Did some research. Sure fits the requisite exotic. Somehow further drive than I expected but mayb I should just fly in for 4.5 avios. Plenty of availability. As far as accommodations, it seems to be basically bnb style or cheap motels. Have you been there and can recommend anything?
I haven't been, I think JJ has though. 
Look on VRBO.

Hope to make it down there one of these years.  Everyone raves about it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Looks beautiful as well. Not too feasible to drive in my allotted time but 4.5 avios could get me there easily. Accommodations seem to be easy there with some nice point options. Any specific recommendations? Also, given the scope of the Canadian maritime, I didn't delve too deeply. Where would I find seclusion?
Havent been either. Always wanted to take the "Cat" from Maine to Halifax.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

I may be wrong, but IIRC the cat hasn't been running in years.

have been lurking on ddf for weeks trying to find the perfect vacation idea. I want to take my 4 kids (ages 1-7 on a memorable summer trip. I would love to settle in somewhere with a scenic view that has attractions within an hour drive of the hotel.

I have been to Vermont, New hampshire, Bushkill falls and Pennsylvania. I want to try something out of the typical but I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill. All of the above mentioned vacation spots I have been to for a week and was a smashing success. Don't want to lower my expectations ..

Any ideas would be appreciated,  the ones with hands on experience get extra credit...

Thanks

Where did you research on DDF?
I didn't find anything here.
