However, we left in the…read moremiddle of our stay because the house smelled like mold and there was a large gap between our room door and the floor, which meant no sound isolation between rooms. We were traveling with a newborn baby, so the mold was a big deal for us and felt like a safety concern. The hosts were kind enough to refund part of our trip. This house is highly rated on Yelp and other hotel websites, but I think the rating is for the personality and hospitality of the hosts, not the quality of the accommodations. It's great if you want to feel like a guest in someone's house, but not if you want to stay in a nice place. I recommend Airbnb if you want the "house feel," or you could just book a hotel (which is what we ended up doing).

Hope I can return again soon.

If we hadn't already paid for it we would have left the first day. No house keeping, therefore, bed was never made up, garbage pail was overflowing, and had to find the closet for fresh towels. Was supposed to be someone there to help us with our luggage getting upstairs, we got the "landscaper" to help us with the luggage. The outside looks abandoned, weeds growing up higher than the pants. Not sure who wrote the good reviews but I would stay away from this place like the plague.

The house is clean, the land is cared for, and it was very toddler friendly/accommodating. There are goats, chicken, produce, flowers, and so much more to just relax here and enjoy the air. The stars are beautiful at night as well. The house is has a lot of history and charm. It is difficult to turn out of the driveway in the busy road where others are going fast and the bushes block some visibility of oncoming cars. Highly recommend this B&B!

To top off the experience in this 1723 house we were treated to a tour by the fascinating owner who has traveled the world and shares her finds with her guests. The other hostess was as welcoming as could be and served us such tasty treats. The house is on a farm of goats and free range chickens, quintessential Colonial New England. Put this on your bucket list, you won't be disappointed.

We stayed in the Stafford Suite circa 1778, which was an entire suite. (King bed, kitchen with all necessities, bathroom, cozy livingroom filled with games and so on...). I was in the area visiting UConn for the weekend so this was perfect; about 25 mins away. I had two issues with this stay and I will advise if you have ASTHMA or are an extreme ALLERGENIC person this may not be the right place for you. I struggled!!! 1) there's no heat in any rooms. There's individuals small Honeywell heaters in the bedroom and livingroom which take a lifetime to heat up the rooms. The bathroom does have its own heater. I tried leaving the heater on on low during the day while I left so when I came back I could be comfortable but it was turned off when I came back, I'm assuming the owner went there during the day. Since it's the room is technically under the room floors it's colder plus it's October fall in New England, it's generally cold here. 2) the mildew smell in there is very intense. We had to come home and wash everything. The smell was even trapped in my hair, it stunk badly. In order for them to mask the smell, everything is perfumed heavily. The sheets in the bed are heavily scented with whatever it is they use. If you are an ASTHMATIC or just a Plain ALLERGEN individual this May be a major issue for you. I know it was for me. After laying down for a few minutes, i started coughing, my chest hurt, and then shortly after I went into a full blown asthma attack. We then switched pillows from the couch to the bed and I also threw the blanket that was on the couch of the sheets on the bed and that's how I was able to sleep for the days we were there. Thankfully the couch items were not scented. Please be ware! Don't want anyone to suffer the same. Otherwise the place is beautiful, cozy, romantic if your if your looking for that setting and quiet. Can't speak in regards to food ( I ate out).

We had an absolutely incredible stay at An Innkeeper's Place. My family (two adults and two kids,…read moreaged 5 and 2) stayed in the Stafford Suite, which is an absolutely GORGEOUS one bedroom suite with a living area, kitchen with island, and a spacious bathroom. The fixtures were beautiful, the towels were so soft, and there were lots of lovely extras in all of the rooms (white noise machine! lavender bath salts!) The rooms were immaculate and the beds were incredibly comfortable (we typically stay at high-end hotels, and I expect to be a little disappointed in beds when staying at smaller places - not the case here!). I say beds because Danele pulled out the sofa for my son, and I wound up sleeping on it for part of the night - remarkably comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed if we wanted to cook (we didn't!), including freshly ground (that day!) coffee, and Danele's breakfasts were delicious. When we had a splinter emergency with my youngest, Danele was able to help out with first aid supplies and kid-friendly band-aids. She saved the day! I can't say enough good things about this place. It exceeded my expectations in every way. We are looking forward to coming back again.

All the rooms are extra spacious. There is actually enough bedding for 9 people. We had a whole house to ourselves! Plenty of parking! All rooms, including bedding, sofas and bathrooms were super clean. The home smelled great when we walked in and there were fresh muffins waiting for us. The contemporary deco was fun while still providing a home away from home feel. The owners have a restaurant named Memo's across the street. We had a fabulous breakfast at Memo's at very reasonable prices. I had mentioned to the owner Christine that it had been my son's birthday the night while we were checking in. The next morning while we had breakfast at Memo's without being asked the owner and restaurant staff surprised my son with a chocolate muffin and candle and a birthday song. It was nice of her to remember and It made the start of his birthday getaway weekend very special. Christine was super attentive to our needs and answered any questions we had as 1st timers there. Lily's Lodge was just 10 minutes from 6 Flags and is right across the street from the annual Big E entrance. While staying at Lily's Lodge it felt like were were truly away yet still had very easy access to the main road which makes it convenient for quick trips to grab last minute items you may have forgotten to pack or just to do some shopping. We look forward to being future guests at Lily's Lodge again. It was a delightful find! Thanks Christine for your hospitality!

I look forward to visiting again.
