Planning a winter cabin trip for 8 adults in November. Looking at locations in the US or Canada.

Some criteria:

1. We want to experience some cold but not freezing cold. About 10°C/50F at the coldest.

2. Somewhere accessible and close to a main airport with flight options.

3. We're getting an Airbnb so somewhere with options for a big group at reasonable prices.

4. We'd like to avoid anywhere near a big, popular ski resort.

Any suggestions?

Your #1 covers #4, you won't find a ski resort in a place that isn't reliably under 50F in Nov. Plus, skiing typically requires mountains, and the altitude makes the mountains significantly colder.

Idk how old this map is, but the green and yellow are your spots. Doubtful that a cabin vibe is widely available in any of those locations.

Opting for over 40F would get you a lot more options as most of the country doesn't consider 50F to be winter at all. Also might help to distinguish highs and lows, as the temp really plummets overnight in Nov and only really freezes the morning activities.

My recommendation would be somewhere in the Appalachians, but that's surely too cold.

Happy to help. Asheville was a good rec, but it will likely be under 50 at night. It'll probably be perfect, but could also easily be 70+ or under 50.

You sound like someone that would like LA. Have you thought about a winter beach house instead?

This is interesting. I've been to LA in the spring and summer but not in the fall/winter

Asheville. Possibly north Georgia—like blue ridge. For Asheville you can fly directly there. For blue ridge you would need to fly into Chattanooga or Atlanta and then drive about 2 hours.

Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa are about the only options in Canada with their requirements.

Upstate NY or the Poconos are what I typically do. I have also done Mt. Snow in VT. I live in Jersey though so these are more local for me.

North Georgia mountains, like BlueRidge. 2 hour drive from Atlanta airport.

North Carolina, Georgia mountains or Colorado .. you can do colder than 50 it will be ok!

Does anyone remember flat, round water bottles from the early 1990s? Like for school kids? They had some kind of ice pack that you would freeze and it kept your water cool. And then you would squeeze it to drink?
I think they came in neon colors?
All the cool kids had one. Not me though 😏.
