Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast

Perfection! My husband and I stayed here for four wonderful nights when my son was getting married nearby. We went early as we had never been to New England before and we wanted to look around and I couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to stay! In fact, this is the nicest lodging we have ever visited, filled with beautiful art and antiques. The outside is just as wonderful, with a gorgeous patio overlooking a tree studded valley. At night the only sounds were the frogs and the wind in the maples. The owner, Regine, was wonderful as was Sam, the chef and groundskeeper. My new daughter in law came by and was sad she didn’t realize they are also licensed to do weddings here as it would have been the perfect spot for her garden wedding! I will always stay here when I visit again!

Charming yet large home that is very inviting from the moment you cross the threshold. Hidden away up on a hill secluded by 50 acres of trees w stunning views of the valley below, it is the photo next to the word «tranquility» in the dictionary
Sam the caretaker/​cook/​major domo, is rich with local lore, and recommendations for local meals and shopping. Suggest chive eggs and the local yogurt and berries
Definitely plan on returning. 3 nights in the Blue Room washed away the stress of the daily grind almost immediately and for a while we were transported to a time when we were totally carefree and it was all about us.

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous, relaxing weekend here. I live 3 hrs away in Boston, but if I lived closer, I would come here every weekend. We have stayed in countless inns/B&Bs around the world, and this is one of the best in terms of sheer beauty, ambiance, and service. Staying at this inn felt like visiting a European country manor filled with elegance and beauty. Every room, and every inch of the patio looks like it belongs in a home and garden magazine. The rooms are decorated in warm, beautiful antiques. We stayed in the red suite which opens onto the patio. The bed was super comfortable, so much so that my husband would have been happy to stay in it all day. I’m a nature lover, and want to be outside as much as possible, so the outdoor flagstone patio was my favorite part of the inn. It overlooks a lush green valley filled with birds, green grass, and tall trees. Roses, trellises, and flowering planters adorn the patio. Loveseats, loungers, and chairs covered in soft cushions invite you to relax, sip lemonade and listen to the birds. At night, the moon and stars are beautiful to watch with flickering candles surrounding you on the patio. We spent hours lazing on the two person hammock under giant shade trees. The small dipping pool is super relaxing and refreshing in the summer. With only 3 guest rooms, there is plenty of privacy. It is so lovely here that we would love for it to stay a secret. Regine is incredibly kind, warm and welcoming, like an aunt, and Sam cooked us a fabulous breakfast. Regine even helped us reserve a beautiful restaurant for dinner with views overlooking a lake and vineyard. We look forward to returning soon. On the day we checked out, she even generously invited us to stay as long as wished that afternoon since she had no guests that night. You truly feel welcome here. –Diane and Ryan

Great experience, perfect hostess, delightful rooms and fantastic view! An adorable B&B — you can’t go wrong. It’s in a quiet location and is a truly refreshing experience.

Very nice place. We stayed in the Blue Room and it was nice an comfortable. The area around is very picturesque.
The host is just incredible, very friendly and welcoming. The property is extremely well maintained.
It seems that Chrales Aznavour’s «La Boheme» should quietly be playing in the background here all the time.
It’s very nice.

This is shamefully overdue– My husband and I had the giddy pleasure of staying at Hidden Valley in mid September. We were visiting an ailing mother in Hartford, leaving a new college grad at home outside of Philadelphia to man the fort and the geriatric pets, and we were trying to sneak in a 30^th anniversary breath of fresh air in the middle of much chaos.
Well, we felt like two children opening the door into the magic cupboard and discovering a world too beautiful for words. Since our host was not there at the moment we arrived we finally summoned the courage to just wander around the back patio and peer in windows. I think we almost began to tremble w/​the sheer beauty we were finding. Then we went in the front door and almost giggled out of delight (kind of like Lizzie Bennett when she comes across Mr. Darcy’s home…) No detail is forgotten and the house is truly elegant yet so personal and cozy. Magical comfy spots to rest and find a book or just enjoy the lovely hidden valley view below.
Oh, the lovely innkeeper, Regine, did appear momentarily, driving up the road in some handy vehicle that she was using to clear brush and limbs in the surrounding woods. An elegant, beautiful lady surrounded by dogs, used to hard work and taking on the tasks at hand. She whisked us in (a lovely young English couple had also arrived) and quickly assessed that wine and dinner reservations were needed. She set us up in perfect corners of the patio, assessed where we be happiest eating and took care of the phone calls. After a lovely meal we came back to a starry night on the patio, a wonderful night’s rest, and a lovely group breakfast the next day in the kitchen where our small gathering of guests got to visit w/​each other and our hostess.
As we said fond farewells she was getting ready to entertain a group that evening, and we felt so privileged to have been there at Hidden Valley for just a brief moment. I know that it is a place where we will return. The Litchfield Hills area is a gorgeous area and we want to take the time to settle in and explore more. Many thanks Regine!

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here while in town for a farm dinner. This place was beautiful! We were very pleasantly surprised. While the website was good and showed nice pictures, it does not do this property and the lovely owner enough justice. The house is impecably kept and just charming. There is a wondering back terrace that over looks a nature reserve with plenty of space for guests to sit and not feel crowded. Our room, the red room, was wonderful. Clean, bright, inviting, and warm with glass doors that open on to the terrace and private bathroom. The next morning we had a lovely breakfast. Our stay was short, only one night, but asked about the possibility of renting the whole inn for a weekend. The owner was so lovely and kind and took us on a tour of the house (we were the only guests that night). I would highly recommend this place and hope to come back again soon.

This place is gorgeous! It is one of the few places that is better in person than in the pictures. What you don’t see in the pictures are the beautiful natural surroundings and the elegant details in the décor. The whole house is infused with warmth and sophistication. Nary a tack frill. It is located in the Litchfield hills and close to many boarding schools, antique shops and nature reserves. In fact it over looks the 2 thousand acre Hidden Valley section of the Steep Rock nature reserve.
I felt transported to another time and place while there. I walked on the well tended paths through the woods and while sitting on the terrace with a pair of binoculars borrowed from the owner I watched deer and red tailed hawks in the fields below.
This place is truly magical, elegant, cozy and welcoming.
The owner had wonderful suggestions for activities during the day and recommendations for local restaurants and shopping. However the most pleasurable time I had was spent reading a book I pulled from the bookshelf and situated myself in the hammock overlooking the valley view.
And it only took me 2 hrs to drive from the City (Manhattan)!
