The Poconos has those Honeymoon places I think its Pocono Palace or Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. Or you can go to the opposite end to Montauk or Block Island. You can try the Norwich Spa in Connecticut. Its beautiful and its 20 minutes from Foxwood.

Hi! Well,Im not sure what you mean by 'driving distance'..this is alittle bit of a road trip, but if you want the most romantic B and B around, go to Rabbit Hill Inn in Vermont. We make the drive quite a bit ( and we live wayyy out east on LI by the Hamptons), and it is well worth the drive...trust me. This is mine and my Fh most 'special' place. We travel a LOT, and we have probably been to over 50 B and Bs, and no place compares to this place. The rooms are gorgeous(with fireplaces and jacuzzis), the staff is wonderful, and best of all, they have their own little restaruant/bar in the B and B..so you dont even have to leave for dinner...and you wont want to! The food is the most incredible food you have ever tasted...there is usually a harp player playing and they have a great fireplace. Very VERY romantic. As i said, i mentioned this place to my best friend, and this is th eonly place she will go to now. Check it out..I think it is rabbithillinn.com. They do book up quick, because there are not a lot of rooms, but good luck! Let me know how you make out!

I agree with Vermont of maybe even Maine. They have gorgeous B&B's and in Maine you can be right on the water.
Even some areas in upstate NY (I went to college in Ithaca) have lake houses you can rent. In the Ithaca area (Finger Lakes region) there are a bunch of wineries and cute little restaurants. It is beautiful up there in the summer.
Good luck!

We're thinking of going away for a weekend this spring to this place called the Locust Inn up near Lake George. It looks absolutely beautiful, and their prices are relatively reasonable (they're giving us a discount because it's off season, but if you book enough in advance I saw some decent prices for them on hotels.com as well)

What about the vineyards or Montauk? It can be very romantic!

Paradise Stream in the Poconos. It is one of the Ceasars resorts. We stayed at Pocono Palace once & really didn't like it at all! We always stay at Paradise Stream but it got flooded & closed for renovations so we got moved. We always have a great time at the Stream. It is smaller, more intimate & cozier. We complained about the Palace & got 2 Free nights for our next stay. We are going to the Stream in August!

FH and I are going to Newport, RI (~4 hours drive, less if you take the ferry). They have these besutiful cottages up there - really look like mansions from the Vanderbuilt era. We're staying there for 2 nights, 3 days.
