Ur not going to find a sandal in the mountains, I live in a small town in the Adirondacks, our town is called the gateway to the Adirondacks and let me tell you lol theres not to much around here. Your best bet would be going to Lake George, NY, you surrounded by mountain and such but its also has so cool attractions. ANDDDd REALLY GOOD FISHING!

 

+1

Lake George area is beautiful. As is the Lake Placid area. Plenty of tiny cozy places to stay tucked in the mountains.

 

Gatlinburg, TN is a great place to visit. There are lots of timeshare type places that have suites for the low low for rental

 

hit up a ski resort in colorado. we rented a condo there for a week years ago and had a blast.

we stayed at copper mountain, but there are plenty others.

 

I vote Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

 

I loved Jackson Hole Wyoming! It was a guys trip though so I'm not sure on the Sandals type amenities the OP is interested in. We went out for snowboarding but enjoyed the town of Jackson as well as the snowmobile tour through the Tetons.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Pocono Mountains. I've never been but I'd like to.

I'm about an hour and a half from the Poconos and I have no idea why people travel so far for such small mountains..... People from Japan come here to ski the Pocono mountains. Maybe it's just a stop on the US tour but I'd definitely stay west!

 

I've heard a lot of good things about the Pocono Mountains. I've never been but I'd like to.

 

check out stonecreekcabins.com. they have two cabins and they are back in the woods on 23 acres. that is where i went for my honeymoon. cool place.

 

Check out Estes Park Colorado. Beutiful area with stunning mountains. It is one of the gateways into Rocky Mountain National Park.

 

how bout staying is a treehouse??

Eureka Springs Treehouses Resort Amenities: Wi-fi,Fireplaces,Jacuzzi,Free movie selection,DVD Player

eureka springs arkansas.

 

How about taking her "to the moon!!!!"

 

We camp in Lk George a LOT every single summer (LG RV park, King Philips etc) but I don't think you have to fly completely across the country to find a nice mountain resort with good fishing etc....lol.

 

Not in the US but Banff up in Canada is Spectacular! San Juans up in Washington are nice too.

 

Cool thanks for all the suggestions, has anyone taken a cruse?

 

I went on a cruise with the family this past summer. We went on a Carnival cruise to Jamica, Grand Cayman, and Cozemel. It was a 7 day cruise. It was a lot of fun, there is plenty of good food available to you 24hrs a day. There is also a formal dinner every night with 4 star dining. There is also a casino, activities like movies on the big screen on the main outdoor deck, music etc. The only drawback is you only get like 8-12 hrs at each destination. You get a chance to plan an excursion a night or two before each place. For example we booked a swim with the stingrays in the Cayman islands. If you dont want to pay for a planned excursion you can just get off the ship at each place and shop ot sightsee for a few hours. The family enjoyed the cruise as did I. Oh yeah your gonna be drunk like 70% of the time lol.

 

I've been on 3 cruises on royal carribean and carnival. I'll loved both cruise lines. We planned most of our excursions about a month before the cruise because alot of them fill up fast. Ther is always something to do on the ships. And if the know its your honeymoon they always treat you special like champgne or wine waiting for you in your the captain comes to your table and congratulates you. They are alot of fun. I will be going on another next gestalt I can't wait!

 

I agree. I have been on multiple cruises myself including the one Southside was on. Its a blast and regardless of weather you go with friends or for a honeymoon you always meet new people and have a great time.

Comparing any beach in America to the beaches in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel is not even possible. The beaches in Mexico and the Bahamas are absolutely beautiful IMO.

 

I would cast a vote for Pigeon Forge, TN. We (family of 19) go there every October. Cabins, attractions, mountains, ghost mountain, mel's diner, outdoor hot tubs.

Vail, Colorado has lots of upscale honeymoon resorts and outdoor adventures are close by (as in walking distance). 4x4 and ATV opportunities are also there.

 

Cool thanks for all the input

 

Summer? Outdoors? I'd go to Alaska...

 

Yeah but don't take a cruise, you miss too much of the real Alaska. Ren a motor home in Anchorage or take the train up to Denali.

 

Hey partner its funny I read this I got back from my honeymoon April 22. We went to jamiaca and let me tell you it was the nicest place I have ever been, I've been to key west Florida and every beach north of there to Virgina. I live in western NC and have been to gatlinburg Tn and pigeon forge Tn 20 times or more. I live in the mountains so I know I'm used to it but it's not that impressive for me. We paid $3,100 for the all inclusive deal to a place in montego bay Jamaica. The resort was a sandals like place called the Grand Palladium/Lady Hamilton resort. For that price we got all airfare paid and a 5 days 6 nights stay with all the food/alcohol you could eat or drink and live intertainment everywhere. I erge you to look this place up and I highly recommend it, we got treated like gods the whole time we were there.
