Description: For a romantic retreat with a gourmet twist, look no further than the Red Maple Inn. This award-winning colonial-era estate has gourmet dine-and-stay packages with multicourse themed menus and wine pairings and also offers a monthly in-house cooking class. Each of the 6 rooms is Victorian pretty with period antique furniture, luxurious bedding, and modern conveniences like free Wi-Fi. Breakfasts are sophisticated, featuring blueberry cream cheese–stuffed french toast or spinach frittata—perfect fuel for a day of antiquing at nearby Brimfield.
