This Summer
To say these times are uncertain is an understatement. And we know that being at home (especially those navigating the new world of homeschooling) has everyone wondering what is in store for this summer. Although there is no way to know for certain, we at Luxe Traveler Club are optimistic that domestic travel will be possible this summer. It may look different, with traveling by car instead of a plane, and favoring more remote locations instead of crowded cities, but, with flexible deposit and cancellation policies, now is the time to start booking summer travel. Even if we have to book and cancel, it is better to have something to look forward to just in case.
Check out some of our perfect destinations that offer more space and privacy to safely nest with your family.
We think a private beach cottage sounds pretty ideal right now! Sunset Key Cottages is located just 500 yards off Key West and is often referred to as an “Island off an Island.” The 27 lush, tropical acres include private two, three, and four-bedroom cottages. Every detail of the cottages captures the casual Key West lifestyle with tranquility and charm from the pastel-colored wood finishes to the Victorian-style tin roofs. The zero-entry pool area with corner sanctuaries of hot tubs, fountains, and bougainvillea-covered trellises provides space for outdoor living.

Let the fine sunlight (and endless lobster) of the Southern Coast of Maine beckon you as you nestle into your own cottage, surrounded by 60-acres of birch groves and balsam fir at Hidden Pond. The 36 bungalows and two-bedroom cottages are an easy drive from historic Kennebunkport. The secret to Hidden Pond lies in its oneness with nature. This eco-chic resort invites guests to take guided hikes and leisurely bike rides along wooded trails, plant seeds with the gardener, or capture the peaceful surroundings on canvas in a painting class with the artist-in-residence. Book with Luxe Traveler Club and enjoy a daily breakfast, $100 resort credit, and priority upgrade (based on availability).
At the crossroads of incomparable luxury and unspoiled wilderness lies The Resort at Paws Up. This authentic, working Montana ranch is situated in some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. The Resort's luxury homes are enticingly private and impeccably appointed in a tapestry of rustic elegance. Indulge in an expansive Wilderness Estate, perfect for families or groups. Saddle up for a definitive equestrian experience, take your best shot at the sporting clays course, fly-fishing with an expert guide, or kick up some dust on an ATV. Book with Luxe Traveler Club and enjoy a daily breakfast, $300 activity credit, round-trip airport transfer, and priority upgrade (based on availability).
Cape Cod is always a summer favorite. Opened in 1914, Chatham Bars Inn overlooks a private, quarter-mile beach and has a fleet of boats for sportfishing, sailing, and day trips to Nantucket Island. An award-winning spa and four dining options, a great kid’s club, as well as an eight-acre farm that supplies the hotel’s fresh produce, make this resort one to which generations of families have returned. Many families enjoy selecting an entire cottage to meet their needs or connecting rooms, which provide convenience and privacy.

The ultimate escape awaits you in the Great Smokey Mountains. Situated on a pastoral 4,200-acre estate, Blackberry Farm beckons discerning guests who aspire to escape modern-day frenzy and slip into a Blackberry state of mind.

Known for its incredibly delicious farm-to-table cuisine, food and drink are a key part of the Blackberry Farm experience.
