Right continent, but it's a fair old way from new England.  Clue: it's a hotel.

No, wrong state.  It does have a Arts & Entertainment reason for its fame though..

Pretty much, yes.  It's the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado - the Overlook was based on this after Mr & Mrs King had a spooky stay there.

I looked at Deano's photo and thought "Sugarloaf", tho we're told that's incorrect. Scottish, then - somewhere in The Pentlands?
What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

Aye, you're right, as you know.  There's a cheesy clue above: it's not just my dodgy typing.
