As the air crisps and the days shorten, a spectacular show unfolds. The hills and valleys of New England are preparing to burst into a symphony of crimson, gold, and orange, and there’s no better place to experience it all than from the cozy comfort of our B&B in historic Windsor, Connecticut.
While states further north get all the hype, Connecticut boasts one of New England's longest and most vibrant foliage seasons. Situated right in the heart of it all, Windsor provides the perfect home base for your leaf-peeping adventure.
We're an easy drive from some of the most stunning scenic routes, and our charming town offers plenty to explore right at your doorstep.
Why Choose Windsor, CT for Your Fall Getaway?
Peak Foliage at Your Fingertips: From late September through late October, the colors in central Connecticut are at their most breathtaking. Our location puts you right in the sweet spot for the best viewing, with peak color generally arriving in our region in early to mid-October.
A Sanctuary of Comfort: After a day of exploring, imagine returning to a warm, inviting room. Our B&B is the perfect place to unwind, with plush beds, a cozy fireplace, and a hearty, homemade breakfast to fuel your adventures each morning. Forget the crowded chain hotels and impersonal lodging—here, you'll find genuine hospitality and a peaceful retreat from the world.
So Much to See and Do: Windsor is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a destination in itself. Enjoy the historic downtown, visit the Windsor Historical Society, or walk the Windsor Center River Trail for a beautiful view of the autumn-colored Connecticut River. For a truly unique and delicious experience, be sure to plan your visit around the Annual Windsor Jaycees Chili Challenge on October 11th. You can stroll to the Windsor Town Green tasting dozens of different chilis and helping to decide which one reigns supreme! Want more? Here's a taste of what's waiting for you nearby:
Scenic Drives: Drive along Connecticut’s official scenic routes like the Hartford West loop, passing through Granby, Canton, and Farmington for incredible views
Local Harvest Fun: Embrace the season with a trip to a nearby farm like Brown's Harvest for a corn maze, hayride, and pumpkin picking.
