The Inn at Knife Shop Falls - A Historic Waterfront Getaway

Calling all history buffs and nature lovers! Relax and recharge in this beautiful WATERFRONT 190-year-old piece of Connecticut history. Hiking, fishing, boating all from the backyard or within walking distance. Cool off in the summer by spending a day swimming at Nystroms Pond. Ice fishing, ice skating, sledding and cross-country skiing in the winter. Relax in the cozy living room, dine at a nearby fine restaurant or enjoy a home cooked meal in our farmhouse kitchen.
Truely a location for all seasons!

The space
Historic 3-bedroom house with second floor large master bedroom (with en suite home office), 2 smaller bedrooms with waterfall views and a spacious full bath. Main floor includes living room / dining room combo, farmhouse kitchen and half bath. French doors lead out to back deck and spacious yard that touches Northfield Pond and Knife Shop Falls. Screened sunroom off of the kitchen allows for enjoyable morning coffee and evening drinks, meals, teatime and more spent outside.
Perfect for families or couples and friends.
Guest access
A car is required to get most places. We allow up to 3 cars per reservation.
Other things to note
We love parties but DO NOT allow them on the property.
Black bears, coyotes, fox and bobcats are common in the area so NEVER leave food outside overnight or garbage outside of the pails. We recommend that if you go hiking in the area you bring a loud whistle or bell as most animals are scared off by noise.

Lovely location

We stayed at this home while visiting nearby family. The setting is just gorgeous, views of the pond, coffee on the deck- with the sound of the spillway- great way to start the day. The house is very comfortable, just what we needed.
