Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Behind a weathered stone wall in the town's historic district sits this three-story 1756 Colonial house with 5½ acres of broad lawns, formal gardens, and herbaceous borders. The inn is small and inviting, with fireplaces in the parlors and dining rooms; most guest rooms have canopy or four-poster beds, and all are decorated with the work of local artists.

- lovely old home
- the on-site Chestnut Grille exudes romance, with fireplaces, candlelight, and innovative American cuisine
CONS
- may hear traffic noise from Interstate 95
