At this intimate, exclusive property, no detail has been overlooked in the meticulously appointed cottages and rooms, most of which blend contemporary comforts with classic elements and have fireplaces, marble soaking tubs, and double walk-in showers. Professional staff set the tone for a relaxing, pampered experience that is best rounded off with a multicourse meal in the acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant, which is housed in a pair of elegantly restored 1920s barns.

The sister property to Nantucket’s fabled White Elephant Resort, this black and white stunner is a total transformation of the former Bradley Park Hotel, which was one of the first hotels in the area in the 1920s. The 32-room and suite property has the feel of a private residence, with each accommodation offering a private outdoor space. Rooms are outfitted in hardwood floors, Carrara marble, woven rugs, and L'Occitane bath products. Pratesi linens, robes, slippers, and Turkish towels add to the luxe vibe.

The camp, built in 1907, has hosted many prominent guests. It was known as the "summer White House" after President Calvin Coolidge vacationed here in 1926. The location, amid majestic pines on 35 acres on Lake Osgood, is a big draw. The property encompasses several cabins, most of them 100 feet away from the water. All have kitchens or kitchenettes and fireplaces or woodstoves and are fully furnished. Only six cabins are open all year. From late June through Labor Day, the minimum stay is a week; a two-night minimum is usually required the rest of the year. Because the property is of historic and architectural interest, small tours sometimes come through the camp, including the guest cabins. The camp is 12 mi northwest of Saranac Lake.

This sterling, light-filled B&B offers a soothing respite from the bustle of town; opt for one of the carriage-house rooms for even more seclusion.

Guests can also enjoy the property's integrated art gallery with original works from artists around the world.

Rooms are in two different buildings: the stylish 10-story tower building completed in 2011 as part of a $45-million expansion has spacious and attractive rooms. The older courtyard building's rooms are more economical but small and very dated; the building is slated for replacement with a new 200-room tower in the near future. On-site draws include the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute museum, one of the largest casinos in the state, several restaurants and bars, a concert hall, and an acclaimed 18-hole golf course.

It's a great base for hiking the mountains and coastline, or for a relaxing getaway. Wander secluded paths through meditation gardens, where ceramics reward a closer look, then order wine and a massage in your room, or visit the deep in-ground spa tub. A communal guesthouse with wraparound porch overlooking the Pacific is available for the daily buffet breakfast, to prepare food, or to play games.

Though 30 minutes from Downtown Seattle, Willows Lodge is within walking distance to a number of Woodinville wineries and tasting rooms.

Built in 1907, the Windsor Hotel shook off any signs of age with a top-to-bottom renovation—each of its spacious suites is individually decorated, but look for nice details like reclaimed wood floors and exposed brick walls.

A departure from most properties on the island, the contemporary Winnetu—styled after the grand multistory resorts of the Gilded Age—has successfully struck a fine balance in that it both encourages families and provides a contemporary seaside-resort experience for couples. In addition to options in the main inn, which all have kitchens and decks or patios with views of gardens, the two pools (and hot tub), or of the Atlantic, there are 68 three- to five-bedroom homes available to rent by the week; it's a great option for large families, and all resort amenities are shared.

This private, 113-acre hideaway a few miles south of Litchfield consists of 18 imaginative and luxuriously outfitted cottages, each with a distinctive, often amusing, theme---like the Helicopter Cottage, built around a genuine, 1968-vintage Sikorsky helicopter (the fuselage has been fitted with a wet bar).

A fireplace warms the grand lobby, and the sitting area just up the stairs is a memorable place to read a book or reflect on a day of skiing and hiking. You can sip a drink in the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill—aptly named for the 2,032 silver dollars embedded on top of the bar—or amble through swinging doors into the restaurant for a fine meal. The hotel also operates the famous Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, around the corner.

Each of the 16 A-frame cabins in this inviting complex features a private porch and vintage touches like a record player and classic games.
