The Historic Colonial Inn: Rich in History, Charm and Hospitality

By Paula Schmitt

If you ever find yourself in New England’s charming town of Concord, MA, I highly recommend a stop at the historic Colonial Inn located on the town common, or better known as Monument Square. Here you will find gracious, warm and welcoming hospitality. The inn has been in service for nearly three centuries with the […]

The Hershey Lodge: Your Sweet Spot in Hershey, PA

By Shannon Entin

hershey-lobby

Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Penn., goes all-in with its chocolate theme. As it should be in “The Sweetest Place on Earth.” If the bedside chocolate kisses and cocoa-infused shampoo and conditioner don’t delight you, surely the specialty desserts and chocolate martinis will. The lobby welcomed us with its cozy wood and stone décor. The smell […]

Wilderness at the Smokies

By Karon Warren

Resort Exterior - Wilderness at the Smokies

After seeing the Wilderness at the Smokies advertised for a couple of years, my family finally had the opportunity to visit this popular destination. Located in Sevierville, Tenn., this property is a bit off the beaten track, meaning it’s not in the heart of the “tourist” scene. That actually is in its favor, because it […]

A Bonding Mother-Daughter Getaway in Portland, Maine

By Holly Rosen Fink

My daughter and I recently spent one night at The Danforth, a small inn in the heart of Portland, Maine, with a lot of history dating back to 1812. From a prohibition hideout to episcopal housing, from boarding school to bank ruins, from Russian fortune to hard luck tales, The Danforth has a rich Maine history. […]

By Karon Warren

When my family decided to check out the NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway, we started searching for hotel accommodations in Charlotte, N.C., which is approximately 25 minutes from the racetrack.

Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina

By Karon Warren

Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina room

When Hyatt announced it was building a new hotel alongside Villa Christina in Atlanta, I thought it was a good fit given the number of weddings the restaurant hosts each year. What I didn’t realize is what a great hotel it would be for any occasion – or none at all. With a location convenient to […]
