WHAT TO EXPECT : More than just an accommodation, North Carolina’s Te Fearrington House Inn (suites from $350 per night, fearrington.com) is the anchor for an entire community. It’s a place to escape, with everything from cows and goats to “one wayward donkey,” as they cheekily tout, around the pastoral property. If you like it, you can stay: Tere’s a realty ofce that caters to the village, which 2,000 people call home.

WHAT TO EAT : The Fearrington House Restaurant is the only restaurant in North Carolina with chefs awarded Relais
& Châteaux Grand Chefs, churning out unique seasonal dishes with local ingredients. Be prepared to be surprised:
Items like a 62-degree egg with smoked hollandaise or green goddess risotto with avocado and Scamorza might appear.
