This area of Connecticut is also a place to visit vineyards and farmer's markets, or enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing.  Visit the nearby independent schools: Ethel Walker (3.6 miles), Avon Old Farms (2.2 miles) or Miss Porter's (6.6 miles).  Antique hunters can browse in many large and small shops, including Old Village Antiques, a short walk from our door.  Stay at a local Bed & Breakfast or Inn and make it a relaxing and special weekend.
