Copper Beech Inn

Despite comparisons with the Griswold Inn in nearby Essex, these are two very different places. Where the Gris is decidedly populist and perennially busy, the stately Copper Beech has much less traffic, and not a single figurative hair out of place. The rooms in the 19th-century main building are replete with character and plenty of antiques, while those in the converted barn Carriage House are spacious, with TVs, Jacuzzis, and decks (the website has room-by-room descriptions and photos). The Copper Beech was already the home to one of the most honored restaurants in the region, but the current owners have raised the stakes even higher. Main courses run $28 to $42. The wine list, with over 500 selections and 4,000 bottles, is impressive, and service is seamless.
