We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner on the porch of the building next to the large silo. It was right before sunset, so we got to enjoy the gorgeous view of the land, trees, and lake while the August sun went down. There was a lovely breeze and we enjoyed our meal under twinkling string lights. There were tons of beautiful flowers blooming around the grounds, and we enjoyed lawn games on the rolling green grass. The next day, for the ceremony, we were located down by the lake. The ceremony took place on a lawn in front of a beautiful old tree, facing the water. Afterwards, we made our way into the old barn and enjoyed cocktail hour and the reception. The space was well designed and the whole experience was magical; candles and simple draperies. A beautiful breeze flowed through the venue as the rumble of thunder echoed in the distance. Despite the thunderstorm that passed through, we were safe and dry inside the barn. All in all, one of the most beautiful and magical wedding venues I've seen.

An old…read moreelementary school friend and I re-connected after many years and we decided we wanted to go away for a little weekend retreat to catch up. I stumbled along this place online and we were so happy I did! The innkeeper was very gracious and gave great recommendations on local restaurants and activities. It was September/October so we decided we wanted to take a "leaf peeping" drive and so we followed a map and some road signs for magnificent views of the New England fall foliage. We even went over a few covered bridges, that was a first for us! We did wine tastings at local nearby wineries, including Hopkins, which was our favorite. We bought some souvenir wine glasses and a bottle (or three) of wine and enjoyed it at Lake Waramaug -- the most beautiful autumn setting -- not far from home base at Constitution Oak. Bunnell Farm was nearby and they have a great corn maze. You can also stop for fresh produce, pickles and preserves at Freund Farm along the Leaf Peeping route. This B&B is in a great area with lots of local attractions nearby, including historic Litchfield. We stayed in a room upstairs and it was huge! There were 3 beds so we both had our own bed and then some. The bathroom was in the hallway but we were the only guests so it didn't matter. There was a nice dining room with pastries and coffee waiting for us in the morning and a cozy sitting room to unwind.

Housekeeping finally came by - only because we saw the manager in the housekeeping room although the front desk said they paged her twice. All she did was spray which helped for the moment. Luckily she was honest and said it was from the restaurant. The restaurant closed early for new years so the smell subsided. The next day, it was GROSS. Also, unsure why but both nights we were awake from 12am to 3am. The bathrooms are exceptionally small and the rugs need to be updated. The desk chair was pretty comfortable! The pool was heated the first day but felt cooler on the second. Towels were provided. Gym facility is amazing!

I am happy to say that I have just returned from a weekend girl's retreat with my best friend here. We were so happy with everything they offered. Our vineyard one room was just breathtaking.The room was clean, spacious, rustic ,and beautiful. Waking up to see the vineyard every morning was delightful. Our bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on besides my own bed. The bed sheets were everything. I ended up asking where I could buy the sheets from haha. I loved that our room was next to the wine bar . The wine bar was self serve and on an honor system . So you could get wine whenever you wanted and pay for it at check out. I typically don't like red wines, but their dessert wine was so amazing that, I bought two bottles. I found it so cool that they had their own vineyard with their own wines. Breakfast every morning was five stars. Dave is not only an amazing host but also such an amazing cook. He made the most incredible meals with the freshest ingredients. He used coffee grinds around pork tenderloin with chutney and I was just blown away. This meal is what he referred to a cedar version on steak and eggs! I could get used to eating breakfast like that everyday. The potatoes hash was pure genius. Also Dave gave great suggestions for dinner and for places to go hiking. Genuinely the sweetest and coolest guy ever. I just loved this bed and breakfast so much. Everyone was so friendly. I loved the fire pit outside. I loved the Keurig and biscotti.I loved the common area with the pool table, books, games, popcorn, Netflix etc. I loved the well kept grounds, and the vineyard was so beautiful. Thank you cedar house for the most epic retreat ever . I feel so recharged. I needed a zen weekend and that's exactly what I got. I met pretty cool down to earth people. I ate five star breakfasts. I drank amazing wine. Also enjoyed great music at the fire pit. They really just thought of everything there. All the small details doesn't go unnoticed.

As the summer was on its last legs and with a busy fall at work right around the corner, I wanted…read moreto get away. With a little luck, I managed to book a room for two nights during Labor Day weekend with only about a week's notice at the Botsford Briar. I found it on the internet, having never before been to Beacon, a little escape I had planned because of hiking, kayaking, the Dia: Beacon, the boat to tour Bannerman Castle, and Main Street were all within walking distance. I arrived quite early on Saturday via train and headed up to Main Street. I had a kayaking tour reservation and had planned to do that before checking in at Bostford Briar. However, when there was some miscommunication and the tour left without me, the folks at Mountain Top outdoor store called the proprietors of the Botsford Briar (yeah, it's that small of a town) to see if I could check in early. And all was well; they were happy to take me early. My room was ready and I headed over...and up the rather steep hill of High Street. Charlie met me halfway up the hill and insisted on taking my bag the rest of the way. The house is charming and looks just as it does on the website photo. Inside, it's filled with curiosities on the first floor. I met Shirley there too. Throughout my stay, she and Charlie were wonderful. They took the time to try to find an alternate kayaking solution for me, suggested restaurants, went to the trouble of having my breakfast ready quite early on my last morning there since I had to leave before the normal time, etc. I stayed in the Wisteria Room, which was lovely. The bed was comfy. There were a couple of chairs as well as a table with two dining chairs with bottles of water on a tray. In case it was needed, there was an AC unit. Lots of sunlight could come in through the generous windows (though you could pull curtains and shades too). Wifi was free. The TV wasn't a flat screen, but I didn't watch it so, who really cares? The room had wonderful charm and was clearly lovingly decorated. The bathroom was a private one down the hall. However, they've thoughtfully added a curtain one can pull to really make that whole wing private (so you don't feel odd walking to the bathroom in your pajamas; nobody can see you). I loved the claw foot tub and had a nice soak each night. It was a large bathroom with nice towels and was meticulously clean. I spent a good portion of both evenings watching the sunset on the beautiful shared deck out back. It's at the top of High Street and you can see down and across the Hudson River. It's beautiful and a wonderful quiet spot (or a place to chat with other guests, as I did the second evening). Also shared for the guests is a small room with a fridge, cupboard (thoughtfully stocked with glasses, wine glasses, corkscrews, etc.), and a single serving coffee maker for anything you wanted to make or store yourself. Breakfast was quite generous. There was one freshly baked (and still warm!) item each day along with other breads, a fantastic fruit plate, juice, and coffee. The only thing I would have added would have been a hard boiled egg or something so that I could get in a little protein. But with what was provided, I really wasn't lacking at all in nourishment. It's brought to your room at your chosen time on a tray. The location is great. It's easy walking distance to the train station, Dia: Beacon, boat launch, and Main Street. It's within walking distance of a trail head for hiking as well though you should know that it's a long hike in itself up Main Street to reach it. I'm so glad I came to Botsford Briar to get away. It's so clear how much love (and personal talent/handiwork) Charlie and Shirley have put into the place. And they really take pride in making it a wonderful retreat. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself back there again when weary of the city.
