Places i highly recommend for a long weekend that are around 3ish hours away from Jersey City

I love staying at Airbnbs to reset. Here are some of my favorite places that are about 3ish hours away from Jersey City. All of these listings are thoughtfully designed and are perfect to ease in, cozy up, unplug, create, and cook. Most of these places are dog friendly and are great for couples or a small group. My criteria is simple: must have a fireplace or fire pit and/or a record player, and a good kitchen.
