The First State is made almost entirely of small towns and those of us who live here know that each one has its own personality and cozy community. If you’re looking for a winter getaway or a chilly weather day trip, why not plan to get to know some of our favorite places?
- Milford
Facebook / Downtown Milford, Inc. Winter is a quiet season in Downtown Milford, which is otherwise often busy with events and festivals. Take a walk down by the river before enjoying dinner or a day of shopping. Milford, DE 19963, USA
- Dover

- Rehoboth Beach

- Bethany Beach

- New Castle

- Lewes

- Montchanin / Greenville
Facebook / The Inn at Montchanin Village and Spa For a truly luxurious winter getaway, book a stay at the Inn at Montchanin. Treat yourself to a spa day or use the Inn as a base camp for exploring Delaware’s chateau country.
