We stayed at Avelonea owned by the Blue Dory Inn. It was beautiful in every way. Our room had a great view of the ocean. The Inn keeper was warm and welcoming. We checked in several hours early. We found a great place to eat lunch (Poor Mans Pub) and came back just in time to settle in. The Inn keeper made some great appetizers and fresh baked cookies. We sat by the fire and spoke with some very nice couples who were all return customers. After a few glasses of complimentary wine, we went for drinks at McGoverns and then to dinner at Eli's. All were within walking distance. I would highly recommend warm layers and walking shoes so you don't miss out on anything because of the cold. We went for long walks at the Northern lighthouse, Mohegan Bluffs and Mansion Beach. After doing a little shopping, we drove around the island and eventually watched the sunset off the edge of the island. We woke up early the next morning to watch the sun rise. The Inn keeper made an incredible breakfast: muffins, blueberry pancakes, bagles, various types of breads, cereals, hashbrowns, fresh fritatta.......We bundled up and sat on the porch. We were the onlly ones to brave the cold but it was well worth the soothing smells and sounds of the ocean. We can't wait to go back.

Absolutely fabulous Thanksgiving at Avonlea = Beautiful room, fabulous food: breakfasts, wine hour, and Thanksgiving dinner. Meeting up with good friends from previous years. Michelle is the perfect host. Can't wait til next year!!!!

We have been to the Avonlea many, many times. It remains our favorite place to stay on the Island. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast is is a great way to start the day on the Island, many choices and always fresh. The social time had with other guests is alot of fun. We've made many friends during breakfast and happy hour or just hanging out on the beautiful porch. Michelle is a sweet, caring Innkeeper! It's like coming home when we stay at the Avonlea.

This is the second time I've stayed at the Avonlea in the fall and it is just sublime. Fireside reading, AMAZING views, gorgeous rooms, a warm and generous staff and perfect location. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!
