With a perfect Location score, this hilltop White Mountains inn is "great for getting away from it all." Cozy rooms have fireplaces, double whirlpool tubs, and feather beds. The dining room is "known in the area" for its New England cuising with Mediterranean accents, extensive beer selection, and 3,000-bottle wine cellar.
- Chosen
one of 'America's Most Wine Friendly Restaurants"
by Wine Enthusiast, February 2006, :
New Hampshire's White Mountains frame this lovely country inn, and the views of Mount Washington will make you think you've stepped into a postcard. One look at the wine list, though, and you'll swear you're in the big city. The 1,600-selection cellar covers all regions. Diners choose from 25 wines by the glass or sample from seven flights (2-ounce glasses of three bottlings) that have been specially paired with various items on chef Jonathan Cox's globally accented contemporary menu. Besides wine tastings, dinners and seminars, innkeepers Jim and Ibby Cooper host a wine club. Members receive inscribed glasses, discounts and invitations to quarterly tastings. A fire in 2002 devastated the inn's main (circa 1895) building; it reopened in 2004 after a reconstruction that was faithful to the original Stanford White design but added many updates, including a climate-controlled cellar. Many older vintages had to be sanitized per state law, but are just fine, apart from some label damage.
