Visit a Beautiful Historic Inn this Spring!

If you're looking for a spring getaway, why not check into one of these historic inns? Some beautiful old houses around the country have been renovated to their former glory and turned into an inn. Many boast antique furniture and period decor too. It's a great way to step into history and enjoy the antiques lifestyle!

Simpson House Inn in gorgeous Santa Barbara, California, is an old Victorian estate in an acre of English gardens. The guest rooms in this luxurious historic inn are scattered between the 1874 Victorian home and restored barn and garden cottages. The Victorian decor includes antique clawfoot tubs and antique beds - so romantic!

Tucked away in Natchez, Mississippi, you'll find the Monmouth Historic Inn. Natchez is 90 miles southwest of Jackson, MS, and it's actually the oldest city on the Mississippi River. The Monmouth Historic Inn was built in 1818 and the rooms boast period decor and antebellum-era antiques. You really are stepping back in time!

This hall in the Monmouth Historic Inn shows the detail in the period decor and antique furniture. No wonder it's a National Historic Landmark. If you can tear yourself away to explore outside the inn, you can wander around 26 landscaped acres.

The Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, New York, is a wonderful place for anyone who loves Arts and Crafts decor. The National Historic Landmark opened as an inn in 1905, as a hub for artists in the American Arts and Crafts Movement.

As you might expect, there is some lovely woodwork in the old inn. The library has an old stone fireplace and you can also see original Alexis Jean Fournier murals in the foyer.
