    Wow, Wow, Wow..... my partner & I (along with our two Maltese) just spent Labor Day weekend at the Daniel Rust House and I can assure you it truly is a little piece of heaven. Germaine & Cathy welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home from beginning to end. Speaking of home, this home is so unique with something to admire in every little corner. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, they brought surprise after surprise!!! The grounds are spectacular and beautifully maintained. We cannot wait for our return visit. If you are visiting Connecticut we would most definately recommend a stay at The Daniel Rust House, you'll be glad you did it!!!

    A great weekend!

    We had a wonderful weekend at the Daniel Rust House! Cathy and Germaine were so sweet and hospitable. We especially loved that they took the time to give us a historical tour of the house. We stayed in the Mary Rose Room - it was great. They even left the best homemade snickerdoodles we've ever had in our room. Breakfast was INCREDIBLE. Three amazing couses, each one fresh and served on beautiful platters. We will definitely be coming back!

    Germaine and Cathy are wonderful innkeepers. Breakfast was delicious. Both were so friendly & generous - they made us feel special and at home. Our puppy, Leo, loved playing in the fenced grassy yard & didn't want to leave. Overall, great time & beautiful place.

    Great Experience

    My wife and I went April 9th with our dog. It was a gift certificate from my parents because they were equally blown away by the service. We were greeted immediately by Cathy upon arrival and given a full historical tour of the house. This was our first time overnight with our dog, so we were a little concerned how it would go. Cathy and Germaine handled our dog as their own. They even watch your pet while you go out, so your little friend isn't locked up in a cage while you're gone. They are also very conscious of guests who may not want pets wandering and kept them separate. The rooms were very clean and adorned with era-appropriate antiques. We had a dura flame log waiting in our room. There is a really nice walking path on the property. There are upscale restaurants within 2 miles from the property. My wife and I chose a more casual lakeside establishment. The breakfast is fantastic. The offerings were anything from banana nut pancakes to quiche. All were prepared fresh and plentiful. I'm a picky eater generally, and I can attest there was something for everyone. The inn keepers are also sensitive to any dietary requests. This is a great location for guests visiting UConn and Mohegan Sun is only about 45 minutes. There is even a Drive Inn and a Winery (also dog friendly) nearby. Overall, we will definitely be back!!

    The Best BB I ever stayed in!

    If there was a six star rating this Inn would get it! My dog Angel and I were made to feel at home the moment we came. I wish that Cathy and Germaine would adopt us. The way they make you feel like family is nothing short of amazing! From the moment you get in your room you are greeted with homemade cookies, snacks and fresh milk in the frig for your morning coffee....and a real fireplace.The most delicious breakfast is served every morning on china patterns that changes each day. And my dog Angel had fresh toast each morning...she did not want to leave.The history of the Inn is also an important part of the stay. I recommend you emerse yourself in the stories of the past. We hope to come back often. We came as strangers and left as family!
