Taylor's Corner

Connecticut


Taylor's Corner has four antique-filled rooms overlooking lovely perennial-planted gardens; the latest addition is a suite converted from the living quarters of the former owners. Features include six real wood-burning fireplaces, wide-plank floorboards and curious beehive ovens. Mandolins, a piano and an adorable dog named Loulou make it ever so cozy. New ownership has made this into a real bargain for the area.
