Home Away from Home
We travel to the Simsbury area just to stay at Green Acres B & B. There is a reason we returned to Green Acres B & B so many times. It is just a professionally, well-run establishment. The bedding is supreme, the home-made breakfasts with candlelight has so many offerings and the grounds as well as the antiques around the house are in wonderful taste. If those raves are not enough, it is pet-friendly too!

The house has been beautifully restored, without seeming too modern...but it does have ALL modern amenities! The owners are lovely, friendly people; the room we were in was charming, the bed very comfortable...if we had gone when it was a bit warmer we would have had our breakfast on the patio or next to the pool...and that breakfast! we were warned that it would be big, and it was! (And delicious.) Great place.

We spent a wonderful evening at Green Acres B&B. The owners are warm and welcoming and we enjoyed our talks about the charming historic home and beautifully landscaped property. It felt like visiting family. We were traveling with our dogs and even our bunnies and it worked out perfect! They spoiled us with an amazing country breakfast the morning we departed. It's the only place we'll stay when in Simsbury.

Green Acres is the place to be!
Jim and Cathy are the sweetest and kindest hosts. They are thoughtful and accommodating, and their hospitality is unsurpassed. Upon arrival, I was received with a warm welcome by Jim and the furry members of the family, Loretta and Rita. Then I was shown to my room, the Trade Room, where I found a gift bag had been set out for me containing water and snacks. I appreciated this very much, since I came straight from the airport and was hungry! They also provided a menu with breakfast options to select for the next morning. I chose to have breakfast in my room, which was delicious and beautifully arranged. I felt welcomed in the house like I was coming home. Rita and Loretta are absolutely adorable and will come greet you in the morning as well. Green Acres is even more beautiful and charming in person than the pictures suggest. Everything was very clean and tastefully decorated to match the historic nature of the house. Jim and Cathy go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The little extra considerations they take made it truly special and memorable for me. I can’t wait to come back!

A fabulous weekend away with lovely hosts!
We had a lovely weekend stay in Jim and Cathy's beautiful B&B! We enjoyed amazing breakfasts every morning with a wide range of delicious choices, many of them fresh from the garden (and chickens!). The pool was a huge hit with our two children who loved the floats (as did we) and played in the water for hours when they weren't snuggling with the dogs or collecting eggs. Jim and Cathy had an impressive story about their renovation and restoration of this 18th century farmhouse and the large, beautifully landscaped property, work that they accomplished with talent and vision. We really appreciated their thoughtful recommendations for activities each day, and they helped us learn about the area's unique features. Certainly, they made us feel very much at home. We're looking forward to our next stay!

Perfect relaxing getaway for two
This was our second stay at Green Acres. We came back specifically because on our first trip we only had 1 night there and it wasn't enough! Jim and Cathy are so wonderful and welcoming. Their breakfast creations are top-notch. They aim to please every guest and they always deliver. The giant yard, pool, chickens, hammock, everything adds to the home that is already busting with charm. We'll be back!

Got away for a day and went to a concert
First time in area; awesome stay; innkeepers are the best and take care of EVERY detail. Asked for breakfast in room at 9:30. At PRECISELY 9:30, my breakfast was served...with a smile. Not all B&Bs feature televisions in rooms or superior Internet service...or a pool for that matter with a rooster crowing in the background. As advertised! Right on the main highway, although rooms do manage to muffle the road sound quite a bit. Say hello to the three little pooches who will warmly greet you as you arrive.

Lovely colonial house B and B
The hosts at this lovely B and B could not have been more welcoming. The room itself was delightful, with every comfort provided including a decanter of sherry! which certainly helped my work along. The only negative thing to say is that the road noise was quite loud but the actual room itself was perfect. The pool was welcome on a hot day after travelling and the breakfast made to order eaten on the shady patio the following morning delicious. My request for a different option to the menu was no problem. The grounds of the house are lovely with seats and a hammock for relaxing. We really wished we had booked 2 nights and made the most of this lovely place The restaurant recommended a few minutes down the road was also excellent

Wonderful stay with gracious hosts
We had a wonderful stay at Green Acres while visiting our daughter. Jim and Cathy were gracious hosts. The rooms were beautifully decorated with New England antiques. The bedding and towels were of the highest quality. Each room had a mini refrigerator and real cream for coffee with a Keurig coffee maker, cookies and chocolate. We had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it.

A gem located in Simsbury CT. So glad we choose to stay with Cathy and Jim at their lovely Green Acres B & B. No detail is overlooked. Our room was the Trade Room, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The next morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast, all I can say is wow!!!! Would love to come back again for another stay, the surrounding area is beautiful. We took at hike the next day in Talcott State Park, very close by. To sum it all up a 5 stars all around.

Green Acres - a perfectly named B & B
Staying in B & B's is always fun and this is a perfect example of being treated like a treasured friend. I had quiet and privacy in my suite, overlooking the 'Green Acres'. Sweeping lawn that included a wonderful lily pond next to the patio, with the landscaped pool farther away. Chickens yield fresh eggs and dogs greet you. The B & B is a perfect blend of the old and the new. My hosts, Cathy and Jim were full of stories about their previous careers and their current one. Delicious breakfasts.

Rustic & Charming
The owners are very personable and accommodating. They offer many extras such as flowers, chocolates, robes, and slippers. There is also a grill and fully equipped/stocked kitchen off the pool. Breakfast varies each morning and is well prepared and served. The owners have 3 rescued dogs, so it can get a little noisy at times - not to mention the chickens and rooster. Very rustic and charming. You can even take a picture with a pitchfork for those who remember the TV show of the same name.

For the first time I had been to a bed and breakfast, my experience was...EXCELLENT. The room was wonderful- they had the softest beds I've slept on in years. And the breakfast in bed option came through in the clutch. Where else can you get steel-cut apple cinnamon oatmeal? The only possible complaint I had would be the stair case was awfully tight - but you can't really do anything about that in a 300 year old house. All in all, great experience and I will definitely return the next time I come to Simsbury.

Delightful combination of colonial and modern.
We enjoyed a lovely and extremely well-appointed room in a modestly-sized but very well-maintained colonial era home. Though it was near a main road, the sound and light insulation were excellent, and the full breakfast (NOT continental unless you prefer that) was extremely good. Hotel owners are gracious about special requests (early am breakfast, for example), and you won't find too many B&B's where you have a choice of locations for breakfast which includes "on the patio...with or without the company of the chickens!"

Rustic charm
This was my first stay at a b&b. The pictures didn't do the property justice. It is in a stunningly beautiful location. The home and the grounds are wonderfully maintained. We were greeted by the lovely owner at the door. He was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with two twin beds and it's own bathroom upstairs. The bathroom was large and very nice. The staircase leading to our room was comically small and steep. Thankfully the owner carried our super heavy luggage up for us. The stairs and the creaking floors are to be expected in an old home. The surprise was the three dogs! I am not an animal lover and have the allergies to go along. I have to say the dogs were mellow and the house was clean! One dog belonged to a fellow traveler which is nice for people traveling with pets.The breakfast was great. The owner wore a chefs coat and lit candles in the dining room. The food was made to your requests! He used real crystal glasses and pitcher! There was homemade preserves! The price,location and quality of service can't be beat.
