"Top 5 Eastern US Summer Destinations" (forbes)
"If you can tear yourself away from "Gerry's Berry Buffet Breakfast" or afternoon cookies and cream on the veranda, you might consider touring the surrounding area where this charming 1830's B&B is located; classic styling is met with luxurious modern amenities (Molton Brown bath products) at this cliffside spot frequented by TV producers scouting locations and soaking up works of the former artists-in-residence" -- ZAGAT Top US Hotels, Resorts and Spas, 2006 Guide.
"This handsome inn offers a homey atmosphere just a short walk to the center of town.
One of the highlights is the immense wraparound porch, complete with rocking charis, where you could relax away an afternoon if you like.
Rooms, which are spotlessly clean, range widely in size from the garret rooms on the third floor, to more spacious expanses on the second floor. Little extras include luxury bath products and robes. The entire property is outfitted with free wireless Internet. An artist-in-residence program means the walls are hung with numerous interesting paintings." ---Frommers Guide, New England
