Fall is my favorite time to get away. I love looking at the foliage, curling up beside a campfire, making s’mores and honestly, I love the fact that when summer is over, crowds go away. After all, if I’m going on a vacation, I want it to be relaxing and peaceful.
If you’re similar to me, you’re in luck. It’s not too late to book one of the best fall getaways in Delaware – the Resort at Massey’s Landing, outside of Millsboro. It’s hard to find and it’s pretty isolated, so you might have to consult a few maps to find the place. If you’re looking for an affordable, luxurious spot to hole up for a few crisp fall days, this is your place. With RV sites, primitive sites, and (my favorite) luxury cottages, you’ll find what you need here to stay for a comfortable and unique Delaware resort experience.
The Resort at Massey’s Landing is between Rehoboth Bay and the Indian River Bay.

Massey’s Landing offers various camping options.

The cottages turn camping into “glamping,” for sure.

Where else can you camp with a fully equipped kitchen, full bath, furnished living room with cable TV, wireless Internet, heat and air conditioning? Two of the cottages are ADA accessible, so be sure to talk to the resort about any special accommodations you may require.
The cottages are also pet friendly, which is an amazing feature for those of us who have a hard time finding a long-term pet sitter.

All pet-friendly units will include a $10 per night, per pet cleaning fee. They do limit pets to one large dog or 2 small dogs.
The bedrooms in the cottages are comfy and clean.

There are only a few weeks left to take your Delaware resort trip this year, so hurry up and book now!
Facebook / The Resort at Massey’s Landing Massey’s Landing closes for the year in November, and will open again early in 2017.

This is the ideal time to try one of the best resorts in Delaware.
