River & lake retreats, away from the crowds.
Quiet homes along the Connecticut River valley and on the lake, with art, history and plenty of room to unwind.
Art towns, river views and lake days.
Old Lyme was the home of the American Impressionist art colony, and the Florence Griswold Museum still tells that story in the house and gardens where the painters lived. Nearby, the Griswold Point Preserve offers marsh trails and views over the mouth of the Connecticut River.
Just across the river, Essex makes an easy day trip, with the Connecticut River Museum and the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat. Inland in Montville, our lakeside home pairs kayaking and quiet mornings with easy access to Mohegan Sun.
