Distance from Baltimore: 166 miles, about a three-hour drive

Why it's cool: Located outside of Penn State, the Victorian mansion is everything you expect in a Bed and Breakfast: quaint, cozy, floral wallpaper and delicious breakfasts. The "innkeepers" offer several activities throughout the year, from culinary courses to complimentary concert tickets to high tea. You can choose from a selection of unique rooms, many of which feature an in-room whirlpool tub. For additional relaxation consider purchasing a massage therapy package or the Wine and Dine package.

Don't miss: Strolling around the small Victorian town of Bellefonte, home to several beautiful Victorian homes, along with several dining options and cute local shops.
