Boardman House Inn

This place is amazing! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a nice birthday get-​away. It took me over a month to find a place that I knew he would love. When I found the Boardman House Inn, I knew IMMEDIATELY that he would love it. I’m so glad that I listened to my gut. This place was beautiful!!! The inn keepers were beyond friendly. We arrived a little after 5:30. As soon as we were shown to our room Mia informed us of local restaurants to eat at after we had mentioned we were going to go out for dinner. We stayed in the French Room! It was so cozy and inviting. I should also add that the breakfast was delicious! One morning we had french toast with fresh fruit. The next morning we had scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, toast, and my boyfriend had sweet bacon which he said was some of the best bacon he’s ever had! I should also add that the location of this Inn is just perfect! I didn’t have any set plans for the weekend, but after only a few minutes of research we had our whole day planned! We went to gilette castle, then we took a train ride. Plus the little town that the Boardman House Inn is in is just so adorable. On our last night we decided to walk around the town and get some ice cream. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend staying here!

There is no reason NOT to stay here! Innkeepers are outstanding, accommodating and very friendly. Rooms impeccable and comfortable (we had four rooms). Very good restaurants within 15 minutes. Very highly recommended.

Elegant, warm and inviting! Boardman House is Beautiful both inside and out.
Inside furnishings and outside gardens were fabulous!
Mia was a gracious host. Her breakfast was delicious.
Fabulous location! Down the road from the Godspeed Opera House.
Can’t wait to return!

My sister and I had a most enjoyable stay in the Corner Room — complete with heated tile floors in the bathroom. Mia was always so friendly and shared suggestions on restaurants in the area as well as how to spend our free time.
Her breakfasts seemed simple but just perfect! Yummy waffles and french toast were served hot, crispy on the outside but moist and tender on the inside… and the presentation was beautiful as well. I am certainly glad we chose to stay at the Boardman House Inn during our visit to the Goodspeed.

This is truly an elegant, pristine old mansion. The rooms are charming and
very comfortable. This was my third stay there. They owners are very warm
and welcoming… and the breakfasts are divine!

My sister and I stayed here recently and absolutely loved the Boardman House. Mia was a gracious and friendly host — her Belgian waffles, fresh fruit, and selection of Keurig coffee and tea was just perfect. The home was a lovely mix of both old and new, and our Corner Room was so comfortable that we really felt at home. Mia keeps the place spotless, both inside and out, and the pretty seating areas outside are simply welcoming. We are already taking about our next trip since we’d like to stay in the Boardman Room next time, also perhaps taking in a show at the Goodspeed theater that’s a short walk down the road. Thank you, Mia — we’ll see you again soon!

A bit of Old Sweden in Old Connecticut. Immaculate, quiet and cozy. furnished with beautiful Swedish antiques. Mia welcomes you like a long-​lost Swedish cousin. A delightful place to stay.

What a beautiful place! Mia is charming, and it is evident that the place is a labor of deep, and ongoing love. The heated bathroom floors took the cake for us! The surrounding area of East Haddam, Chester, Essex. and Old Lyme were fascinating, and Mia had many wonderful recommendations. Just to add to the previous review, the complimentary Belgian chocolates and the museum passes were a very nice touch. My husband enjoyed the breakfasts (being a vegan, I didn’t eat the eggs and meats). I look forward to returning in the spring, hopefully.

Do not tell anyone about this place because I always want to be able to stay here. I think one of the most beautiful Bed and Breakfast I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Mia and Andre have thought of every detail. Comfortable beds, gorgeous décor, radiant floor heat in the bath, warm towels. just lovely.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful place. Oh, and walk to the Goodspeed and see a great musical.
