  I don't know how local you're talking about (same state, same country etc) but maybe Disney or maybe spend a week in NYC at a nice hotel.

  Hey! I am in a similar boat as you. We're in CT and having a June wedding.  Our budget is limited, so we've been looking at the northeast (and more recently wandering farther west).  We like to hike a bit, so we have thought about the White Mountains of NH, Acadia National Park in Maine, and then Montreal for more of a city-based getaway.  We haven't made any decisions and I am not sweating the HM plans as of yet.  I typically plan vacations 2-3 months out, so I hope to have a solid plan by March or so.
  
  Good luck with your search!  PM me if you get any good ideas : )

  I have a family friend who owns a condo farther down south on the Jersey Shore...and no please don't think of the MTV show! LOL...Its a quiet beach town where we could really relax and they wouldn't charge us to stay there for the week. I'd have to check with them first of course.  I like the B&B idea, on my drive in to work I was thinking Niagara Falls cause I've never been.  And has much as I love my hubby to be, he's not coming up with any other options.  I'll just have to look around and present the ideas to him.
  
  Hubby to be has never been to Disney but that's still out of our price range and NYC is more of a day trip.  I used to work in the city so its 'magic' is lost on me...though I do miss it!
  
  I didn't think about Montreal or going North with the HM...I'll have to investigate more.
  
  Thanks for the help!!

  [QUOTE]I think you should do a north east tour!! Drive up the coast... stay in Bed and Breakfasts. Go to Maine (wonderful lakes, mountains/ national parks, coastline, lobster), Vermont, NH. Your idea of Niagra Falls was good too!!

  There are definitely a lot of places you could go from your area.
  
  What about Lake Placid
  Catskills
  
  Also, Cape Cod isn't too far of a drive and affordable in June.
  
  Here's a great tool I use when we don't have anything planned for the weekend:

  Not sure how far you were thinking of traveling for your Stay-cation but here are a couple places that we like to visit in the new england area:
  In Chatham (cape cod): http://www.chathambarsinn.com/
  In the lakes region of NH: http://millfalls.com/
  hopefully june will offer some off-peak rates too.
