Weekapaug Inn

What the classifiers highlight

On Quonochontaug Pond, the inn traces to 1899 when Frederick and Phebe Buffum opened it, and keeps just 33 rooms decorated with claw-foot tubs and New England colonial touches down to lobster-claw bedspreads. Forbes rates it Five Stars and highlights an onsite naturalist team running everything from stargazing to power-boating, plus a beach butler on the private shore.
