Weekends for Two in New England

Description

From the rugged, rocky coast of Maine's Acadia National Park, to the snowy ski slopes of Vermont, to the magnificent mansions of Newport Rhode Island, New England has more than its share of romantic destinations. In this second revised and updated guide, author Bill Gleeson has carefully searched for-and found the best places to stay for those with romance in mind. Surround yourself with 19th century splendor at Boston's historic Charles Street Inn, an urban retreat that's an ideal base for exploring the city by day and relaxing in front of your private fireplace by night. Perhaps you're looking for ocean breezes and quiet walks on the beach--head to Nantucket's gorgeous Wauwinet Inn, a classic beach house, where, when you're not enjoying the sun and sand, you can have movies delivered to your room complete with popcorn. If the mountains are more your style, trek to the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, where the Notchland Inn offers stained glass windows, private porches leading to flower and herb gardens, and, after you've hiked by roaring waterfalls, a luxurious hot tub in an outdoor gazebo. Whether city or country, elegant hideaway or secluded cottage, "Weekends for Two in New England" makes it easy to refresh, rekindle, and relax with someone you love.
