    We stayed here on New Years' eve for a romantic get-away and this was a wonderful choice. Every afternoon, there was a fresh plate of homemade cookies in our room and every morning there was delicious spread of fruit salad, yogurt, and granola, coffee, juice, muffins or pastries, and french toast or some other yummy main dish. Beth is a great chef and hostess! She also provided us with local menus and recommended a fantastic sea-food restaurant within walking distance with the best scallops I have ever had (Seneca Harbor Station). The rooms at the Benjamin Hunt Inn are both spacious and cozy. The two upstairs bedrooms (the green room and blue room) are my favorites. There is also an upstairs common room to play board games or just hang out and read. Our room (the blue room) had cable television, a huge bathroom, a refrigerator, and an extra twin bed. I left feeling pampered and refreshed and hope to visit again soon. Oh, and Buddy the dog is friendly and adorable!

    Lovely....
