Fodor's Expert Review Shelter Harbor Inn

With whimsically sumptuous decor styled by celebrity fashion designer Randolph Duke, this early-19th-century farmhouse inn and restaurant has 21st-century Instagrammability. Located in the village of Shelter Harbor, 5 miles from downtown Westerly, it was first established in 1911 as a music colony. The 22 rooms are in the main building and a converted barn, some with en-suite fireplaces. The third-floor Ascend Spa is a soothing retreat that can be enjoyed solo or with a partner, and guests have access to a nearby private beach and an outdoor tennis court. The new Farmhouse Kitchen + Bar (opened in 2022) serves dinner Wednesday--Sunday.
