Home Away From Home / Accommodations
We're thrilled to embark on this picturesque journey together through the vibrant landscapes of Vermont and New Hampshire during the peak of autumn's beauty. As you prepare for this unforgettable experience, we want to ensure that you have all the necessary information to make your trip as seamless as possible.
One aspect to consider is accommodations. While we've meticulously planned our route to offer the best views and photography opportunities, please note that accommodations are not included in the workshop package.
During the autumn season, particularly in regions renowned for their foliage like Vermont and New Hampshire, hotel prices tend to reflect the high demand. It's not uncommon for rates to range between $300 to $500 per night, especially during peak foliage weeks.
We highly recommend booking your accommodations well in advance to secure the best options at reasonable prices. Additionally, considering alternative lodging options such as bed and breakfasts, inns, or vacation rentals might offer a more personalized experience amidst the stunning backdrop of fall foliage.
If you have any questions or need assistance with accommodation recommendations, feel free to reach out to us. We're here to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, allowing you to focus on capturing the beauty of autumn with your lens.
