"Sophisticated warmth" The New York Times

Recommended by The New York Times, Yankee Magazine and AAA Car & Driver, Chickadee Cottage is tucked away on four gorgeous acres in the northeast corner of Connecticut's "Quiet Corner," bordered by state walking trails, permanently open land and a tranquil pond.

Convenient to Hartford, Providence, Brimfield and Worcester, the Carriage House and our NEW accommodation, "Lower Nest" are available for rent as a B&B accommodation or by the week or month. They are ideal as a corporate or short-term furnished rental. Each spacious hideaway has a private entrance, queen size bed, corner kitchen (fully equipped), full bath with shower, sitting area and gas-log woodstove. The Carriage House also has a spacious deck, while Lower Nest (with pull-out sofa) can accommodate up to 4 people.

Putnam, New England's center for antiques, is just five miles down the road. An award-winning winery, fine dining, Scenic Route 169, and antiquing are all within minutes of the Carriage House. The 30-mile Airline Rail Trail is adjacent to the Carriage House and is ideal for walking, trail running, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. Aptly described by The New York Times as "classic New England without traffic or kitsch," the Quiet Corner is within easy reach of New York City (3 hours), Boston (1.25 hours) and Hartford (45 minutes).

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it."

While staying at Chickadee Cottage, Editor Chris King of AAA Car & Travel wrote an article "Footloose in Pomfret," in which he remarked that "[Pomfret] in Connecticut's Quiet Corner is home to footpaths, farm wines and fine dining."
