The Roxbury, 2258 County Hwy 41, ☏ +1 607-326-7200. One of the most unusual lodging establishments in the state, The Roxbury is a cross between a bed-and-breakfast and the most eclectic hotel you can imagine. Like a B&B, you'll find that each room in the place is different, but The Roxbury takes "difference" to another level. Room decor has been inspired by old TV shows and movies, like The Flintstones, I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and The Sound of Music. And we're talking totally over-the-top decor. For example, Room #21, "The Wizard's Emeralds", has a yellow brick road running through it. Some rooms have kitchenettes; others have two-person soaking tubs; others are multi-story suites with multiple bedrooms. Whatever price point you choose, you're certain to stay in a room unlike any other you've visited. Property includes two small spa facilities (with treatment and relaxation rooms) and a multi-room cottage. From $120 in winter, and from $170 in summer. (updated Mar 2026)
