The Nehemiah Brainerd House is a beautifully restored 18th century home. The main house and two guest houses are situated in the Haddam Historic District on five park-like acres on a bluff above the Connecticut River. Located just five minutes from the historic Goodspeed Opera House, a short distance from Gillette Castle State Park, and the historic town of Essex, the Brainard House is also conveniently located just two hours midway between Boston and New York City. Winner of Yankee Magazine's Best of New England, and behind a stand of tall pines, the Laurel Cottage Guest House has been restored and expanded while still maintaining its 1932 charm: original pine paneling, reproduction wallpaper, fully equipped kitchen, great room with fireplace, and stone patio. The views from the sunroom across the CT River are spectacular. Built in 2015 in traditional New England style to compliment the eighteenth century architecture of the main house, the Carriage House has two bedrooms, & a fully equipped kitchen. The Great Room with its soaring cathedral ceiling provides a spacious lounging and eating area with beautifully appointed furnishings, and a gas-fired fireplace as the focal point. French doors from the Great Room open to a large deck for al fresco dining with sweeping views of the Connecticut River. The Carriage House can accommodate up to six guests with the addition of a comfortable full size sofa bed.
