I've always loved art
I've always liked to create
I've always liked the hosptality industry
I've always loved the water
I've always liked to transform spaces
I've always loved gardens and gardening
I am a die-hard New Englander
So we bought a beautiful historic property in the center
of a very historic town, Glastonbury with direct river access...
Spent years rennovating...
Transformed this tired property into a showpiece of
Art, design and gardens...
Made a home and business reflecting my design style...
Have been operatin

Such an amazing experience. Allie provided a variety of art activities that were all so fun and interesting. Her preparation was extraordinary. Make Your Own Happy was the theme and we certainly did! The setting was beautiful. And I feel that all of us participants became instant friends. A well spent week that I would not hesitate to do again.

Amazing experience! The hosts were wonderful, food was delicious, rooms and gardens were beautiful. I had so much fun creating and bonding with all the fantastic women participating in our retreat.

I had a wonderful experience at the art retreat. In addition to the amazing art, Pat is a kind, welcoming hostess. I enjoyed all the meals. Terry was so warm and personable. I hope to attend more art retreats at this beautiful Inn.

Wonderful in every aspect! The accommodations were comfortable and fully appointed. The food was flavorful and I'm not even vegan. But the highlight was the daily class. Allie had every art supply one could possibly use. She not only explained each project step by step, she also provided handouts so the students could replicate the projects at home. I couldn't be more pleased with this retreat.

Worst art retreat I’ve ever attended. Poor customer service by host, mediocre accommodations and food, no food options, scratchy sheets, poor air circulation, studio cramped, desserts and snacks store bought, meals served on plate, so no portion options or sauce options, just take it or leave it. Host has bad manners and intrudes on conversations, talks on and on, and is disrespectful. Would NOT recommend attending a retreat at this location. Was also disappointed by minimal teaching and assistance by the artist who spent more time working on her paintings than helping students with theirs.

We are sorry that Rebecca did not enjoy her time here. But we do question why she signed up for this second retreat after coming to her first retreat just 2 months ago to this one if she thought everything was as bad as she has described.
