Just throw a dart at the map of New England. Where it lands you will most likely find what you are looking for.

Burlington VT. Cozy town with lots of nature. Also skiing ~6 hour drive.

There are a lot of hiking opportunities up there as well, but it may be covered in snow. The food and drink scene is also incredible there, if that’s your thing. My friend group has been going to Vermont yearly for the last 6 years, but we go in August.

It's a really quaint little town, surrounded by nature. I think it's technically a city, it has the tallest building in VT at 6 stories. There are cabins just outside of town with hiking and maple flavored everything in town, the restaurants are pretty decent. It'll probably be really cold and there's probably a lot of snow, so you'll want to check the conditions before you plan anything. Lake Champlain might be frozen in some spots so you could go ice fishing or maybe skating/hockey.

It's real crunchy up there, you'll be smelling patchouli at more than one shop

If you haven’t been to Harpers Ferry WV it’s a real neat tiny town. Not as far away as WV sounds. The Appalachian Trail literally goes through town.

I’m not sure how this would be in the winter, but I’ve been to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard in the spring and a lot of towns there would fit that description.

My husband and I love Newport, RI. Three or so hours from Bergen County. Although we’ve never been in the winter, they’ve got great restaurants and the mansion tours are a fun activity!

All of the nature within 4-5 hours has a solid chance of being covered in snow in January. Yet, skiing, snow boarding, tubing, etc are off the table?

Saratoga Springs, NY is a neat town with great shops, restaurants, bars, some historical stuff. Also, Virginia Beach popped into my head, there’s a huge aquarium there…
