Snow-time in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut, where the air is clear and fresh, and strolling through snowy woods is a magical experience. Stay at the Fitch House, an elegant and historic bed and breakfast inn where you will enjoy your spacious bedroom (one with a wood-burning fireplace) and our candlelit, gourmet breakfasts. Find romance at a dinner for two at the charming Altnaveigh Inn, one of the Quiet Corner’s newest and finest restaurants. During the day you may choose to hike or cross-country ski or snow shoe on the numerous local trails, one of which starts from the Fitch House. Or you may choose to drive the beautiful back-country roads to go antiques-shopping or tour a vineyard and wine-tasting room. Or you can choose a good book from our extensive library and read by the living room fireplace. As the sun goes down, enjoy afternoon tea with real English tea and hot cider and assorted goodies.

At the end of your stay, drive to a nearby Christmas Tree Farm, where you will walk up a hill with many ledges and great vistas, find the perfect tree and cut it down. You will be provided with a saw and wheelbarrow, and your tree will be “shaken and baled” for your ride home. Free tractor rides and cups of hot chocolate are offered as well.
