A relaxing stay at an elegant bed and breakfast is much more enjoyable than visiting a trendy bed-of-breakfast, with its messy scrambled-egg mattresses and uncomfortable biscuit pillows. Get away from it all with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a one-night stay at the Blue Horse Inn in Woodstock, Vermont (up to a $210 value). The Blue Horse Inn, a historic 19th-century building, offers the classic charm of a bygone era with a modern focus on personal relaxation. Each of the inn's 10 rooms boast a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and WiFi for ignoring work-related emails and searching for videos of Al Gore. Spend a sunny day swimming in the heated pool, or make a cozy retreat from frosty weather and enjoy the included wine by one of the inn's seven fireplaces. Close the day with a social cocktail hour, and open the next with a rise-and-shine inducing breakfast featuring local and seasonal fare. Four-legged and furry guests are welcome for an additional fee.

• Spend a weekend at The Blue Horse Inn and you might think you’re staying at a chic European country house…Gracious hospitality, impeccable service, and the gentle stamp of their personalities throughout the inn express the young owners’ unique vision. – Jill Gibson, Boston Globe
• The Inn is right in the heart of center of Woodstock, which made for a perfect home-base as we explored the beautiful countryside. The gracious Inn-Keeper even had some bikes available for us to use during our stay. – BCZM_OOB, TripAdvisor
