Truly an icon, the Old Lyme Inn, set on 1.87 acres, is an integral part of the heart and history of Old Lyme Village. With over 11,000 square feet of beautifully appointed dining, lounging and living space this is a a rare opportunity. This picturesque Inn, built in 1850, is across the street from the famous Florence Griswold Inn and Old Lyme Art Association, walking distance to the Lyme Art Academy and to the center of the historic village, once home to the American Impressionists. With 13 graciously appointed guest rooms and adjacent to I95, the Inn is ideally located halfway between Boston and New York. The Inn is noted for its elegant fine dining room with excellent cuisine, a perfect spot for rehearsal dinners, weddings, corporate get togethers, family holiday meals and romantic dinners. An intimate dining room is located in a private room off the main entry. With its warm decor, this is a prefect place for smaller parties such as special birthday celebrations. The lovely and welcoming Bar/Grill area is famous for its steaks, drinks and locally grown oysters. A lovely living room/library in the rear of the Inn, recently built, has a fireplace and lots of comfortable seating. Outside, a beautiful outside brick patio is perfect for al fresco dining. The Inn is set well back from historic Lyme St, with an elegant wrought iron fence and lovely plantings. This Inn and restaurant holds a special place in the hearts of the entire lower Connecticut River valley population, drawing on a disparate and lively local community.
