The West Lane Inn

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the West Lane inn last month to go to a concert at Ridgefield Playhouse and it was awesome. The staff was very attentive... unfortunately we were not able to stay for breakfast... will certainly stay there again if the opportunity comes up again!

I had the incredible good fortune of growing up in this picturesque town (where my 88 year old mother still lives). When I was a little girl, and growing up, I always thought "when I'm grown up, I want to have enough money to afford to stay there." And sure enough, I did lol. We booked it a year in advance of my 40 year RHS class reunion - and it far exceeded my expectations. Not only is it in an incredibly convenient location (1/4 mile walk to town), the warmth of everyone who greeted us (the lovely woman manager was 4 classes ahead of me) - but many guests staying there were obviously many time repeat customers. The last Saturday in October, the town of Ridgefield blocks off Main Street for a Trick or Treating event for the children and their families - there must have been 3,000+ trick or treaters - every business hands out candy, there was a DJ - it was a picturesque afternoon on Main Street. My brother (who has stayed there before) told us that we'd love it - and love it we certainly did. We stopped in at the local liquor store and got a bottle of wine, and when we returned from Friday evening's events, we sat in the front parlor and had wine and great chat. The mornings have a free breakfast (it was lovely) and wonderful coffee. The rooms are HUGE and gorgeously appointed. I can't WAIT to return. Worth every penny and more!

We just got home from this beautiful historic Inn. From the moment we entered our beautiful room we loved it. The room was perfect. So beautiful and comfortable. The best shower I have ever used. Breakfast is included and delicious with great service and a very cozy breakfast area inside, or you can enjoy breakfast on the huge front porch with beautiful flowers overlooking the huge front lawn. Tea and coffee is available at all times as well as water coolers. When we arrived on a Friday, fresh chocolate chip cookies were being baked and available all evening. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The inn is in a beautiful location within safe (sidewalks all the way) walking distance to all the fabulous mansions, restaurants, shops, museums and the beautiful Ridgefield playhouse. We planned our trip around a performance there but thoroughly enjoyed walking all around town as well. We want to return someday!!
