So, amid the chaos of trying to leave town, we were relieved to be able to book the "Procrastinator's Special" at a B&B called "Bellinger Rose." Who knew how truly lovely our stay would be, and that it would be difficult to leave after 3 nights? As I wrote to Chris and Leon, our wonderful hosts, the experience was a feast for all the senses, from the exquisite Victorian interior decor and gardens, to the delightful player grand piano, to the wafting aroma and lusciousness of breakfast, to the jacuzzi, hot tub, and available professional massage! Chris is a massage therapist, and next time I must avail myself of her skills. And a "next time" I sure hope there will be!
(P.S. Chris and Leon have the sweetest pets to enjoy!) View Reviewer Info

For the past several summers, we have travelled by boat to a number of locations throughout the New York / Connecticut area. This can pose some challenges, as we have no ground transportation, and from the beginning, we rely on the kindness of our innkeepers to get around. Chris and Leon began our stay by going above and beyond anything we had experienced up to that point, by transporting us to and from the marina, driving us into town for dinner, and offering to pick us up when we were done (we opted to enjoy a very pleasant and manageable walk back).
Their facilities are amazing. You are greeted by an antique player piano (and if you're lucky, Teddy and Ashley, the resident wheaton terriers)when you enter their home. Upstairs, are beautifully furnished rooms, with incredibly comfortable beds, plasma t.v., wireless internet and any other amenity you would want. We had casually mentioned that the backyard fire pit would be great for making s'mores, and when we came back from dinner, there was a fire and all the ingredients we needed waiting for us. We went from the backyard to an indoor hot tub, where each of the 4 of us gladly waited our turns for a massage from Chris (she's an RN and licensed massage therapist). Before turning in, we were asked for our preferences for breakfast from a very varied menu. When by wife asked for an herb omelot, Leon went online that night to research a recipe that he executed perfectly.
Chris and Leon (and their daughter Lauren who was home for her summer college break)are the most hospitable innkeepers you will ever find, and even though it sounds cliched, they really do make you feel like part of the family. We will be returning very soon, this time by car, and have already recommeded the Bellinger Rose to a number of friends.
