It is a five-star, four-diamond rated inn which offers luxury suites and two garden studios and serves both breakfast and afternoon tea. The inn has received rave reviews on Trip Advisor but the listing says it can also be converted back to a private residence if you want it all to yourself.

It is listed at $2.995 Canadian.

The Village Latch Inn Up For Sale

If you'd like to join Richard Gere in the New York inn business here's your chance. As Newsday's Real LI reports the Village Latch Inn in Southampton just went on the market for $24.75 million. One family has owned the five-acre property for decades. The complex includes a number of outbuildings-- Terry House, the Potting Shed, Homestead East and Homestead West among others, which were originally a part of the adjacent Merrill Lynch estate. The grounds are also home to a Victorian greenhouse, private villas, a pool, tennis courts and more.

According to the listing there are 67 uniquely decorated rooms, some with fireplaces, balconies or decks. It's a Hamptons plum partly because pre-existing zoning conditions allow for a variety of possibilities including future development. Or you could just keep it all to yourself and create your own family compound.

It seems that nearly every residence of a certain age in New Orleans comes with reports of ghosts and the Lafitte Guest House is no exception. The Bourbon Street boutique hotel is a three-story guest house with 14 restored guest rooms with private baths. HauntedHouses.com says the house is home to several spirits including the ghost of a little girl who died of yellow fever.

What might be scarier however are the reviews the guest house has received on Trip Advisor lately which may be one reason that the charming property is up for sale. Some of the guest rooms have distressed brick walls and many have private balconies. It has a small courtyard and can host up to 50 people for weddings and other events. It is listed at $3.8 million.

Benbow Inn For Sale

Another beautiful California hotel has hit the market and this is one I've had the pleasure of visiting. Tucked along the 101 freeway in Humboldt County, the Benbow Inn is a surprising slice of English countryside amidst the redwoods. The Victorian style inn has 54 rooms and a cozy lobby with a fireplace perfect for spending Humboldt's sometimes rainy afternoons.

The inn has been in existence since 1926 and has its own exit on the 101 freeway. It has hosted politicians and old Hollywood according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. It has a timeless feel and situated as it is in such quiet environs, it's very easy to let the modern world slip away. In fact that may be part of the problem, the resort is located three-and-a-half hours from San Francisco, the next big city. You can fly into the Arcata airport in McKinleyville but that is located over an hour north and so the inn mainly appeals to those making their way along the 101 freeway on a journey elsewhere.

The Benbow Inn became the Benbow Hotel & Resort in 2004. There is a nine-hole golf course and an RV park located across the freeway from the hotel and connected by a walkway under the highway. The resort is listed for $13.25 million.

The luxury retreat is known for being an expensive (rates start around $400 a night) yet charming place to stay. You can continue the legacy for $12 million.
