White Barn Inn, Auberge Collection

This Coastal Maine Town Transforms Into a Holiday Wonderland Every December—and It Has a Lobster Trap Christmas Tree

"One of the most luxe hotels in the state and part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, this cozy, romantic inn is donned throughout December with decor from interior decorator Nathan Turner, and it’s exactly the place to kick your feet up by the fireplace and bask in the holiday atmosphere. Heated floors, gas fireplaces, and large soaking tubs make the rooms ideal for warming up from the chilly winter weather." - Jacqueline Dole Jacqueline Dole Jacqueline Dole is a food and travel journalist based in Maine.
