15 Hotels in New England to Plan a Weekend Getaway Around - AFAR

"Set in an 1891 mansion atop a 20-foot fieldstone wall overlooking Moosehead Lake, this Relais & Châteaux property offers a secluded North Woods escape with just 10 individually appointed rooms that mix mahogany dressers, antique armoires, wood-burning fireplaces, and deep soaking tubs. The 79-acre grounds include a trout pond and hiking trails to scenic overlooks, and the inn arranges wildlife excursions such as a guided “moose safari” (during which guests may also spot bears, beavers, deer, loons, and bald eagles). Dining centers on Slate Restaurant’s seasonal tasting menu, which can feature items like foraged mushroom risotto and balsam fir–cured gravlax." - Nicholas DeRenzo
