Getting out of the office and enjoying the fall foliage is a tradition in the New England states. The explosion of color is especially vivid in Connecticut and while pricing might be a bit high during the short autumn season, it is well worth it.
Litchfield Hills is home to the incredibly cozy boutique hotel, the Winvian. Situated on 113 acres, the rural setting offers incredible scenery along with peace and quiet. Each individual cottage has its own themed décor allowing guests to experience settings as esoteric as fairytale woodland to a modern helicopter interior. The Charter Oak cottage is designed around a live oak growing through the middle of the building, offering a green vacationing experience of a lifetime.
Guests can dine at the Winvian Restaurant or investigate local cafes. The Wandering Moose café serves a spectacular almond crusted trout. If you’re in the mood for something quite different, you can dine on barbequed duck legs at the Good News café.
Bring your hiking boots and trek the rolling hills or get in some quality fishing time. Bicycle trips are a popular way to view the wildlife in the area. Spa treatments are available after a day in the great outdoors. One last outdoor adventure may be just what you need to make it through the winter of 2009.
