Historic CT Bed and Breakfast

An Award-winning Connecticut Luxury Inn

An elegant Connecticut bed and breakfast offering luxurious accommodations & gracious hospitality in a quaint riverfront village, just two hours from New York City and Boston and a short stroll from Goodspeed Musicals and Restaurants.

An exquisite example of Second Empire architecture built 1860, with beautifully appointed air-conditioned rooms with plush down duvets, fine linens, period antiques, oriental rugs, heated marble bathroom floors. It is a home away from home. Connecticut bed and breakfasts are a great alternative to hotels.

At this Connecticut Inn you can relax and enjoy the luxurious guest rooms. But don’t just take our word for it as the Inn’s guests have awarded it with a 5-star rating.

In addition to the old-world charm, all accommodations are complemented by modern conveniences. Enjoy air condition, fast wi-fi, discreetly placed flat screen HDTVs with cable, heated bathroom floors and heated towel racks.

We have tried to maintain the intimacy and privacy true to its original role as a private residence. One of the many charms is its small size and intimate environment, making it perfect for romantic getaways in Connecticut.

Nestled within a historic district, in one of the country’s most beautiful areas close to quaint towns like Old Saybrook, Mystic and Essex CT.

The area is a destination for all seasons. You will find big-city sophistication combined with the enchantment of the rural Connecticut with its centuries of history and culture.

Home to spectacular scenery, the area is considered by many to be a shining gem in the Connecticut shoreline and the Nature Conservancy has designated the lower Connecticut River Valley as one of the 40 “last great places on earth”.

Thank you for visiting us. We hope to see you very soon.
