The rooms are not fancy, but the matching curtains and wallpapers might remind you of a great-aunt's guest room. Kids are welcome here, and you can make arrangements to include a crib in your room. Older kids will have fun walking around town and finding the 1779 fire engine at the Blake House, a small historical museum with flexible hours. Pinnacle Mountain is just down the street from the inn, and Rhododendron State Park, with its outstanding flowers, is a five-minute drive. The building was remodeled and restored in 1995.
Dinner is served nightly.
The rooms are decorated with much of the original 19th-century furniture. If we had to pick one town to exemplify the New England postcard image of village green, town meeting house and village inn, it would be Hancock. Built in 1789, the inn has 11 guest rooms with private baths. All rooms have some original decorative details from the 1830s. Guests will appreciate the tea cozy-coverings on the televisions warning that removal will result in a fast return to the 20th century.
