Rooted in History. Designed for Today.

1754 House: Stay. Savor. Celebrate.

Considered by many to be the oldest inn in Connecticut, the 1754 House is steeped in history yet thoughtfully updated with modern conveniences. Nestled in the scenic Litchfield Hills, our charming inn offers 10 beautifully appointed rooms, each with a king or queen bed and a private bathroom. Select rooms also feature cozy sitting areas. As The Boston Globe notes, our “rooms are super clean with comfy beds,” making your stay effortlessly comfortable.

Start your morning with complimentary muffins and fresh coffee before exploring all that Woodbury and the surrounding area have to offer. Our on-site restaurant has been recognized by The New York Times as a local favorite—and our Flat Five blues tavern is the perfect place to unwind with live music, a delicious meal, and handcrafted cocktails.

The 1754 House is also a charming and versatile venue for unforgettable events, including weddings of up to 150 guests. Events can be held inside the inn or in the renovated Carriage House, a two-story space that blends rustic character with modern amenities. Executive Chef and Owner Michael Bates-Walsh works closely with each host to plan a personalized experience, from custom menus to thoughtful details that bring your vision to life.
