Fodor's Expert Review Charlotte's Creekside Inn

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The colonial-style house, on 3 wooded acres along the Sconondoa Creek, was built in 1813 by State Assemblyman Sydney Breese, uncle of inventor Samuel Morse. The property includes a multilevel deck and manicured gardens. Guest rooms, painted in bright greens and other cheery colors, embrace the flair of the Caribbean. The first floor houses the restaurant, which has four intimate dining rooms. The food is mostly Italian, but you also find fresh seafood dishes.
