Overview
Built in 1769, this property was a popular hunting hub for British loyalists. Now, the Marriott-owned Equinox resort pampers guests with modern comforts while still preserving some of its Old World charm. You can still take lessons in shooting and falconry, plus enjoy such activities as mountain biking, tennis and golf. Most travelers compliment the small but plush rooms and suites (there are 195 total between the property's two main buildings). Many cite peace and quiet as a reason for a return visit, but some note that with the older building comes thin walls. Upscale amenities, such as 400-thread-count linens, flat-screen TVs and down pillows, made up for any extra noise, though. And if you're a Marriott Bonvoy program member, you can receive extra perks like complimentary stays by choosing to stay here. Recent visitors praised the fine dining at the resort's four restaurants, but several were less than impressed with the service staff.
