Homestead Madison is a bed and breakfast on the Connecticut Shoreline with twelve individually furnished guest rooms that all have their own private bathrooms and features like premium bedding, Egyptian cotton sheets, memory foam beds, Smart TVs with streaming, and free bottled water, so you'll find the rooms bright, comfortable, and stocked with things that make a stay easier, including WiFi, refrigerators, hair dryers, irons, and toiletries, and in some rooms there are cozy touches like electric fireplaces, vintage record players with in-room LPs, and private patios or outdoor seating with Adirondack chairs and umbrellas. Guests get a free continental breakfast with fresh pastries and quiche from local shops, and there are snacks and water always available in both rooms and common areas, so there's always something to eat or drink if you're up early or late, and guests can also choose room service or special meal options like gluten-free or low-sodium meals if needed. There's staff on hand who are rated as helpful and provide attentive hospitality, and the house itself is bright and cheerful, with pastel colors, hardwood floors, skylights, antiques, and big rooms that let in garden or terrace views, and when someone stays, whether it's a couple looking for a romantic weekend or a short-term visitor who wants a respite stay, there are common spaces like the living room with the fireplace, a sun room, and a library, and outside you'll see gardens, patios, two fire pits, a terrace, and a deck set up for sitting, relaxing, or even having small weddings.
Some guest rooms have vintage pieces, like a hand-carved spindle bed and matching dresser, and there's a big suite with a King bed, electric fireplace, and a Jack and Jill bathroom that has a bidet toilet seat and a full vintage tub and shower, while a large second-floor room offers two Queen beds, a big walk-in closet, and garden views, plus for families there's a two-bedroom suite as well. There are pet-friendly rooms on request, with a $25 per day fee for dogs under 30 pounds, and the rooms are set up with comfort in mind so most are easy to access, but there's no elevator in the building, so some rooms are up a full flight of stairs. The bathrooms include nice spa-style double showers with high-pressure shower heads infused with Vitamin C and E, and most everything in the house is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged for anyone who stays there, whether the visit is for a special occasion, a relaxing break, or just to explore the local arts, vineyards, culture, and sports. The property gives free self-parking, an electric car charging station, complimentary bicycle rentals, and even provides some transportation help, with close access to public transit and uncovered resident parking. For guests who want something to do, there are activities on-site related to arts, wellness, food, and wine, plus specialized packages that can include spa services, menu tastings, or visits to local vineyards, and around the house, it's a short walk to Main Street shops and cafes. Homestead Madison is a craft lodging property that puts a lot of effort into keeping the rooms and grounds pleasant and welcoming, and helps guests feel at home with carefully chosen furniture, cozy fabrics, and a focus on comfort and ease. The setting is quiet, there's always staff ready to help, and it all adds up to a place where people can settle in and feel comfortable, whether for an overnight stay or a longer time.
