Connecticut's Quiet Corner is a rich tapestry of rolling hills and meadows, quaint antique, and specialty shops and scenic byways (Route 169, a nationally designated scenic road runs right through Pomfret and the Quiet Corner). The 30 mile "Rail Trail," a former railroad bed now a walking and mountain-biking trail, is adjacent to the bed and breakfast (B&B) and connects with five-miles of walking trails in the Connecticut Audubon Society's little-known 667-acre nature sanctuary.
Pomfret also boasts fine dining and an award-winning winery, where gourmet meals are served at the fireside tavern or outside in the wine garden.
