The Fountain Inn - Living area

The Fountain Inn

(3 reviews)

Beautiful B&B with a very friendly inn keeper. All the rooms are beautiful and the location on Main…read moreStreet is one of the many lovely large estates lining the street. 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.

Granted, I haven't been to many colonial museums, but I thought this one was extraordinary. Had the…read moremost wonderful tour with the curator, Catherine, who knows her stuff inside and out. One of the coolest elements is the British cannonball still lodged in the original exterior. I had seen a man the night before go over and pull off a shingle and wondered what he was doing, but he put it right back. I got the big reveal on my tour and that is definitely something you don't see every day. What a fascinating history this whole place has. As the descendant of one of the town's founders, I will forever treasure knowing that generations of my family had stood within the walls of that building, since it served as the post office and tavern. The upstairs area with the lifting room dividers was so cool--never seen anything like it. Also gaining insight into how different generations traveled was fascinating.

All museums should be like the Keeler! Having been to many small museums, I frankly was not…read moreexpecting much. But I was blown away! Love the incorporation of different perspectives of Ramapo, African Americans and women.  John was the best tour guide ever! He was animated and made us appreciate the history more with his story telling and props. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Kudos! Highly recommend this Museum and tour. Thought provoking and made me curious, which is what one hopes for in a museum. Make reservations for the tour online, as they are small capacity. Garden is pretty and used for weddings. Kids will find it interesting.

ACT of Connecticut - ALMOST FAMOUS - 2025

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.

Watched the play "working" in March 2019. The actors were all great, the theatre itself is large…read moreand roomy and not a bad seat in the house. 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. The only problem was the play itself very boring, the video highlights were the best part and very well done. There just wasn't any story at all, fortunately only 80 minutes so I got thru it. Would certainly return for a different play.

My daughter just had her wedding at Le Chateau. To say it was a beautiful, impeccable…read more wedding is an understatement. We've received rave reviews from our guests saying everything from it was the most elegant wedding to praising the food and service. The venue and staff was way beyond our expectations. Having worked in the wedding business most of my life I've been to hundreds of weddings. My father was a wedding photographer and I was a wedding planner at a venue. In all that time I cannot remember having such a perfect experience. Sarah, Claudia, Debbie, Tori and there staff were the loveliest people I've ever worked with. The food was like going to a 5 star restaurant. When we visited the venue I thought it was very pretty but lit up at night it was exquisite. Dreams do come true.

I attended my friend's wedding here this weekend. In addition to the fact that the property is…read morestunningly beautiful & huge. The food was impressive especially the appetizers and desserts. The bathroom was spotless and the venue was perfectly decorated for the holidays. More than anything, the staff was incredibly attentive, not just to the bride and groom, but to the guests. At the end of the reception, my friends and I couldn't get an Uber or a cab to go back to the hotel. The staff was genuinely concerned and helpful. We finally found an uber to come to pick us up but it was more than anything hour, staff were so kind and patient. Really impressive.

I had a terrible experience at the Factory Underground Open Mic. What was advertised as a "free,"…read moresupportive community event turned out to be an exhausting, $15, 4-hour ordeal. The overall vibes were messy and horrible. Between a rowdy, disrespectful crowd, incompetent management, and bad sets dragging on for way too long, the energy was completely wrong. The tone was set right at the beginning when the host introducing the show admitted she had no idea what food the venue was serving, which was a perfect preview of how disorganized the night would be. First, the hidden costs were very disappointing. This event is advertised as "free" with "paid parking available." I traveled all the way to the venue with my instrument, only to be surprised with a mandatory and very expensive $15 flat-rate parking charge. This feels highly misleading and is an exorbitant amount to pay for parking that no attendee going to a "free" event would have anticipated. I would have been happy to pay that amount if it were an upfront admission ticket instead of an unexpected, mandatory parking toll. The physical setup of the venue made things even worse. The seating layout consists of tables and couches scattered around inconsistently, making the room incredibly awkward and cramped. Because it is so poorly laid out, a large portion of the audience was forced to stand blocking the entrance the entire night. The time management was also incredibly unfair. The event advertised 6-minute slots, which management honored to performers for the first half of the show. However, once they reached the second half, they abruptly cut our slots down to 3 minutes. What made it worse was that even after enforcing this 3-minute restriction on us, management still allowed select performers to go overtime and completely disregard the rules. They let certain acts, including ones the audience clearly disliked, drag on for over 5 minutes without cutting them off. They also showed clear favoritism to students who take paid classes there, letting them combine their sets to hog the stage for 20 minutes. This inherently defeats the purpose of an open mic, makes the audience restless, and prevents different voices from shining. Allowing these specific acts to run significantly over schedule directly penalized the artists left at the end of the night, pushing the entire event way past its intended end time. Because management refused to enforce the rules, the show ran late and 90% of the audience left. I waited over three hours and paid over $15 just to play a single 3-minute song to an empty, exhausted room. To top it off, when people were actually there, the crowd was loud and disruptive. Audience members were loudly taking phone calls and talking over performances while management did absolutely nothing to maintain basic etiquette. I left feeling disappointed, exhausted, and completely unappreciated as an artist. If you are looking for a welcoming and well-run open mic, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Furthermore, seeing how unprofessionally this event was managed makes it hard to recommend the business as a whole. If they cannot handle basic scheduling or treat outside artists fairly, it calls into question the quality of their paid music lessons and recording services. I suggest saving your time and money and finding a venue that actually values musicians.
