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. |
