Inn at Round Barn Farm
COST: $
Thoughtfully converted from a 19th-century farmhouse and horse barn, this romantic inn sits on 245 bucolic acres in Vermont's Mad River Valley. The property's centerpiece—a Shaker-style round dairy barn built in 1910—is one of only five barns of its kind remaining in the state; beneath this piece of history is a 60-foot lap pool. Innkeepers Ann Marie DeFreest and Tim Piper tend to every detail, from candlelit dinners with ingredients from the inn's certified organic greenhouse-garden to always-stoked fires; there's also an antique pool table, well-stocked library, and plenty of freshly baked cookies for the taking. All 12 comfortable rooms have mountain and meadow views. During winter, guests can ski at nearby Sugarbush Mountain. <p><strong>Insider Tip:</strong> Book one of the inn's special snowshoe dinners; trek to a cozy cabin in the woods for a gourmet meal by a fieldstone fireplace and return to your room guided only by the moonlight.</p> <p><strong>Coziest Room to Book:</strong> Tucked under wooden eaves, the Richardson Room comes with generous sitting area, whirlpool tub, fireplace, and skylight—you can gaze at the stars from the king-size bed.</p>
