Eye On Weather: New England's Coziest Inns

BOSTON (CBS) - Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, or just everyday life?

There are so many places to visit, right in our own back yard!

New England is home to some of the country's coziest inns.

So your ticket to rest and relaxation is just a car ride away!

JACKSON HOUSE INN

Let's start up north in the peaceful town of Woodstock, Vermont.  That's where you'll find the Jackson House Inn, a classic bed and breakfast offering modern amenities, just outside of downtown.

The food is fantastic and features locally grown, organic ingredients, like freshly harvested maple syrup.

And here's a big plus:  the inn is also committed to protecting the environment.

POMEGRANATE INN

Next up is the Pomegranate Inn in Portland, Maine.  Known for its eclectic decor and soothing atmosphere, this bed and breakfast has become a favorite getaway for artists and anyone who appreciates beautiful design.

Some of the featured pieces at the inn were created by Maine's most well-known and well-loved recent artists.  Pomegranate is the perfect place to curl up with a book, get inspired for artistic pursuits and enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea by the fire.

CLIFFSIDE INN

Maybe a seaside mansion is more your speed.  Newport, Rhode Island's Cliffside Inn provides ocean views along with unparalleled comfort.  And during the off-season, this luxury bed and breakfast offers a whole new level of coziness and serenity.

Perks include a fire pit, whirlpool baths, pet-friendly accommodations and a bottle of wine served upon arrival.  The Cliffside Inn is ideal for people who enjoy the glamour of old Newport without giving up modern amenities.

CENTERBOARD INN

Nantucket is another fantastic place to visit during the off season.  And the Centerboard Inn is one of the island's finest, featuring a classic, coastal feel.

Remodeled in 2012, the house is contemporary and fresh and the 12-foot ceilings give it a light and airy feel.

Enjoy the daily breakfast on the front patio, then stroll through beautiful downtown.

The Centerboard Inn is also a perfect venue for an anniversary or birthday because it happily provides champagne, chocolates, candles and anything else you need to create a cozy weekend.

So, even if you're not into winter sports, there are so many other ways to enjoy New England this season.

You can get more information on each of these inns here.
