y'all! // Check out these Unique and Socially Distanced Fall Getaways

Happy first day of fall, y'all! Do you have any trips planned? We have a road trip lined up later this season, going through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Unlike last time, we will leave our little 13ft Scamp camper behind, and just camp using a Truck Tent. Stick around the blog and my Instagram/YouTube channel to follow our journey!

(If you use links in this post, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Full Disclosure) 

Just in case you are not really into camping, but still want to hit the road, see fall foliage and new places, I put together this list of unique socially distanced fall getaways for you! Enjoy!

Pie on the Pillow 

Move over chocolate mint, at the Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast in Salisbury Mills, New York, it’s a slice of pie that greets guests on their pillow for the remainder of this month! The inn, about an hour’s drive from New York City, hopes guests come hungry and ready for sweet dreams, particularly after the incredibly stressful year this has been for everyone. The pies include cherry pie, cream pie, and the crowd favorite – apple pie. They’re served by “chef’s choice” every night – except on weekends if a wedding party has reserved the full B&B. This year, the B&B shared its secret apple pie with guests as a way to send a little comfort home during the peak of the pandemic.
Shh… you may access their recipe, while it’s still online, here. 

Pie on the Pillow is included with every reservation in September.
