A Summertime Road trip with Auberge Resorts Collection

 

There's nothing quite like a summer road trip. The freedom of the open road is exhilarating, offering endless possibilities and opportunities for exploration. A sense of adventure sweeps through open windows, tussling through your hair and stimulating every turn. But the best part of these adventures is not the journey between point A and point B, but rather the experiences uncovered and the people you meet along the way. 

Auberge Resorts Collection invites you to explore the magic of the American Northeast this summer with four distinct properties. Discover a country retreat at Mayflower Inn, the natural beauty of Wildflower Farms, historic elegance at The Vanderbilt, or rustic coastal charm at White Barn Inn. Each destination offers a unique character, from the majestic mountains to the peaceful harbors. 

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, Auberge will help create memories to remember for years to come. These four hotels promise to send you home with a story, delivering unforgettable experiences to leave you feeling inspired, refreshed, and ready to tackle what the world has to offer.

So, pack your bags, hit the road, and let the journey begin!
