Historic Landmark independent inns

Set along Route 12A in the quiet Connecticut River town of Cornish, The Chase House Inn is a bed and breakfast that doubles as a recognized historical landmark — the kind of place where the building itself is part of the reason to stay. With a perfect 5-star average across three dozen guest reviews, it suggests the sort of attentive, small-scale hospitality that rarely survives at scale. Expect rural New Hampshire stillness rather than resort bustle.
