golf and nature with something to do at night for a family

Searching for a location for our summer vacation. We%26#39;ve visited Sedona Arizona (spring) and Mont Tremblant, Canada (summer), recently and loved hiking and enjoying nature during the day, but going into ';town'; at night for our 15 year old daughter and 7 year old son to enjoy the touristy shops. Other places we liked are the quiet side of Cape Cod MA (Ocean%26#39;s Edge Resort). We prefer lodging that is a condo/cottage, so we can have some room to spread out.

This year we want to stay closer to home, and are interested in New Hampshire, upstate NY or Maine and are looking for some suggestions.

We expect to pay around $1500 per week for lodging, a little more or less would work as well.

Where can you point us to begin looking?

Hi saintphly,

Of course, being biased, I would recommend Maine. It has it all ie mountains, lakes, ocean, quaint towns and villages, arts, music, plays, tons of outdoor activities, sailing, etc. The list goes on and on.

You%26#39;ll have to decide and post whether you%26#39;d prefer the mountains, the rocky coast, the beach or a quiet lake. Then we can get more specific in recommendations.

Meanwhile, as I often recommend, purchase a copy of Christina Tree and Nancy English%26#39;s %26#39;Maine: An Explorer%26#39;s Guide%26#39;. Peruse the different sections ie mountains, lakes, coastal, etc to see what appeals to you. If you find Maine appeals to you, come back to TA and we%26#39;ll help as much as possible.

Good luck :).
