Families relax in this white-wooden clad Glen Allen B&B styled on George Washington’s former military headquarters in Newburgh, NY with its collection of five rooms and suites.

Go all out with the Jefferson Suite – complete with a fancy grand piano and a marble balcony overlooking historic Franklin Street. Previous guests include 13 presidents, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley – who had an extra scoop of ice cream on his breakfast plate. These days, most guests stick to eggs and applewood smoked bacon served with stone-ground grits, crispy potatoes, or fresh fruit.
