New Chef & Fall Excursions at Richard Gere's Bedford Post Inn

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Celebrity Design

The Bedford Post Inn, actor Richard Gere's perfectly restored eighteenth-century country inn (above) located an hour outside New York City near the actor's Westchester estate, has a new chef and some special offers to welcome the fall season. Situated on 14 acres, the bucolic property is home to an exquisite eight-room luxury inn featuring marble baths, fireplaces and Frette linens, two restaurants and a yoga studio. Gere and wife Carey Lowell recently hired Jeremy MacMillan, formerly of A Voce Columbus and A Voce Madison in Manhattan, as the new chef at the Inn, where he will emphasize high-quality seasonal local ingredients at both its restaurants.

MacMillan will offer classic seasonal country cuisine at The Barn, the more casual of the Inn's two eateries, and hearty Mediterranean-influenced American fare at The Farmhouse. To celebrate the season the Inn is offering a number of different packages combining overnight stays with various dining options and yoga instruction, with rates ranging from $295 per night for a basic bed and breakfast experience to $630 per night for the Inn's King Deluxe room with a terrace, breakfast at The Barn, the Chef's Tasting Menu at the Farmhouse and a yoga class for two guests.

It's a wonderful time of year to head to Vermont and the Woodstock Inn is one of the most charming spots for a getaway, especially if you've got a hankering for small-town New England adorable. This large inn of 142 rooms on the Village Green in Woodstock offers nearby golfing, tennis and hiking. A two-night package that includes breakfast both mornings, dinner one evening, a bottle of champagne in your room and a welcome cocktail starts at $763 per couple. Be warned though, the reviews from Trip Advisor seem to indicate that while some found it a charming experience others thought it wasn't worth the price.
