Pentagöet Inn

At the Pentagoet, "activities" consist of sitting on the wraparound front porch on cane-seated rockers watching the hum (though I hesitate to call it that) of Main Street. This quirky, yellow-and-green (ca. 1894) inn with the prominent turret is tasteful and sturdily built. The lobby features hardwood floors, oval braided rugs, and a woodstove; it's all comfortable without being prissy, professional without being chilly. Most units sport king-size beds with ornate headboards and lacy white coverlets -- some have claw-foot bathtubs and/or fireplaces, and one even includes a balcony with flowers. Rooms on the upper two floors of the main house are furnished eclectically in a mix of antiques and collectibles, while five units in the adjacent Perkins Street building (an austere, Federal-era house) are furnished more simply and show off painted wooden floors. The amazingly character-filled pub and delicious fare in the dining room are both excellent.
