The Stanton House Inn
Bed and Breakfast

Greenwich Connecticut Bed and Breakfast Inn

The Stanton House Inn, in its original form, was built in 1840 by John Sacket on land granted to an ancestor in the 1700's. During the years between the 1930's and 1960's, the home was operated as an inn by Nora Stanton Barney. It was Mrs. Barney who christened it Stanton House in memory of her grandmother, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the renowned American feminist and social reformer.

Today this historic mansion, situated on a landscaped acre with gardens and in-ground swimming pool, is elegant yet comfortable, with all the rooms decorated in delicate floral prints and soft colors and furnished in period antiques and reproductions. Air conditioning, a fire sprinkler system, and modern conveniences such as wireless Internet access have been added as part of the ongoing restoration process and in keeping with its premier accommodation status.

Guest accommodations consist of 24 guest rooms with private baths and three working fireplaces, as well as cable television and telephones with voice mail. Common rooms, a patio, pool, and gardens are also offered for overnight guests' enjoyment. Additionally, conference and reception space is available for small groups, and valet, copier, and facsimile services can be used. Buffet-style continental breakfasts are available each morning in the dining room.

The Stanton House Inn has the convenience of a major metropolitan area while retaining the tranquility of the countryside; a perfect setting for your next conference, reception, vacation, or just an overnight visit.

While its tranquil Connecticut setting conveys the feeling of life in the country, the inn's central location in Greenwich offers a host of conveniences.

Midtown Manhattan is only 45 minutes away on the train, and the inn is local to three major airports.

Greenwich Avenue is a five-minute walk from the inn and offers many fine restaurants, smart shops, art galleries, and antique shops.

A short walk from the inn is Putnam Cottage, where General Israel Putnam escaped from the British in 1779. A short drive takes you to the Bush Holly House, a restored 1732 Salt Box, or to the Audubon Center, with its 485 acres of nature trails and hiking and family programs.
