Slow down, savor the season, and make unforgettable memories.

There’s something magical about fall in Windham. The crisp mountain air, the crunch of golden leaves beneath your feet, and the cozy charm of slowing down make it the perfect time to escape, recharge, and reconnect with yourself — or with loved ones.

At Unwind Windham, we believe in creating space for simple pleasures and meaningful moments. Whether you’re seeking peace, adventure, or a little of both, autumn here is pure magic. To help you make the most of the season, we’ve put together the ultimate fall bucket list — the perfect guide for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

1. Make S’mores by the Fire Pit

There’s no better way to end a crisp fall day than gathering around a warm, crackling fire. At Unwind Windham, our cozy fire pit is the perfect place to unwind, roast marshmallows, and savor gooey, chocolatey s’mores under the stars.

Bring your favorite blanket, wrap yourself up, and let the conversation flow as the flames dance. The mountain air gets cooler as the night settles in, making this the ultimate spot to connect — whether with friends, family, or a special someone. Don’t forget the hot cocoa to make it extra sweet.

2. Read a Book By the Fireplace with a Warm Drink

Sometimes the most memorable moments come from slowing down. Imagine cozying up in by the fireplace in the dining room, wrapped in a soft throw blanket, holding your favorite book in one hand and a steaming mug of coffee, tea, or cider in the other.

Let yourself sink into the peaceful rhythm of the day as you listen to the gentle sounds of nature and feel the warmth on your skin. It’s the kind of stillness that feeds the soul — and one of the most loved fall rituals here at Unwind Windham.

3. Listen to the Sounds of Nature

Fall in Windham is a sensory experience — the kind you can only truly appreciate when you pause and take it all in. Step outside, close your eyes, and breathe deeply.

Hear the rustle of falling leaves, the soft whistle of the mountain breeze, and maybe even the distant call of birds heading south for the winter. These quiet moments are grounding and restorative, a gentle reminder to be fully present.

Whether you choose to meditate, journal, or simply sit and savor the stillness, connecting with nature is one of the simplest — and most powerful — ways to recharge.

4. Take a Golden Hour Photo Walk

Fall paints Windham in a breathtaking palette of amber, gold, and crimson. One of the best ways to capture the season’s beauty is with a golden hour photo walk.

Just before sunset, when the light turns soft and golden, wander through nearby trails or around the property and soak in the scenery. Snap photos of fiery foliage, mountain views, or even the little details — like the dew on fallen leaves or the shadows stretching across the grass.

Not into photography? Leave the camera behind and simply walk, breathe, and let the warm light of the season wrap around you.

5. Cozy Up for a Movie Marathon

After a day spent exploring or relaxing outdoors, there’s nothing better than retreating inside for a cozy movie night. Make a bowl of popcorn, grab your fluffiest blanket, and settle in.

Whether you’re in the mood for timeless fall favorites, laugh-out-loud comedies, or heartwarming family films, a movie marathon is the perfect way to end a slow autumn day. For an extra cozy touch, brew a cup of hot apple cider or mulled wine to sip as you watch.
