An upscale destination with accommodations for foodies & friends in the heart of historic Chester CT. Stay at this beautifully renovated historic Millhouse in charming downtown Chester. Enjoy strolling the streets loaded with shops, award winning restaurants, a microbrewery, art galleries, and more. All within a 1 minute walk. Our prime location is just 20 minutes to the CT shoreline and located in the heart of the CT River Valley. The Millhouse is next door to the Chester Historical Museum.
My husband Adam and I love to travel and stay at AirBnb’s. As foodies, our destinations always take us to locations with amazing places to eat. Chester Village is one of those small-town places that we have always loved to visit and are now excited that we have a small corner of that we can call our own. “Cute towns” are kinda “our thing” and when we are not out hiking we are exploring, usually looking for a great spot to eat after a long day on the trail. We both have art/design backgrounds and The Millhouse is the next phase in designing our perfect lifestyle.
"The best small town in Connecticut" (Connecticut Magazine) Chester Village boasts beautiful shops and critically acclaimed dining. In season, Main street shuts down for an amazing farmer's market on Sundays. Chester itself sits close to a number of recreational activities. There are great hiking trails not far from here but the best part is walking to town to grab breakfast at Simons, lunch at River Tavern and dinner at Grano's! The Connecticut River is just down the street and you can take the historic seasonal Chester-Hadlyme ferry across the river. "There are many reasons to visit this little slice of heaven in Connecticut. One thing is for sure, once you step into Chester, you will want to stay longer than you had planned." (Only In Your State) “Solitude when you need it, engagement when you want it. Walden Pond meets Broadway.” (Morley Safer, journalist / past resident) A bucolic town, pristine and quintessential New England. Pretty much year round this town is a destination place. This truly is one of those towns that makes Connecticut special. (Ann Nyberg's Network Connecticut)
