Locust Tree Bed and Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    The bed and breakfast was purchased in 1999 and was used as a nursing home for many years. Since the purchase we have totally renovated the structure with all of the amenities available in the 21 century. It features internet access in each room and we have a common living room with a 52 in. tv and a large family style dining room with an eleven foot oak table.

    Heidi and John were so accommodating to our very big group of 4 siblings, grandparents, and lots of kids! They were so flexible with us on our sleeping situations, check in times, and were so kind and gracious. They made our stay for a nearby wedding very relaxing and stress free. Oh and the breakfast was awesome!!! This is such a terrific and clean b&b. We highly recommend it for anyone passing through the area. Thanks again Heidi and John! ... the Klepp Group

    My family has been staying at Locust Tree twice a year for 3 years now. My wife and I come to watch my son race at Limerock park which is only a few miles away, and my daughter comes as well. I think Locust Tree is the best B&B I have ever stayed at. It is clean and comfortable, with large airey rooms. The breakfast is great, and Heidi goes out of her way to provide you with whatever you want including special needs. The Lillis are very gracious hosts and make you feel like family. If you are traveling anywhere in this area, this is the place to stay.

    My family and I visited here this spring and loved it. I have two young children the Inn keepers were so great with them. They treated us like family. The Locust Tree was the cleanest place I have ever stayed. It has great hardwood floors all over. The family remodled it together and it is beautiful. I would stay here any time the rates were very competitve. and perfectly priced.

    We have been staying here since they opened. The rooms are wonderful, the beds comfortable and Heidi is the most amazing cook. Breakfast is 2 meals at least. Both of the owners are so helpful. John even boosted our battery for us. Close to Berkshires, Lime Rock Race track, and great restaurants. We love it there and go several times a year.

    My husband and myself have stayed here several times; usually when our family home in Canaan is full for family events. We have been treated wonderfully by John and Heidi. They bend over backwards to make sure you are well taken care of. We have always had a great time and wish we could stay here every time we come to Canaan, which is often as my family lives in Canaan! You cannot beat the hospitality and home-cooked breakfasts as well as that beautiful porch with the comfortable chairs and million dollar view. Great porch to drink your morning coffee on.... There is a sign at John and Heidi's that says, "Come as strangers and leave as friends" which is perhaps their mission statement. Its all true. Thanks so much for the beautiful retreat and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Cathy Caron
