We are delighted to find this wonderful rest on our flying journey!  Thanks to Ed for rescuing us at the airport - we're only sorry to have missed Christine. The house is beautiful, furnishings are lovely and I appreciate all of the extra touches of hospitality.

We are already planning another visit... We also wanted to compliment you on your cooking.  We know you joked that Christine's meals were better, but you (Ed) did an exceptional job on your own.  Thanks again for all your kindness, time and care.  It was nice to not only have nice accommodation, but to get to know you as well...

Would you consider adopting us?  We would love to live under your tender, loving care.

This has been wonderful. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was always a real treat and your hospitality was greatly appreciated.  We hope to stop by and say HI when we are in the area again.  Thanks for making our visit so great.

We stayed at the Birches for eleven years, and had intended to explore several new  inns to find a replacement, but after our brief stay at your wonderful house we've found our replacement.  We look forward to staying with you again.

Thank you so much for your exceptional and special display of warmth and hospitality.

Cornucopia is everything we had hoped it would be, very comfortable, tastefully decorated, a fabulous breakfast and above all, both of you are gracious, wonderful hosts.
Since our main reason for being here was to attend Grandparents day at Taft, your location and proximity to the school is excellent.
It is a great pleasure and an honor to meet both of you!

Mary and I have stayed at many inns but we have never enjoyed the whole experience more than at your inn.  Each breakfast was delicious, the room was very comfortable and you made us feel like part of the family.  We hope it won't be long before we return to the Cornucopia.

Dear Fred,  If your keepers treat you with at least one quarter of the attention and care they treat their guests with, you are one lucky dog!  Our five night stay was magnificent.  Beautiful home.

What an amazing 2-day escape.  Your hospitality, with attention to every detail was warm and efficient.  We particularly enjoyed our chats but the rest: exquisitely furnished home, inviting pool, and beautifully kept grounds made our visit so memorable that we both shall return with our husbands.

Thank you so much,

Thank you for my healthy breakfasts, and for all the ideas and help with excursions and dinner plans, etc., etc.

Although our time at "Cornucopia" was brief, it was the perfect place in a wonderful setting for a special family time.  The location was so convenient  together the four kids together for our only opportunity to reunion for six months.  We will always treasure our time at Cornucopia.

We had a wonderful time at the Cornucopia at Oldfield. The room was beautifully decorated with lots of light coming in from the windows and the fireplace made it feel so cozy and warm. The bed was as if you were sleeping on clouds. I sat out on the private balcomy one day watching my son and my husband playing in the falling leaves and just enjoying the wonderful view. The food was delicious every morning, and I especialy loved having fresh fruit each morning with my breakfast. The keeping room has a big fireplace and we looked forward to sitting by the fire with a cup of hot tea. The innkeepers are warm and welcoming. They made us feel like part of the family. They were so accomidating to our needs and wants. They gave us great information about what to do and where to eat. We also took a drive around the area and stopped by a Christmas Tree farm that was just down the street. Our visit to Southbury was one of the best vacations we have ever had and we will be returning again next year.
