Is beautiful. My daughter is in school up there and we have gone multiple times. A day trip to NYC might not be a great idea. It is at least a 4 hr drive each way and that is without traffic. Boston is very managable and only about a 45min drive. We usually stay in Seekonk, MA. I am not sure on B&B's in the area but I am sure you could find some. Try to stay in the 195 corridor and you should be ok.
