The first thing you'll notice is a covered porch lined with white columns, reminiscent of a classic New England inn. Inside, the fireplace lounge centers on a wall of stacked stone that rises to the timber beams, with tall windows looking out on the grounds. Pull up a leather armchair by the fire after a night out at Foxwoods. Come morning, take a scenic stroll on the trail that loops through the woods behind the inn.

Serenity and excitement, one street apart.

Every guestroom reflects the surrounding woodland, with blue accent walls, warm wood tones, and crisp bedding on pillowtop mattresses. Suites add a separate living area for entertaining or putting your feet up. Plus, dog-friendly rooms mean your four-legged family members can come along too, with a welcome treat waiting when they arrive. Swim and soak in the heated indoor pool and hot tub no matter the season, or work out in the fitness center. When you're ready to venture out, leave the car parked and take the complimentary shuttle around town.

Continental breakfast is on the house, with pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, and refreshing beverages to enjoy indoors or out in the landscaped courtyard steps away. Later in the day, the onsite bar serves cocktails and light bites in a casual, inviting setting.
