Fodor's Review:

Debbie and Ken Traugot's yellow-and-pale-green 1853 Queen Anne house has gingerbread trim and is wrapped by a wide porch with wicker furniture and a glider swing. Named for the property's two magnificent and aged beech trees (one grand weeping, the other copper), the inn emphasizes its Victorian splendor. Although the parlor is pure mahogany-and-red-velvet Victorian, guest rooms (all with queen- or king-size beds) have antiques in lighter Victorian styles; several have fireplaces, and one has a bay view. Bathrooms have pedestal sinks and antique lighting fixtures. Breakfast is served in the dining room, which has a pressed-tin ceiling, a fireplace, and lace-covered tables. Afternoon tea and homemade snacks are also available. Pros: Exquisite lodging in historic Victorian, spacious rooms, choose from seven different beaches within a 5-mi radius. Cons: Most rooms accessed via narrow, curved stairs.
