Chesterfield Inn

Chesterfield, New Hampshire
November 19, 2012
As we hurtle towards Thanksgiving, the Red Chair is holed up waiting for snow in Chesterfield New Hampshire, guest of the Chesterfield Inn.  What a great spot to getaway from it all, hike the white mountains, discover a covered bridge, cozy up by the warm fire... all within close driving distance to the shops and fun of Brattleboro or Keene.  Now I am really getting jealous of that damn chair!

Grafton Inn

November 12 - 15, 2012
Grafton, VT. 
The Grafton Inn had the pleasure of hosting the Red Chair from November 12 – 15. For those who have not yet visited, the Grafton Inn is one of the nation’s oldest operating inns, having been in business since 1801. With 45 rooms, the inn welcomes couples, families and is a wonderful location for Vermont country weddings and reunions. It is located in the heart of historic Grafton Village, known for it's delicious local cheese.

Rosewood Country Inn

November 11, 2012
Bradford, NH
Imagine a quiet, romantic getaway at the Rosewood Country Inn immersed as the Red Chair was this week in a tranquil, no distractions stay in the country....no cell phones...just peace and country-quiet.  Enjoy the sounds of birds chirping, the rustle of fallen leaves, or the somber quiet of new-fallen snow. Disconnect from the outside world and remember what life is suppose to be like in remote and beautiful Bradford, NH.

Colby Hill Inn
November 10, 2012
Henniker, NH

Life in New Hampshire is filled with incredible foliage, rushing rivers and beautiful covered bridges...and the Red Chair enjoyed several days of relaxation and fine dining at the Colby Hill Inn near Concord, New Hampshire. 

With the weather a little iffy, the Red Chair enjoyed days by the fire, while innkeepers Cyndi and Mason watched the forecast hoping for the first blanket of snow...and shared with the Red Chair some of the stunning river views that this area is famous for.

Swift House

November 6, 2012
Middlebury, VT.
Election Day was spent in Vermont, as a guest of the Swift House Inn, a wonderful respite in Middlebury, Vermont  Formerly the Governor's Mansion, this unique house has wonderful mountain views, and is a short drive into the hustle bustle of Middlebury College.  What a great place for the Red Chair to contemplate our Democracy!

West Hill House

October 31 - November 2, 2012
Warren, VT
In the shadow of Sugarbush, and the heart of the Mad River Valley, this is the time that one starts to sniff the air for snow, hoping and praying that ski season will come as it always does, and with it  seeing your breath in the morning and the joy of long runs down the mountain on fresh powder.  The Red Chair was lucky enough to tour the mountain before the crowds arrived, and enjoyed a few relaxing days at the West Hill House, a wonderful mountain B&B.

Inn at Round Barn Farm

October 28, 2012
Waitsfield, VT.
Life in the Mad River Valley is dominated by skiing at Sugarbush and Stowe, which this distinctive Inn at Round Barn Farm is close to, but in late autumn before the snow falls, this is the perfect spot to appreciate the turning leaves, take long walks in the mountains, and pause to contemplate life at the edge of a rushing stream.  The Red Chair enjoyed this special spot!

Adair Country Inn

October 20 - 24, 2012
Bethlehem, NH
The Red Chair re-united with a its' red-chair family in a lovely stay at the Adair Country Inn. 

Views from the breakfast area out over the White Mountains, and easy access to snowshoeing, skiing and dog-sledding, the Adair Country Inn is known for excellent food and warm hospitality.  Follow in the footsteps of the famous Red Chair, and live in style.

Mountainview Inn

October 16 - 20, 2012
Norfolk, CT...
A lovely town in the hills of western Connecticut, home to the Yale School of Music summer program.  What better place to retreat to in the warm days of summer than a spot where the hills are alive not only with the sound of music but also of the vibrant green sugar maples that turn so glorious in the fall weather.  The Red Chair was lucky to experience Norfolk and the Mountainview Inn in the fall, when the town square is at its' most charming.
Picture

Tidewater Inn

October 9 - 11, 2012
Life on the Connecticut River slows down to the pace of pure relaxation, and the Red Chair spent four glorious days here on the Connecticut coast enjoying river ferries, magical gardens, trolley tours and tours of local museums like the Florence Griswold which boasts one of the best collections in New England.  As the leaves start to turn even in this southern New England location, there is plenty of beauty to behold while visiting the Tidewater Inn!

Fitch Claremont House

October, 2012...
Imagine falling asleep to the sound of crickets among the grapes growing just outside the back doorstep...or joining innkeepers Warren and Nora of the Fitch Claremont House in Bozrah, CT.  for a tour of the four acres of vineyard surrounding their property plus a tasting of one of Warren's award-winning Reislings.  The Red Chair enjoyed several cool fall days in this wonderful location, and looks forward to returning one day!

Inn at Harbor Hill Marina

September 22...
Life on the edge of Long Island Sound is sweet indeed, and staying at the Inn at Harbor Hill in Niantic, CT guarantees that you will experience the very best of it!  Looking out over an inlet marina, with the ocean front beach in the distance and the fun of Mystic just up the road, Sue and Dave Labrie are so welcoming you will feel like you are visiting best friends.  The Red Chair lived the high life here for a few wonderful days in late September, meeting belugas and being interviewed by NECN.  A memorable stop indeed.
