5 Picturesque New England Hotels Perfect For 'Mud Season'

Not quite winter and not quite spring...this period of time is considered "Mud Season" in New England. Rainy days and thawing snow create pretty muddy conditions, but late March to early May (prime-time Mud Season) is actually a great time to plan an off-peak vacation.

Rates can sometimes be less than during ski season or the summer and hotels typically have fewer crowds. You can't beat that!
Here are our top 5 picks for where to stay for your perfect transition-season getaway...
