They also have a roadside egg stand in the summer. They are open by appointment and event only; check their website for details. There is a beautiful barn which could be rented for special events. The owners Amy and Steve were super nice and helpful. My family and I went on Black Friday to purchase a pre-cut tree for $80. Currently, their trees are just babies and growing. They had two types of pre-cut trees to choose from; there were a few to choose from but we found the perfect tree! They had a vendor onsite making spiked hot chocolate, espresso martini, and various others. The interior of the barn was cozy with plenty of seating. There were plenty of items you can purchase in there, such as soap, honey, ornaments, etc. We got to pet the animals on the farm right outside, my children loved it. They also hosts events such as candle and ornament making, to name a couple. Overall, a lovely place to visit for events, purchase a Christmas tree, and even pet some farm animals!

The building itself has no water, so I'm not sure about restroom or if they exist. The first floor has all this cute locally made stuff, and donuts and pies. Yum. The second floor has a bar right at the top of the stairs (I suspect when they're busy a line may form there) and there are roughly three rooms with different types of tables and chairs to sit in. It IS worth getting a drink with a donut. Just grab napkins for sugar spills. My drink had the face of a Halloween pumpkin, and even though I'm not a drinker, was sweet without being toothaching and fun to drink.

Definitely a Glastonbury community symbol... :) Lots of kids fishing on the dock/by the river. Playground on the premises & then the Glastonbury parks and rec manages the fields behind the clubhouse.

"I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up I'm gonna shake…read moreit up, gonna ball it up" (Little Richard) Guess what? When you're having carpeting ripped out of your house to get the wood floors below sanded and refinished, your house becomes unlivable for a few days. Too much sawdust and fumes, let alone the wet stain and polyurethane on the floor (you don't want to leave footprints, right?). So that's why we checked into the Avon Residence Inn for three nights. The hotel was built in 2004 and renovated in 2011. You'll find it on route 202/10 near a major Simsbury intersection with route 44. The rooms and common areas still look great, and the only signs of wear and tear we saw was on the outside painted brick walkways. Many areas had paint worn away, and some had some serious hunks of the bricks missing. We had a very comfortable room (WIFI worked great) - a big living room with am L-shaped sofa, TV, work desk, breakfast nook, a nice little kitchen with appliances and dishes, a good sized bedroom (2nd TV) and bath with one of the best hotel showers I've run across. Weird observation -our bathroom light had the loudest ceiling vent I've ever heard -a definite bummer for anyone else sleeping in the room. They have outdoor basketball hoops, a tennis court, an outdoor pool, and plenty of outdoor seating, plus a fire pit. The included breakfast was excellent - scrambled eggs, sausages, two kinds of breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, cereal, waffle machine, juices, whole fruit, breads/bagels, yogurt, peanut butter, etc. The only other things I would have liked to see were cut fruit or berries for cereal, single slices of bread, and a selection of pastries or danish. But don't misunderstand me, breakfast was great. The front desk staff during the daytime was very friendly and always had a smile or some chit-chat for us. The Residence Inn by Marriott Hartford Avon came in very handy for us and we enjoyed our stay.

Every employee we interacted with - at the coat check station, at the bar, at the food stations, and at the tables was polite and very professional.

My friends and I are a couple of 20 something year olds and we had a great time together shooting each other with arrows in the growing sport of "arrow dodgeball". Not only was this experience an hour and a half of fun filled brawling among friends, but it was also an educational experience of a less common game that gives a serious cardiovascular workout by the end of it. We even got an opportunity to mess around with a couple of their vast collection of nerf blasters, of which, there were dozens of different sizes, speeds, nerf bullet variants etc. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone looking to get out of the house and try something new, have a child's birthday party that would be impossible to forget or just need an excuse to pick up some bows or nerf guns and just unwind and feel like a kid again! *Side note, the guys that run Puddletown are actually in charge of many of the bar trivia events in CT. Bar Rated Trivia is something I've been doing for a couple years now, but like trivia, I expect puddletown to grow at an increasing rate among younger people and older people alike.*
