A leaf peeping dreamscape in maple syrup country

Even in a sea of amazing New England fall foliage, Reading's colors stand out. A Reading vacation rental will wrap you in a fire of blazing autumn leaves that will leave even the most jaded urbanite breathless. Drive the winding country roads and take in the gorgeous rural views (Instagram-worthy in any season), and be sure to grab some maple syrup from a local farm along the way. Better yet, dust off those hiking boots to get some fresh air and exercise while you leaf peep. You'll want to upgrade to cross-country skis or snowshoes in winter.

Pack your coziest sweater for autumn in Reading

Fall brings the leaf peepers out in droves, with leaves usually reaching their fiery peak (and Reading vacation rentals reaching peak demand) between mid-September and late October. Autumn sees wide swings in temperatures, with highs going up to 70 and lows dipping into the 30s, so pack layers. Winters are snowy and cold, and it's not uncommon for the farmlands to be blanketed in the fluffy white stuff from November till April. The rest of the year enjoys sun and mild summer temperatures, with the mercury typically only crossing into the 80s in July or August.

Reading's oasis of rolling farms and fiery forests

When you imagine a postcard of New England, you're probably picturing Reading. In a Reading vacation rental, you'll be at one with nature, surrounded by picturesque rolling farms and nearly untouched forests. Plenty of tree-lined hiking trails offer the perfect way to soak up the country sunshine and fresh mountain air, and perhaps stumble across some local wildlife along the way. If you're craving an adrenaline fix, the ski mountains dotting the area should do the trick. No matter where you go, you'll be a far cry from the hustle and bustle of city life.
