You’d never guess this is just an hour from NYC

This is what arriving for a quiet weekend looks like at Stanton House Inn.

We’re a historic bed and breakfast on a tree‑lined street just off Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, CT—close enough to NYC for a quick train ride, far enough that it doesn’t feel like the city at all.

If you’re planning a weekend near NYC, this is what it actually feels like.

Room 18 is the room I actually grew up in.

Before it was my bedroom, it was a sleeping porch. If you're not familiar with the term, it goes back to before air conditioning. A lot of old historic houses had a semi-outdoor space where the family slept in the summer to stay cool. The theory was sound. The reality, in this house anyway, was that the walls weren't particularly well insulated. So the room was hot in summer and cold in winter.

It also had a private door to the outside. For a six-year-old, that was apparently a source of considerable parental anxiety. I don't remember being troubled by it. For me it just meant easy access to the century-old copper beech in the yard, where I'd dig for bugs.

The room looks a little different now. Full tour here: https://youtu.be/h0qU59MbRmA🌿🌿

A question we get more often than you'd think: is Greenwich a welcoming town for LGBTQ+ guests?

It is. I think the Patagonia jackets throw people off, but the welcome here is real and pretty matter-of-fact.

The usual follow-up is whether there are gay bars. There aren't. It's a 60,000-person town, so that was never going to happen. If you want that specific night out, Metro North will have you in Greenwich Village in about 40 minutes.

What Greenwich does have is a good run of gay-friendly rooms, all with a nicely mixed crowd. I'd start in our speakeasy lounge with a drink and a leather chair, then walk up to Greenwich Avenue. The Ginger Man is a proper New England tavern with a big bar and no telling who turns up. Wine at Harvest, a nightcap on the water at L'Escale.

You never know who you'll run into at any of them. I've always liked that about a night here.

Memorial Day weekend shows you Greenwich from the outside. The first weekend of June shows you what's behind the gates.

If we haven't met, I'm Colin. Fourth generation at Stanton House Inn, here in Greenwich.

The first weekend of June is Grandiflora. The Greenwich Botanical Center has been running it for almost 70 years. For one Saturday, five private gardens open to the public. These are back country properties you won't see from the road, and they're not on anyone's typical Greenwich itinerary.

It builds across the weekend. Friday night is a back country soirée, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at a private estate, with time to wander the grounds while it's still light out. Saturday is the garden tour, self-guided across all five. Sunday keeps the country weekend going, with the Riding and Trails horse show in the morning and a polo match in the afternoon.

If you want to see how people actually live here, without stacking 12 activities on top of each other, this is the weekend I point guests to.

I put the full itinerary together. Map, timing, ticket links. It's all here: https://stantonhouseinn.com/grandiflora-weekend

A Garden You Can Stay In 🌿

What if your inn felt more like a private garden?

Tucked away in Greenwich, Stanton House Inn offers a quiet, green escape (especially in the spring).

When you grow up in a bed and breakfast, your parents' bedroom is the only room in the whole building that's actually private. Being called into that room meant one of two things. Something good was about to happen, or you were in trouble. Most of the time it was the second one.

That serious, grown-up back bedroom is now Room 16.

For a while it held its own. Then I noticed it was getting passed over more than it used to. A thoughtful guest eventually told me why. They hadn't slept well. The room was noisier in the morning than they expected. It wasn't delivering what the rest of the house promised.

I could have been defensive. Instead I thought, they're right, and this is the room to fix.

We started with the windows. Then a wool rug to absorb the sound and warm the floor. Then a rattan chair and a small antique writing desk I had honestly planned to skip, until I saw it and couldn't.

Room 16 isn't a showpiece. It's the small, serious room you trust for a good night's sleep. If that's the kind of room you always end up loving, this one's yours.

A quick correction for anyone planning a Hudson Valley trip.

The Woodstock Festival did not actually happen in Woodstock, New York. It happened in Bethel, about 60 miles away. So if you're driving up expecting a pilgrimage site, you'll be disappointed and a little confused.

That said, Woodstock is still worth visiting. Just not for the reasons most people think.

The town today is more interesting than the festival mythology suggests. There's a Tibetan Buddhist monastery — Karma Triyana Dharmachakra — sitting on a steep road up Overlook Mountain, with a hiking trail right across the street. The shops are genuinely unique. Not tourist-trap unique. Actually unique. Vintage stores, artisan boutiques, bookshops that look like they've been there forever. The food range is surprising for a town this size. Farm-to-table, Italian, vegan comfort food. Garcia's has a sprawling outdoor area that's hard to leave once you've sat down.

It's eclectic, artsy, and a little quirky. And honestly, way more interesting because it isn't frozen in 1969.

If you're planning a Hudson Valley day trip and you want something that surprises you, Woodstock is a good answer. Just don't go looking for Hendrix memorabilia. He was never there either.

A short note on Provincetown, for anyone planning a Cape trip from the New York area.

My first visit was a two-night trip. The drive was about four hours each way. The town itself was fantastic. But the math didn't work. Too much time in the car. Not enough time in town.

I think about Provincetown differently now. It's not a quick weekend stop. It's a place to anchor a longer Cape trip, or the final stop on a New England coastal road trip where you want to feel like you've reached the end of the map for a few days.

If you're sketching out a summer or fall route, give it the time it deserves.

Slow Mornings at Stanton House Inn ☕🌿

No alarms. No rush. Just coffee, birds, and a quiet garden.

Mornings at Stanton House Inn in Greenwich, CT are meant to be taken slowly—just the way they should be.

Last January, during a cold snap, a pipe froze in Room Fourteen. Then it thawed. Then it leaked into the carpet.

Old houses make their own renovation schedules.

We had planned to update that room anyway. The pipe just moved everything up the calendar, and not particularly on my terms. I described it at the time as the room rising from the ashes like a sopping wet phoenix.

The room came out better than it would have if we had done it on our own timetable.
I'm not sure that justifies the January it caused, but here we are.

Come stay in it sometime: https://stantonhouseinn.com/accommodation/room-14
