The food is amazing and you can now order takeaway through UberEATS to enjoy back in the guest cottage. Delivery drivers have had trouble finding the guest cottage driveway in the past. We highly recommend picking up your meal at the restaurant if using UberEATS.

Just gorgeous. if you've never seen a covered bridge, even if you have, drop everything and go here. The bridge and the town of West Cornwall is a treat. The drive to the bridge isn't half bad either!

Nature is beautiful and all around... so are the bugs. Our frogs, toads, bats and dragonflies can only do so much. Don't forget to pack insect repellent.
Manieren om te besparen

While the guest cottage doesn't have a kitchen, there is a minibar fridge and Microwave. Swing by the Bantam Market to stock up on yogurts for breakfast and craft beer for an evening nightcap and lower your restaurant expenses.

The covered bridge all New England towns wish they had. Charming town too. Check out Michael Trapp antiques if the shop is open.

Terrible cell phone service

Download Offline Google Maps for the area in advance. Many areas of Litchfield County have no cell service. It does however make it easier to unplug and unwind!
