The Lily Pad

The Lily Pad is a classic style French Colonial home with a mansard roof. Built in 1820, our home maintains some of its original period ornamentation while offering today's modern conveniences. We are located on the Wepawaug River where you can enjoy nature from our gazebo or lawn swing. The front entrance features a rose walk and an English Garden. You can take a short walk to scenic waterfalls, visit an historic 1639 cemetery, or stroll through historic downtown Milford. Our downtown offers many exciting shops, restaurants and coffee houses, the Eastbound Theatre and frequent craft fairs on the Green. Our home offers six guest rooms, three with private baths. This is a smoke free environment and all guest rooms are scent free for guests with allergies. Rooms are decorated with a Victorian flair and hat collections enhance the decor. One bathroom has cedar lined walls, a shower stall and a claw foot bathtub . Another bath has a whirlpool tub. The third bath has an oversize shower.
