The Little Inn- Bayfield, ON
Located at the end of Bayfield's Main Street, The Little Inn has been welcoming visitors to the tiny lakeside town for over a century. Originally an 1850s era stagecoach stop, the inn later housed tourists who came to the area for fishing, swimming and boating.

Château Frontenac-Quebec City, QC
Château Frontenac is said to be the most photographed hotel in the world. This is absolutely believable, because it is impossibly photogenic, and definitely one of the most stunning hotels I have ever seen- a dreamy castle in the sky, perched over one of the most beautiful cities in North America.

Inn Buffalo off Elmwood
I recently stayed at a chain hotel, and it reminded me of all the reasons I usually avoid them. First and foremost, it was just so beige, and without a shred of character. The same cannot be said for the Inn Buffalo, which is a lovely amalgamation of architectural styles that all work well together.

Keswick Hall- Keswick, VA
I stayed at Keswick Hall years ago, and loved it. It was a little worn, but still charming. It also had the most beautiful infinity pool I had ever seen. After that short stay, I always planned to revisit. Well, I finally did, only to find it all much changed- including the impossibly perfect pool.

The Inn & Tavern at Meander- Locus Dale, VA
In the best possibly way, a stay at Meander feels like visiting an elderly relative, who lives on a grand old Southern estate. From the moment you turn into the drive, you enter another world. The vast property is perfect for exploring, with remnants of the past scattered about like Easter eggs, waiting to be discovered.
