Mini Moon in Upstate New York

There are lots of cute B&B's in the Finger Lakes region! You don't have to go far to find awesome wineries or beautiful hikes if you stay there.

Agree with KR. Beautiful area with lots to do

The Hudson Valley is a beautiful area! There is so many things and hidden gems. But the Mohonk Mountain House might be a good idea! https://www.mohonk.com/

I grew up not far from there and moved to Pennsylvania they are both beautiful places to be!

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm from the Hudson Valley! I don't have any suggestions though, you wouldn't want to vacation in my town. The only thing it's got going for itself is the winery; but like @KR said, you'll definitely find great wineries and hikes up there!

Another idea would be to maybe go near the Canada/US border if that's something you guys would be into?

I've lived in the Fingerlakes Region my whole life! We are not called "Wine Country" out here for nothing! There are tons of wineries out here, so book a tour if you're into that! Trails, local wilderness parks, amusement parks (if you're going in the summer of course)...
Even off we're technically Western NY, it's still pretty nice, especially in the fall!

Check out Lake George, New York. The lake is beautiful and there is plenty to do in town for a few days. We live about an hour away and FH and I love taking day trips up to visit.

I highly recommend Skaneateles!

I am getting married in Lake George. It’s beautiful there. Also check out Saratoga!

I second Saratoga! Lots of cute B&B's!!!! That's our home town and we are headed back there to get married!

We're getting married in Saratoga. There is a lot to do there and Lake George is under an hour away. Plus late in July you might be there during track season which is always a fun day out!

The "Capital Region" in New York has a lot to offer for things to do.

Our friends had their mini-moon there and absolutely loved it! Very scenic and romantic with lots to do.

I also vote the Finger Lakes! It's gorgeous in that area! I don't know anything about the wineries but there are some awesome breweries in that area if you are into craft beer. There is plenty to do in that area, and its just so pretty.

Yes - LOVE the finger lakes, good wine, good food and such lovely airbnb's, too!

Finger lakes region - Ithaca or skaneateles. Loks of waterfalls, hiking, and wineries. The finger lakes are gorgeous in July. Or lake placid!

FH and I passed through Portgageville, NY on a road trip over the summer. We only spent one night there but I wish we had planned for more time. It was beautiful and I've heard great things about the nearby Letchworth State Park. The downtown area looked really cool too.

Skaneateles, NY

Oops sent before I updated! Little lake town with cute shopping, nice winery, hiking, waterfalls, etc nearby. Great spa if you want a spa day at Mirbeau.

I’m from upstate Ny. I don’t recommend beacon. The adirondacks are incredible in the summer. Saratoga is fun there’s the race track (if you’re into gambling) they have a cute downtown and a casino, plus a huge lake. Lake George is also really nice but REALLY BUSY in the summer. If you’re into hiking there’s tons of mountains with beautiful views. North of lake George in Warrensburg is a white water rafting. There’s also Ausable Chasm, not near lake George at all. But it’s sooo much fun.

I've heard a lot of great things about the Finger Lakes. If you are into wineries, I have heard they have some great ones there.

Thank you all for your recommendations!! We are going start looking into the Finger Lakes region as well as Lake George and Lake Placid. We are hoping to check out some wineries and do some hiking, so these places sound great!
