"Very elegant and confortable house which surpassed our expectations. You anticipate every guest's possible needs. We'll recommend you to our friends." Jill and Chris, Athens Greece
View from the Deerfield Room. "Beautiful birdsong and a glorious view greeted us this morning..." Ed and Carlene, New York City
We had a most enjoyable stay, relaxing and most comfortable. The house is beautiful, with a genuinely relaxing atmosphere. The food was great and we felt most welcome. Brad and Eileen, West Hartford, CT
Centennial House's 2.5 acres of rolling lawn and a 16' gazebo extend the event space for weddings and other outdoor events.
About a mile away from the Connecticut River. "We were in four states today..Mass., NH, Vermont, and NY. I think we picked the perfect place to see such beautiful colors and people. I will carry memories of picture-perfect landscapes and friendly people." John and Michelle, Ventura, California
Your breakfast begins with a generous serving of our own blackberries and local farm-fresh fruit in season.
Our gardens are filled with seasonal blooms--peonies, Steve's ever-expanding rose garden and lilies.
Guest rooms feature four poster queen and king beds, comfortable seating, oriental rugs and plenty of windows. The Deerfield Suite, featured here, overlooks two rolling acres and distant hills.
Breakfast comes hot out of the over at a time you choose. We only serve organic, fair trade locally roasted coffee. Special diets can be accommodated with advance notice. Our ingredients are locally-sourced whenever possible.

5 out of 5What a great place!!!
March 02, 2013
The proprietors Joan and Steve are seasoned B&B professionals. We stayed in the king suite for two nights. Lot of space, huge perfect jacuzzi bath tub. So comfortable, so clean. Excellent ideas for recreation. Cross country ski up to a doable 1000 foot summit on Mount Northfield 4 miles away. I am an espresso drinker perfect one block away cozy bookstore with amazing coffee!! Fire place in the breakfast room while eating home made comfort food breakfast. Small town, quiet, beautifully surrounded by foot hills. We stayed an unexpected extra night simply because it was so aweome!

Innkeeper Response
Thanks so much! All of the activities you folks crammed into two days left us exhausted just watching you come and go! You demonstrated that even in the winter there are a tremendous number of interesting things to do in the Connecticut River valley, especially, but not exclusively, in the wonderful mountains and trails surrounding Northfield. Thanks for taking such wonderful advantage of what the region has to offer! Joan and Steve4.6 out of 5Wonderful weekend getaway

My husband was looking for a weekend getaway at a new B & B, we try to go to a new place every winter. We like the winter time because it is generally less quieter. The Centennial House was beautiful and the rooms we large and comfortable. We slept so well and we always comfortable, which can be difficult in old houses. The breakfast was delicious and the late afternoon snacks were yummy and always hit the spot. The decor was breathtaking (all decorated for the holiday season) and looked like something out of a movie. I already have and will continue to recommend to friends. We would love to make it back someday. Jillian and Eric Johnson

What is 'breathtaking' is this amazing review. Thanks so much, Jill and Eric, for recognizing our team effort here. Our head housekeeper, Monica, works as hard as we do to keep the decorations fresh and new each year. She will be thrilled with your comments and that makes us happy! All the best until you can get back for another visit, J and S5 out of 5A place you will want to visit again and again
May 01, 2012
We visited from Florida and stayed there in June of 2002 and are hoping to make it back there this year. The innkeepers were fantastic and we felt like we left the world behind and went back in time to a very peaceful stressfree life. The food and accomodations cold not have been any better. I would love to be able to clone the owners and their B&B and be able to settle in with them every place we go. This is a real treat that you don't want to miss! Roger n Lynette Ball

4.0 out of 5A friendly and relaxing visit to Centennnial House
February 21, 2012
To counter some ongoing stress, my husband and I planned an overnight stay at this B & B. To begin with, we were able to make a reservation for one night on a weekend - which is not always easy to do with many establishments. The stress began to ease as we entered the house and were greeted by Joan, one of the hosts. She showed us around, explained the house policies, brought us to our room and offered to help us with dining arrangements. From the warm welcome and the comfortable accommodations to the delicious breakfast the following morning, we were sorry to leave. It was a very positive experience which we hope to do again sometime in the not too distant future. Thank you!
4.0 out of 5A great B & B.
December 28, 2011
We’ve been staying with Joan and Steve every year over the past 10 years, which says a lot right there. From the first visit to the last it has always been a warm and inviting place to stay. Great breakfasts, well appointed and clean rooms. Steve and Joan are knowledgeable and helpful for any plans you may need to make. If you want to feel like family rather than customers look no further. - Mark H
Innkeeper Response
In a recent seminar, a B&B expert advised "market your B&B to people who will appreciate your style and when they arrive it will feel like old friends stopping by rather than work." This group from Rhode Island--of which Mark and his wife are part--prove that point. We look forward to their return each year. Summers would not be the same without them!5 out of 5Wonderful Couple that runs this B&B, you will not be disappointed.

I must say the room was beautiful and comfortable, we stayed in the deerfield suite and it was perfect for my husband and I and two children, the breakfast was wonderful and Joan and Steve are as pleasant as they come and Barbara who also helps out was wonderful as well. We were there due to a not so happy time for my family and they were all so kind and accomadating for our stay, highly recomend and I personally hope to go back during happier times.
Innkeeper Response
We are so moved by your taking the time to write on our behalf. It's easy to be nice to nice people, and all of the family members who stayed here, as well as those who attended your event, gave tribute to the family's reputation for service to the community. You are very special people and we're looking forward to your next visit. Best wishes.5 out of 57/1/2011 stay

Whether this is your first time or you're a return visitor, Steve and Joan make you feel as though you're family and they're so happy to have you there. My wife and I are always astonished at what Joan manages to serve up for breakfast morning after morning, never the same and always delicious. The rooms are comfortable and have a "homey" feel. The surrounding community has a country atmosphere so if you're inclined to get away from the "hustle and bustle" of city life to relax, Centennial House is a nice retreat. Rachel & Roger Morin
