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.

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.
