What a wonderful feature on our little corner of Connecticut! 🍂

Lake Waramaug, New Preston, Warren and the surrounding Litchfield Hills have so much to discover — beautiful scenery, history, waterfalls, antique shops, wonderful places to eat and, of course, a vineyard or two. 🍷

We may be a little biased, but we think this is one of the prettiest places in Connecticut.

Come for the day, take the scenic roads, explore a little…and be sure to save some time to sit by the lake. ❤️

Discover the charming town in Connecticut that is near a lake, features a plethora of vintage stores, and appeared in a popular horror series.

Litchfield Hills made the list! Beautiful fall foliage is just around the corner🍂

Embark on 14 scenic fall road trips across the U.S., from Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains to the iconic Route 66, showcasing vibrant foliage and stunning vistas.
