Tucked into your own private sanctuary, it’s hard to believe you’re just a few miles from downtown Guilford, Jacob’s beach, New Haven & Yale, the famous Bishop’s Orchards, Bill Miller’s Castle, and so much more. In the warmer months enjoy nearby lakes, Long Island Sound beaches, farms, pick your own fruit orchards, vineyards, craft breweries, hiking and biking trails. When the weather turns colder, explore the array of wonderful antique shops, historic homes, museums, spas, casinos and countless winter activities from ice skating, downhill and cross country skiing to snow-shoeing and ice skating. There’s even a nearby ropes course! All those activities can really work up an appetite, but don’t worry, from New Haven’s world famous pizza, to local hot buttered lobster rolls, you’ll never lack for delicious options.

Just an hour and half from NYC and a couple hours from Boston, the Connecticut shoreline has so much to offer; you can even get here by train! And when you’re ready for a respite, return to the Carriage House where you can forget the rest of the world exists.
