Description: Perched on a wooded ridge, this small inn looks like a well-restored 18th-century home but the rustic barn–red clapboard exterior belies its 2002 origins. The brand-new interior was custom crafted for the inn’s owners and features a keeping room with an open hearth and a dining room painted with wall murals depicting early New England life. The inn’s 5 rooms are comfy with unique touches—pleasingly painted woodwork, rooms filled with antiques, and good-sized private bathrooms.
