Rooster Tail Inn

Tucked away in the enchanting New England hamlet of Warren, Connecticut, is the elegant Rooster Tail Inn. Housed in a magnificent 1772 colonial structure - replete with pitched roof, an assembly of windows and pillared portico coated in a crisp white hue with ebony accents - the inn radiates warmth and hospitality. With just six suites sharing two floors, chambers feature individual appointments such as oversize beds, aged hardwood floors, spa-quality bathrooms with heated floors and chromotherapy tubs, body and rain showers, and a plethora of hi-tech gadgets placed discreetly throughout. Each visit includes a sumptuous morning meal as well as afternoon hors d'oeuvres.

A stay at the Rooster Tail Inn is comparable to being a weekend guest at an aristocrat's country estate. You will have full access to the cozy common room with its private library, gaming table and crackling fireplace. The Tavern Room, with its rustic flooring and pendent lighting, looks like a pub pulled from some lovely London borough. The intimate Dining Room contains circular and oval-shaped tables where you can dine with your significant other or break bread communally. Rooster Tail Inn also features a fitness room with free weights and exercise equipment, coupled with a luxurious steam room and sauna. When the weather is dreamy, loll atop a blanket on the banks of the Shepaug River, or picnic near the inn's pond. Rooster Tail Inn offers weary city slickers a rural and relaxing setting - but greater Litchfield County, with its antique and specialty shops, is just a short jaunt away.
