You can enjoy a day of hiking, biking, or fishing at High Point State Park. You could stay in a cabin, but they're usually only available through mid-October. You could also visit Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge and walk the Liberty Loop Trail.

But if you're looking to stay overnight at a beautiful bed & breakfast, the Wilbraham Mansion in beautiful Cape May is highly recommended!

"Nearby, the Wilbraham Mansion is a Victorian-era residence carefully transformed into an elegant bed-and-breakfast, complete with vintage furnishings, intricate wallpaper and turn-of-the-century architectural details."
