5 out of 5Wonderful Weekend Getaway
February 23, 2013
We recently visited Mia and her wonderful inn and were beyond pleased. It was less than two hours from lower westchester. We stayed in the garden suite and the accomadations were comfortable, clean and in very good taste. Mia was a lovely hostess and served delicious breakfast every morning. I personally enjoyed speaking about nearby places to visit, Sweden, and antiques. Would love to go back again soon- thank you Mia! --- Stephen----

I am currently resting on a plush whit couch in the sitting room of the Garden Suite. My weekend is over, but the memories of my time here will be long-lasting. The Boardman House epitomizes a proper B&B. the rooms are exceedingly comfortable and charming. The house is magestic and meticulously appointed. Mia, the innkeeper is delightful, charming and helpful. The restaurants in the surrounding towns are excellent. My experience was in the winter, and I assume that the springs and summer months would provide even further enjoyment, but I am thouroughly satisfied with all aspects of my time here. I wholeheartedly recommend the Boardman House to anyone who desires a true B&B experience.

5 out of 5A gem close to home
January 08, 2013
If you're looking for an idealic New England getaway, this is as good as it gets. Only 2 hours from Southern Westchester, close to charming towns like Chester and Essex where New England dining and shopping is as charming as can be. Our Mia is a wonderful hostess. Warm, kind, and accommodating. The Garden Suite was perfect! It was warm, spacious, and very comfortable. The house is beautiful and takes you to a time where a moment can be enjoyed to its fullest. We are delighted to find a place so close to home that we are looking forward to returning to regularly. Highly recommended!

We had a one night December stay in the beautifully appointed Boardman room. We especially enjoyed the heated bathroom floor! We often come in to the Goodspeed and will definitely return to the Boardman House. Cheryl & Gary NYC

From the moment you enter the foyer, Mia always greets us with the most welcoming smile & hospitality! From the spotless rooms to the my favorite wonderful breakfast! Whenever we travel to Haddem to visit our son & daughter in law, we so look forward to the warm & comfortable accomodations that Mia from the Boardman house assures us
5 out of 5Birthday Stay
November 07, 2012
I planned this stay at the Boardman House B&B a few months back. I wanted to make this a very special weekend for "My Love - Lucy". I had a few concerns that I wanted expressed and sent off an email to Mia - the Innkeeper. Mia was extremely helpful and out did herself in every way to make this an exceptional weekend for Lucy. From making sure we had the most menial of accommodations to making sure that all of our expectations were met. The rooms were awesome. The King sized bed in the "Corner Room" was incredible, it was one of the best night sleep, we both had. The breakfast was also very nice and also met a very nice couple from NJ that were enjoying their stay as well. In all - I highly recommend the Boardman House for anyone. We will definitely be going back. Vin & Lucy
