It was perfect for walking to Ye Burying Yard since that has nowhere to park. Enjoyed my room with the dial-on fireplace, the heated towel rack, and great water pressure. The room was spacious, and well appointed. Loved the four poster bed in the Dogwood suite, and bed was comfy. Also loved that I was next door to the Keeler Tavern Museum. Loved getting to look at a place my ancestors had visited. Beautiful property. Breakfast was small but nice: small quiche, small selection of pastries, coffee/ tea, some cheeses. The personalized pin key entry worked well. Hope to be back at some point. Loved it.

The Fountain Inn is an atrocity, and I would only stay there if I was snooty and pretensions…read more We checked in at 1pm and Morgan gave us a tour. The house was warm and she had most of the windows open to "get fresh air in." It turns out the air conditioning can't keep up but never mind that. We were there for my brother's wedding being held right next door. At 4:30pm we were literally sitting in the front row waiting for wedding to start - we are talking at any second, not minute, any second it was to start - I see my brother motion to me to come to him. He then tells me that we were being kicked out of the precious Fountain Inn because we had a 3-year-old. Not knowing when I paid for the overpriced $482 room that they didn't allow kids under 12 is certainly on me. However, Morgan should have said something immediately and not waited 3 1/2 hours and wait for moment the wedding was about to start to throw us all to the street (my 85-year-old was with us to boot). Morgan claims there was a complaint, however there was just one other couple staying there and they left for lunch as we were coming in. Within an hour, most of the wedding party was in the self-important Fountain Inn, and you can't tell me there was some mystery complaint over a 3-year-old when 12 to 15 people were getting ready for a wedding. I'm sorry, but Morgan is a liar. The wedding wound up being delayed because Morgan chooses that time to throw us all out on the street. We had to gather our things and move to another place. To enhance Morgan's rude and grossly ill-timed eviction, she had to send me a "As per our conversation" text message - again right as the wedding trying to start. The Fountain Inn is run by completely unprofessional staff and grossly overpriced for antiquated accommodation. There are too many far better options in the area to stay here.

South Salem Winery is AMAZING!! John Vollo, the owner and master wine maker is extremely friendly…read moreand so knowledgeable about his wines.

The wine tasting and dessert wines were incredible. Thanks John and best of luck with your new establishment.

Excellent acoustics and high-end electronic equipment help the speakers and performers give their best.

It was followed by a marvelous chamber music concert featuring a collection mostly contemporary works influenced by a connection with nature.

It wasn't super busy when I went, but would suggest getting a free ticket online in advance just in case.

A club where all ages of families can gather to play, dine and socialize, either on their own, or with friends. The 2019 club house renovation has updated the club look and added a fire pit to everyone's delight. The members are low key, friendly and family oriented. The staff is always on hand to help and the chef is better than any local restaurant. Having a family sponsor you is preferred, but also not necessary. The club manager, Karl, is available to answer any questions about possible membership options. We have been members for over 15 years and still love it!

The entrance is a little misleading as there is just a sign outside that says "RIDGEFIELD" - nothing advertising that it's a country club except for a small sign on the gate that says "Members Only". We chanced it and luckily had the correct entrance. The golf course was expansive and well-attended. We also drove by the pool area, which was packed with families. The club house is a little dated but not in disrepair. It's the television-world idea of a Connecticut country club. I could have used a little more hardwood and a little less carpeting, but it works for them. Our shower was out on the back porch. It was a little narrow to have those huge round tables, but, again, it worked - clearly this is something they've done before and they know how to set things up with a good flow. The staff were all friendly and very attentive to our needs. I can't speak of the mimosas, but I had a bellini and was very impressed; it's not often you find someone making bulk-mixed drinks with a good balance. The caprese salad was done very well although I always want more tomatoes. I had the salmon with mixed greens and it was gorgeous. Not too much seasoning or salad dressing, and it was cooked to perfection. We finished off with a white cake with fruit inside (not sure if it was from here or brought in) but it was also very good. All in all, it was a lovey visit. I wouldn't stop by just for giggles since it's a good hour and a half drive for me, but it's a great view if you can make it.

Each show has been great! Of course I have my favorites. But essentially you're getting to see Broadway shows in Ridgefield. They have a snack bar where you can get soda and alcoholic beverages. And also munchies. I however use the time to chat with my friends. So after you pass the snack bar, you can enter the theater. The seats are wonderful. Close enough to the stage that you can see everything at once. There is intermission halfway through. Most of us either visit the restrooms or get more refreshments. Once it's over, it's a quick exit to the parking lot. If you chat for more than 15 minutes afterwards, you'll be alone in the parking lot, lol We have season tickets each year. This means we book our seats early. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.

A lot of drinks you can purchase, I had a local beer from nod hill on tap and it was great. The sound system was clear and just right I could hear every line.

Would certainly return for a different play.

In Ridgefield Ct. a beautiful estate hosts the community's events. Known better as the Lounsbury House, this beautifully preserved property is the place to have your wedding or event. Originally named Grove Lawn, the Lounsbury House at 316 Main St., was built in 1896 by a former Connecticut governor, Phineas Lounsbury, who was born and raised in Ridgefield. While he attended the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, also known as the Columbian Exposition, he saw a replica of the Connecticut State Building on display. He commissioned the original Bridgeport architect to build a replica of the Connecticut State Building, so that upon his retirement from politics, he would have it to serve as his residence in Ridgefield. The Georgian Revival house exhibits the elegance and style he wanted to reflect Connecticut's hospitality. Lounsbury and his wife Jenny lived and entertained their friends at the house until his death in 1920. Since they did not have any children, the house was passed onto their heirs. Eventually, the house was purchased by the Town of Ridgefield. In 1953, it became the Ridgefield Veterans Memorial Community Center. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the Lounsbury House is a non-profit association and proceeds from its fund-raisers, membership fees and rentals go towards the preservation, maintenance and operational cost of the home. I was present for the Ridgefield "Gone Country" barbeque contest which raises funds for the local Rotary club. The association hosts house tours, concerts, luncheons, picnics, fireworks and more. The July 20, 2018 Lobster & Clambake featuring 1 1/2 lb Maine lobsters, steamers and muscles is not to be missed.
