Deciding how long your vacation should be is often as important as where you’ll stay. Take a trip that’s too long, and you’ll be begging for it to end, but if it’s too short, it’ll be over before you have a chance to enjoy yourself! We’ve found that taking a four-day vacation hits that perfect sweet spot for a getaway; it’s not so long that you’re tired of traveling, but just long enough that you’ll have time to have fun! Ready to take a vacation that feels just right? Then take a look at our list of the best 4-day vacations in the US.
One of the best 4-day vacations in the US lets you enjoy the great outdoors in Yellowstone National Park. Stretching out for nearly 3,500 square miles, is it any surprise you’ll find a lot to do here? Spend a day exploring the park’s 140 miles of shoreline. You can charter a boat and go fishing for native cutthroat trout or enjoy a bit of tranquil sightseeing. Or if you’d like something a bit more intense, try your hand at rafting in the Stillwater River, Snake River, or Yellowstone’s north entrance. With so much land to explore, it should come as no surprise that there’s a lot of wildlife to observe, and you can spend plenty of time marveling at the many elk, bison, eagles, and other creatures.
Naturally, you’ll have plenty of hiking trails to explore in Yellowstone. In fact, there are hundreds in this national park! Swing over to the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring Overlook Trail to see the spring the trail is named after in the Midway Geyser Basin. The trail is on the easy side, making it a great hike for anyone hoping to see one of Yellowstone’s springs. Another relatively straightforward trail is the Fairy Falls Trail, which takes travelers to the breathtaking falls. After a day of hiking or mountain biking around the park, you can end your night with stunning stargazing. Yellowstone minimizes light pollution, so you won’t need to go too far to find a good spot to watch the stars. It’s a great way to end one of the best four-day vacations.
You can’t take an outdoor vacation without having a good place to rest your head, and Anvil Hotel and Cache House is one of the best. Located in downtown Jackson Hole near Yellowstone, Anvil Hotel offers plenty of creature comforts to make you feel at home. If you want a great place to unwind during one of the best 4 day vacations in the US, the Anvil Hotel is perfect for you.

Sure, big cities have their appeal, but there’s plenty of fun to be had in small towns! In fact, the small town of Livingston Manor, New York, is one of the best destinations for 4 day vacations in the US. Set alongside the Willowemoc River at the southeast edge of the 300,000-acre Catskill Park, Livingston Manor is home to several charming restaurants, art, and antique shops. It’s also known as the birthplace of American fly fishing, which is why it’s the home of the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum.
If you want to see some art history in the Catskills, stop by the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. This site is the former home of the founder of the Hudson River School of Art, Thomas Cole. Now, his home is open for tours, events, and workshops, where you can see special exhibitions of Hudson River School painters. From there, take the Hudson River Skywalk to reach the Olana State Historic Site, another museum with renowned landscape paintings. Last but not least, make sure you visit the majestic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse. Built in 1874, this is one of the two remaining lighthouses that stand in the middle of the Hudson River.
Just 15 minutes from Livingston Manor, you’ll find Callicoon Hills. This casual vacation property is right in the hamlet of the Callicoon Center, a cozy little hideaway in the Catskills.
