BEST HISTORIC VIBE
Spring Hill Inn, Storrs

​

Embrace the creak of old floorboards or fire up the noise-canceling machine—this inn, where lodgers have slumbered for centuries, is simultaneously modern and authentically colonial. In reviving this “UConn country” landmark and its restaurant, owners Diane and Lee Lambert have preserved details like wavy window glass and peg-joined timber columns. Four of the six guest rooms are in the c. 1734 section, but all have down comforters—so taking scratch-baked breakfast goodies back to bed is tempting. 860-477-1199
