Norumbega

You'll have no problem finding Norumbega; head north out of town and look for the castle on the right. This 1886 stone mansion, built by telegraph system inventor Joseph Stearns, is wonderfully eccentric, full of wondrous curves, angles, and materials; it's on the National Historic Registry. There's extravagant carved-oak woodwork in the lobby, a stunning oak-and-mahogany inlaid floor, and a kingly downstairs billiards room. Guest rooms have been meticulously restored and furnished with antiques; some have fireplaces, three ground-level units sport private decks, and most now have televisions. Two suites rank among the finest in northern New England: the amazingly bright and airy Library Suite, in the original two-story library (it has an interior balcony) and the sprawling Penthouse with its superlative bay views, king-size bed, and huge oval tub. Don't miss Norumbega's "Murder Mystery" weekends; solve the mystery first, and you win a free stay!
