Fall can be a great time to
travel, especially if you have preschoolers not tied to an academic schedule. With rolling out
shoulder-season deals and bountiful autumn activities, you have the
makings of a memorable family getaway. Few places deliver fall fun like Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with its hay rides through apple-packed orchards and pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and plenty of places for hands-on learning about the area's heritage.
In the heart of it all is Willow Valley Resort, which has been welcoming visitors to Amish Country for more
than 40 years. The resort boasts an indoor water playground, two restaurants, and even its own farm and petting zoo. From October 12 to November 19, when you stay for one night, Sunday
through Thursday, you get the second night free. The offer is good for any room category,
from a standard guest room (nightly rates start at $99) to a two-room
suite (starting at $139).
The money you don't spend on that second night will buy you plenty of apple cider and doughnuts.
The fine print: This offer expires on November 19, 2009. There are
blackout dates, and you have to call the hotel directly to book the deal. Call
800/444-1714 and ask for the “Fall Midweek Buy One, Get One Special.”
