I’m looking for a place to stay this summer somewhere within 8ish hrs driving distance of NJ and AL. I usually rent a house and have family members contribute what they can afford. Due to Covid we would need separate lodging so I need affordable. Ideally we would like small cottages or efficiency units with kitchenette and bathrooms. Direct access rather than having to go through a hallway. Planning to spend our time outside as much as possible so easy trails and water access nearby are high on the list. We’re avoiding indoor spaces due to high risk factors so the usual museums, theme parks, etc are out for now.

(If you’re aware of such a place within 8 hrs of NJ in any direction please share as well.)
