rent a cabin on a lake for a week!
When you decide about where you want to go, write to the cities' Chamber of Commerce and you will receive brochures that are current from all sorts of places. Write to as many places as you want and you will receive big manilla folders full of choices.

We pick a town to go and see and my hubby finds a b & b to stay in. We've stayed in a lighthouse, old school house, jail. We've been on 3 criuses-no cooking or cleaning--a real vacation, since I cook all the time at home.

we used to tent (camping as a family was our only affordable vacation), after the kids grew up, and we aged, we bought a pop up. We've graduated to a travel trailer set up in a seasonal park on the St Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands, NY. We laugh and say we're just fancier trailer trash now!!
our home away from home... when we retire (soon) we'll be here 6 months a year

That looks like such a comfortable little place. How great, I could see myself in someplace like that fulltime.
I had to laugh at the trailer trash comment because when we had our travel trailer, we would refer to ourselves as trailer trash. We also used to comment that while pulling the trailer up a hill, we were now the slowpokes we used to complain about holding up traffic.
