Whether you're exploring a big city at a slower pace or soaking in the tranquility of the mountains, here are some of the top US destinations for a peaceful getaway, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

Waterville, Maine, sits along the Kennebec River, surrounded by abundant nature.

Stay at the Lockwood Hotel, which has recently introduced a "Maine River Retreat" fly fishing package. This offers a half-day guided fishing trip along with meals from the hotel's restaurant, Front & Main, which specializes in seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients.

After recharging from your time on the water, enjoy a leisurely hike on the Quarry Road Trails or explore the Colby College Museum of Art, a peaceful haven for American and contemporary art.

Relax in the serene atmosphere of Lake Forest, a charming town of around 20,000 people located along the shores of Lake Michigan in the Chicagoland area. 

The peaceful vibe sets in the moment you enter the Deer Path Inn, where the Tudor-style rooms are designed for tranquility. 

Enhance your quiet getaway by enjoying a surprise book from the Lake Forest Book Store with the inn’s "A Good Book and Spot of Tea" evening experience.

During the day, take a stroll along the peaceful shores of Lake Forest Beach, just minutes from the hotel, or visit the nearby Chicago Botanic Garden.

In Cocoa Beach, you're just under an hour from Orlando, yet the pace feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the theme park area.

For a peaceful experience, consider reserving an evening kayaking tour through the serene waters of Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, and Indian River Lagoon (available from June to October) or admire the species of plants and animals that inhabit the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge while enjoying the calming embrace of nature.
