Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Set far off the main road and surrounded by apple trees and lilacs, this secluded estate suggests an age when time was measured in generations. A dedicated horticulturist created this haven in the 1920s, expanding on a 1790 farmstead. You can see the old adzed beams in some of the upstairs bedrooms. The owners have high standards for the rooms and the decor; among the showpieces is the Greenhouse Room, a bedroom with its own conservatory. You'll find an all-weather tennis court on the grounds, and the namesake beach 1 mile away. The inn's restaurant is known for New American dinners skillfully prepared by one of the island's best chefs.
