Inside Scoop

For a dining experience unlike any other, guests of the hotel and sometimes a few lucky locals can join each other at the hotel for a weekly Saturday evening supper. Meals are home-cooked and the menu changes seasonally. For the summer, dishes will mainly be BBQ or cooked over an open fire, and communal tables will be situated under twinkling lights for guests to enjoy the outdoor scenery. This exceptional dining experience offers guests an increasingly unique opportunity to connect with others outside of their travel group, and even leave the table having made a few new friends.

Venue Features
The scene:

Unfolding across a hillside with sweeping views of Windham Mountain, Eastwind blends natural beauty with communal-minded gathering spaces. Guests can relax in the sauna, enjoy a nightcap at the Salon's cocktail bar, or cozy up by the fire pit while admiring the scenery. The original structure, serving as a bunkhouse for fly fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, dates back to the 1920s, a history that is readily apparent in the renovated property. Thoughtful touches and design elements can be found throughout the property in the hand-picked antique furnishings and artwork as well as the extensive collection of vintage books and board games.

Design:

The boutique hotel's design compliments the natural scenery around the hotel as well as draws inspiration from Scandinavian style minimalism. The color palette is mainly natural hues: beige, gray navy, brown and black. The walls are white, and there are pops of color in rugs, closet wallpaper, custom wall-hangings (amazing yarn installations), and framed mushroom illustrations.

The Bunk House and Hill House feature a Mid-Century electric look with a hint of clean urban design energized by the hotel's backcountry, while the Lushna Cabins embody a Scandinavian notion of camping without sacrificing any comforts. The decor consists of thoughtfully-sourced furniture, encapsulating the sentiment of lagom the Swedish word meaning "just the right amount."

Bunk, Feast, Repeat: A Field Guide to Camp-Inspired Event Venues Across the U.S.
From tartan-lined lodges to glamping tents with martini carts, these aren’t just places to crash, they’re places to convene. Heritage plaid, canvas, wood smoke and a little Champagne sparkle, because camp can be both rugged and refined. If Camp VR were a weekend escape, this would be the map. Picture bunk beds turned boutique, bonfires turned dinner parties, and cabins styled with the kind of quiet luxury that feels half Martha Stewart cottage, half Ralph Lauren catalog. The menu? Wood-fired paella, grown-up s’mores, and a bourbon cider punch bowl that deserves its own merit badge.  These venues aren’t just made for sleeping, they’re also made for gathering. Lakeside lodges that double as wedding backdrops, glamping estates with long tables set in the fields, and cozy cottages ready for birthday feasts or fall reunions. It’s fisherman-core meets fine china, enamel mugs clinking beside crystal stemware. Explore The Camp VR collection on Venue Report: search, save, and message real venues built for bunking up, feasting well, and gathering under the same roof (or sky). Because campfires fade, but the stories? Those last all season. Read the field guide below.

15 East Coast Destinations for a Family-Friendly Getaway this Fall
ICYMI: Autumn on the East Coast equals the perfect time to escape somewhere beautiful with your family. Why? For starters, the weather is perfection—it’s crisp, but not cold, and still oh so cozy. Second, off-season rates are in full effect, which means you won’t need to shell out major bucks. And lastly, many of the hottest summer spots are far less crowded this time of year, so you can actually visit monuments and beaches without being hit in the face with a selfie stick, which is always a plus.  But with all of that being said, finding a location that strikes the perfect balance between adult-friendly and kid-friendly can still be quite an undertaking. Fortunately, below you’ll find a roundup of hotels and trip ideas we’re certain will please all parties this fall, whether it’s taking a scenic road trip through North Carolina or escaping to a quaint cabin just outside of Manhattan.
