On a warm afternoon you'll love to "sit a spell" in a rocking chair on the front porch of Hendersonville's oldest inn.

There's a social hour each evening featuring local craft beer, and the cozy library has an array of board games.

Fresh flowers, lovely antiques, and touches of Portuguese lace set the mood at this Queen Anne–style beauty.

This innovative hotel, housed in a historic bank building, is the perfect fusion of art museum and boutique hotel.

The Counting House restaurant serves creative cocktails and Southern-inspired entrées, pastas, and small plates, and the small hotel spa offers massages. Even if you don't stay here, be sure to tour the edgy galleries and visit the underground bank vault and its eerie series of passageways.

Next door to The Station Inn sits this very private boutique hotel with just four loft-style king rooms, no lobby, keyless entry, and no common area. Local craftspeople built a majority of the furniture and a good deal of the rest are antiques, lending a kind of rural charm to this decidedly urban escape. The central location makes this a great pick for those determined to explore on foot.

Behind a somewhat bland prefab exterior lies an eclectic boutique experience, thanks in large part to the virtual curiosity cabinet of exotic (or faux exotic) knickknacks stuffed throughout the premises, brought by the Africa-based owners.

Operated by the Jamestown S'Kallam Tribe and containing its popular casino, this five-story hotel has some of the most stylish and contemporary accommodations on the peninsula—rooms are at least 400 square feet and feature floor-to-ceiling windows and local tribal artwork. Although it draws plenty of fans of gaming, the hotel is a convenient choice for all, set on U.S. 101 right by Sequim Bay State Park and offering a pretty good restaurant and—a short drive down the road—an extensive market and deli. Play-and-stay packages include a round of golf at the tribal-owned Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, a few miles away.

This reimagined and refreshed circa-1883 sea captain's home in the heart of Nantucket has a literary bent with rooms that celebrate Nantucket notables like writers Elin Hilderbrand and Nathaniel Philbrick.

Among other niceties, they offer a BYOB mixer bar in the afternoon and rides to the ferry and beach in the house Jeep.

Awash in style and modern luxury yet firmly rooted in historic authenticity, this boutique hotel caters to the well-to-do with a taste for understated class. The rooms each have a canopy bed but are otherwise unique, from hand-stenciled wallpaper to a stunning free-standing glass shower in the sole room on the top floor. Communal spaces are equally impressive, including a library with an honor bar, a salon where afternoon wine and cheese are served, and a kitchen where the Euro-Continental breakfast is served each morning. 

A few blocks from the interstate and near Southern Utah University, this two-story economical motel has spacious rooms with exterior entrances, refrigerators, microwaves, and—in the case of suites—kitchens and jetted tubs.

Just steps from Geneva Lake, this full-service resort on 90 landscaped acres offers amenities for every type of traveler.

But you won't stay long, because the 35,000-square-foot Avani spa beckons with treatments such as a seaweed bath that's said to boost weight-loss, a reflexology massage or the new Bacial that combines a skin-rejuvenating facial with an exfoliating body scrub. Don't feel like leaving your sunny spot at the outdoor pool? Opt for a poolside massage. Kids are fully entertained by the Abbey's activity staff who provide babysitting and organize everything from lawn games to bonfires to in-pool movies.

A pair of upscale private rentals, on the trolley line one minute from downtown Eureka Springs, are showplaces of fine art, accessories, and interior design.

The Abernathy is a generously sized one-bedroom jewel featuring a full kitchen, private deck, fireplace, and Jacuzzi tub for two nicely positioned underneath a skylight. The companion property, The Studio, which opened in 2013, is an equally enticing but smaller version.

Bathrooms have rainforest shower heads, and there's a quite-good tapas bar, a well-appointed fitness center, and a convenience store on-property.

If you're seeking the convenience of Downtown with ultramodern style, vibe, and amenities, this Marriott boutique hotel fits the bill nicely.

This modern, upscale hotel is in a great location right downtown, with easy access to bars, restaurants, and shops, though parking can be a hassle in the high season. You can expect high levels of cleanliness and service, and there are two bars on-site, one in the lobby and the other on the roof, with grand views of the city and the surrounding mountains. 

Loftlike spaces, dramatic art, and lounge seating in the second-floor lobby create a minimalistic atmosphere more like a nightclub than your standard Marriott hotel. Rooms are simple yet elegant, in shades of white, gray, and taupe, with platform beds and contemporary touches. A fire pit on the lobby's patio burns year-round.

The front door of this sleek boutique hotel leads directly out to the Vancouver Waterfront Trail, Vancouver Landing Amphitheater, and the growing collection of restaurants, wineries, and shops that make up the city's bustling and beautifully designed riverfront.

The good times always seem to be rolling at this former Howard Johnson's that was brilliantly transformed into a buzzy boho boutique hotel by the hipster, Seattle-based Ace brand. Don't be surprised to find gaggles of guests playing trivia games while gathered around cozy communal fire pits, waving their hands in the air during a live show at the big wackily shaped main pool, or guzzling drinks in the Amigo Room. Rooms, on two floors, are spacious and immaculate with simple vintage appointments and fully stocked minibars. Some have fun extras: turntables, open-air showers, or ground-floor patios with fireplaces. The hotel is canine-friendly, with its own dog park. Weekend events and the pool day-pass program draw locals and enhance the party atmosphere.

The quintessential Portland hipster lodging, this flagship location of the buzzy Ace Hotels brand contains a Stumptown Coffee café, is a block from Powell's Books and the Pearl District, and is right in the heart of Downtown's ever-trendy West End neighborhood. The minimalist-chic rooms are outfitted with comfortable, futon-style mattresses, locally made furniture, flat-screen TVs, and original wall murals—some have vintage accessories like turntables and vintage vinyl collections; others have iPod docks. Some rooms have private bath/showers, the less expensive rooms share. The cool common areas have large comfy couches and well-stocked bookshelves.

Alongside Richardson Bay, this stylish boutique hotel has bright, perfectly pleasant rooms decorated in soft Zen-like color schemes. Rooms facing west have full bay views (some with views of Mt. Tamalpais), and many feature private patios; all junior suites include soaking tubs and the premium ones feature a wood-burning fireplace. In true Marin County spirit, complimentary mountain bikes are provided for guests. Weekends require a two-night minimum stay during the busier times of the year.

In the heart of the historic Hyde Park, this two-story, colonial revival-style home is convenient for a variety of restaurants and gathering places.

A separate bungalow offers a little more privacy (albeit less historical charm).

Just a minute's walk from both the center of Rockport and the train station, this 1851 inn sits in a prime location.

In the third-floor suite, with its own entrance, huge windows look out over the rooftops to the sea. In the afternoon, sweet treats are set out for guests. Children age 12 and older are welcome.

Elegant Victorian furnishings fill this cozy, cedar-shingled beach mansion overlooking the ocean. As welcoming in winter as it is in summer, the adults-only inn, built in 1902, retains original tin ceilings and woodwork, and though the style is formal, the atmosphere is relaxed. Sip morning coffee on a porch rocking chair or meet for afternoon tea in the fancy parlor.

The impressive lobby of one of the city's original late-19th-century hotels has slightly worn divans, elaborately stenciled walls and ceilings, and trompe-l'oeil details. The grand staircase leads to three floors of guest rooms and common spaces, including a second-story piazza overlooking Broadway. Bedroom styles—from Victorian and French country to Adirondacks and Arts and Crafts—are diverse. The bar, which spills off the lobby and into a courtyard, is a favorite evening gathering spot for drinks and desserts.
