Set in a rustic, historic carriage house with its own private garden, this fall Airbnb in New Jersey offers you a front-row seat to nature's most beautiful season.
As summer comes to an end and fall starts creeping in, I look forward to the cool weather and stunning views. I've been on leaf-peeping trips to the Catskills and Maine in past years, but I think New Jersey is one of the most underrated destinations for fall foliage in the entire United States. We have so many great parks and trails that are surrounded by colors in September and October—but one of my favorite spots for seeing the leaves change is actually not far from some major cities in the town of West Caldwell. That's where you'll find the best fall Airbnb in New Jersey, a stunning carriage house on a historic estate. Not only is this vacation rental packed with old-school charm and wonderful amenities, but it's surrounded by a private garden that offers you a front-row seat as the trees around you start to change and put on their autumn best.
It's hard to believe that this beautiful estate is only twenty minutes from New York, because it feels like stepping into another world. This unique Airbnb is located on an estate that dates back to 1752, and you'll be staying in a restored carriage house that sleeps six—with some of the best surroundings of any vacation rental in the state.
The exterior might look rustic, but inside, this is one of the most beautiful and spacious vacation rentals in the area. The entire thing has been totally redone, with an airy living room, excellent Wi-Fi, and everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. If you're coming with kids, there are even age-appropriate toys provided.
The Airbnb is in the middle of one of the best dining areas in the state, so it would be easy to make a quick evening jaunt to Montclair for a wide array of international restaurants. But if you want to stay in one night, the comfortable and modern kitchen makes it easy to cook your own meals.
The home has three bedrooms—two queen beds and a double bed—as well as a sofa bed in the kitchen. No matter what bed you wind up with, you'll be woken up the same way: the morning sun creeping in through the wide windows. This place really feels like you're only inches away from natural beauty.
The highlight of this Airbnb has to be the stunning garden out back. Not only is it a great place for patio dining on a cool night, but it has unique features like a fountain in the middle of the hedges. As the fall colors start to turn, the trees right overhead will make this location even more beautiful—almost like they're putting on a show just for you.
