Can anyone suggest a QUAINT place for a quick getaway?

St. Michael's, Maryland.
Mackinac (sp?) Island, Michigan, stay at the Grand Hotel.
If you like music and such, the Chautauqua Institute in Chautaqua, New York (southwest part of the state). It's an artists' colony type place, and there are wonderful concerts, exhibits, etc.

Don't: since you seem to love playing up stereotypes so much, here's one for you: growing up it was common knowledge that people from Conn. are stuck-up bitches. You fit the bill perfectly.
Again, I reiterate that you are an ignorant ass and hope you visit NJ again soon. We'll give you a warm welcome!

Another thought: How about Eagle Ridge Inn in Galena, IL. It's a quaint historically preserved town from the 1800s with antique stores and little restaurants. The Eagle Ridge Inn is a vacation community 7 miles east--tennis, golf, horses, lake with boats, either hotel with all amenities or little townhouses to rent. We used to own a home there and spent most 3 day weekends with our kids. September is a nice time of year and it doesn't look like the midwest---it has rolling hills and lots of wildlife. 3 hours west of O'Hare.

Well, we LOVED Cape May. Went for Labor Day weekend and ended up staying a whole week. We've also enjoyed Rockport, MA, Newburyport, MA, Oqunquit, ME, Kennebunkport, ME, Newport, RI, Baltimore, MD, Rehoboth, DE. If you haven't been to NYC, that's a fabulous destination. We are going to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake this September to re-do all our favorite things. Montreal is another terrific destination. Quebec City is the ultimate in "quaint", though.

Burlington Vermont is a great place-- easily reachable by air from the midwest. Two wonderful B&Bs are Willard St Inn and Lang House. Sept. is a perfect time to visit here on the shores of Lake Champlain. You're also close enough for a day trip (90 min) to Montreal. Vermont is a small state so you would be able to see quite a bit of it during your short stay.

I have to agree with Burlington, VT. It has good flight service and you don't have to travel 1-3 hrs. to your final destination. The problem with the other suggestions is that when you arrive you have to drive at least an 1 or 2 to get to it and the woman who posted stated she only had 3 or 4 days to enjoy.

Niagara on the Lake Canada. It is dubbed the prettiest town in Canada. Beautiful old hotels some with high teas, other with spas, wonderful wineries, great culture because the George Bernard Shaw Festival is running at several different theatres. Charming restaurants, lovely scenery all on the banks of Lake Ontario. We go every year for our anniversary.
