A favorite of Robert Frost, this former stagecoach stop 5 miles southeast of Middlebury has a wood-paneled restaurant and sumptuous guest rooms. The inn's exterior was featured in the 1980s TV show Newhart (though Bob's never actually been here). Laze away a summer afternoon in the nearby swimming hole or warm yourself in the pub on a wintry evening.
