Full Breakfast independent inns

A 19th-century farmhouse on Wells' Post Road, restored with a light touch and given over to classic, unfussy rooms. Mornings bring a full breakfast; evenings, a hot tub waits outside. The 5-star average across 81 reviews suggests hosts who know exactly what a small New England B&B should feel like.

Set on a hillside above Arlington, this antiques-filled farmhouse leans into its Vermont roots — creaky-floored rooms, extensive gardens to wander, and a full breakfast each morning. Dinner is served on site, with a bar for the hours in between, and the grounds double as a favorite setting for weddings and gatherings. With a 4.9 rating across 225 reviews, it's the kind of place guests return to rather than merely pass through.

Tucked down Potato Branch Road in the hills outside Asheville, Wildberry Lodge trades polish for rustic-chic warmth — timber, texture, and a view of the Blue Ridge just beyond the porch rail. Mornings begin with a four-course breakfast included in the stay; afternoons can be spent on the property's own hiking trails or sweating it out in the sauna. The lodge also hosts weddings and events, which explains the near-perfect regard of its 154 reviewers.
