This small, upscale resort blends modern town-house condominiums with an 1869 clapboard inn, complete with a wraparound porch and bountiful flower boxes. Unlike other area inns, this place aims its sights at small meetings and families with children. The rooms are lovely enough to lure honeymooners, but meetings downstairs can kill romance during the week.
Floral fabrics, a wood-burning stove and a piano atop patinaed floors welcome guests into the spacious lobby. Original stained-glass windows in the stairwell and a pool table add vitality to the enclosed porch. Jazz combos entertain guests on weekends. The semiformal dining room is one of the most respected and expensive in the village, serving all meals overlooking the golf course. The
five-course dinners are very popular, and in high season booking a dinner table along with rooms is recommended. Listed rates include breakfast and dinner.
The public areas aren't the only facilities here: Recreation options include a heated outdoor pool, 18-hole golf course, tennis court, skating rink and mountain bikes. Tours and hiking can be arranged. One meeting room accommodates gatherings of up to 50 people, with the lawns available for larger groups of 100 or more. Parking is free.
Guest rooms are housed in the main building and three outbuildings. Although they are standardized, these are among the most luxurious 
accommodations in the region, with common features such as thick carpeting or hardwood floors, quality reproduction furnishings, TVs, and handsome baths with freestanding tubs and showers. Rooms in the main inn are smaller and more traditional, and those in the two traditional clapboard annexes offer more stylish, contemporary decor. The former all have plush carpeting, charming king-sized sleigh or four-poster beds, gas fireplaces and whirlpools tubs. Four have large, cedar hot tubs on private decks, with the best of the four choices being 407. The elegant ambience is enhanced with fine furnishings, Oriental rugs atop gleaming wood floors, and thoughtful lighting. So-called suites are mainly large rooms with sitting areas, except those in Amster, which include parlors. This building is also used for small groups and families, who enjoy the private lobby area with a stone fireplace and private sauna. Families are also fond of the condominiums, which have living and dining areas, laundry rooms, two or three bedrooms, and two and a half baths. Some rooms are smoke-free, and some are designed for travelers with disabilities. Pets are not allowed.
Those searching for more intimate surroundings will find them at nearby Nestlenook Farm, a romantic seven-room inn. The owner here is increasing a corporate presence during the week, though the emphasis on romance for couples is tangible on the weekends. Families will be very happy in one of the condominiums any day of the week.
