"Grand and manicured on the outside, but updated for fun inside, this New England escape is where I linger in the yellow parlor and quiet library, and take in Celerie Kemble’s deft mix—mustard walls, striped sofas, tasseled chairs, floral gallery walls, and antiques that somehow read utterly relaxing. It draws weekender crowds who want fantastic food, outdoorsy diversions, and an unforgettable spa; in fall I cozy up for s’mores by the fire, join seasonal cooking classes focused on harvest ingredients, and book autumn‑inspired treatments like pumpkin facials and apple cider massages." - Jessica Chapel
