Wells, Maine
A cluster of cottages set back from Post Road in Wells, each with a covered porch made for slow Maine mornings and the kind of evenings that end in a rocking chair. The gated grounds lean casual rather than polished, with pools and outdoor activities keeping the days loosely structured. Guests rate it 4.5 across 177 reviews — a quiet endorsement of the porch-and-pool formula.

Napa, California
Set on Atlas Peak Road at the edge of Napa, Silverado is a sprawling wine-country resort rather than an intimate inn — refined, polished rooms spread across grounds that hold multiple pools, golf courses and several dining rooms. With a 4.3 rating across nearly 3,000 reviews, it draws a steady crowd of golfers and Napa weekenders looking for a full-service base with plenty of room to roam.
