America’s standout B&Bs offer personalized service, memorable meals and inspiring stories or settings that charm visitors time and time again. Some draw travelers with their gracious hospitality and thoughtful touches, while others wow guests with their spectacular views.
The Gastonian
Savannah, Ga.
The Gastonian — an elegant bed-and-breakfast perched in Savannah’s Historic District — sets itself apart from its Southern peers with graceful architecture and a unique sense of history. On the façades of two Regency-Italianate inspired mansions, you can still admire small cracks from an earthquake that rocked the area in the 1800s. History also pervades the Gastonian’s 17 guestrooms. Each pays tribute to a local Savannahian with a name like Mary Telfair or Flannery O’Connor. Begin your day with homemade muffins, lemon ricotta pancakes and smoked bacon or poached eggs with grilled tomatoes. If you’re still hankering for more gourmet goods, take advantage of afternoon hors d’oeuvres and evening desserts.
Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast
Eastham, Mass.
At this three-suite Greek Revival farmhouse in the historic Fort Hill area, guests are privy to sweeping views of Nauset Marsh, not to mention Cape Cod National Seashore’s rich array of wildlife. Innkeepers Gordon and Jean Avery ensure a memorable stay with breakfasts prepared with ingredients from the inn’s garden. After you fill up with tasty menu items like cheesy-chive egg soufflé and buttermilk-currant scones, you can laze on Coast Guard Beach, hike along Fort Hill’s scenic trails or check out nearby museums. Later, wind down in one of three cozy suites. The Emma and the Lucille suites are appointed with modern conveniences like cable TV and Wi-Fi access. The more spacious Nantucket cottage boasts its own fireplace, skylight, wrought iron bed and maple wood flooring.
