Daniel Rust House

My husband and I just spent our 10th anniversary weekend here. Cathy and Germaine are the best hosts and made us feel right at home with thoughtful touches like homemade cookies. The house itself is gorgeous, filled with antique furniture, and somehow immaculately kept. I don’t know how these two ladies keep such a historic home so clean but they do! The room we stayed in, the Anna White room, had a working fireplace and a huge jetted tub. Breakfast each morning was beautifully plated and delicious. We can’t wait to go back!

Our stay at the Daniel Rust House was fantastic! This historic site has a very interesting story. The hosts Cathy and Germaine were so welcoming and helpful. The breakfast selection was amazing and delicious.

I had a wonderful stay at the Daniel Rust House. The hosts are so welcoming that it is easy to feel well. Breakfast was delicious, the room quiet and cozy and the location within nature and forest invites you to go for a walk.

The Daniel Rust House is a "must stay" for those visiting Coventry. The gardens are beautiful, the house is full of history, and Cathy and Germaine are warm, inviting and great conversationalists. The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed, better than many B&Bs. We stayed in the cottage and had the convenience of cooking a few meals. But the best part of our stay was the delicious breakfasts: banana bread or another baked good to start, juice, coffee and always a choice between two hot breakfast entrees. I had a delicious smoked salmon scramble one morning. The meals were first class, so much better than most hotel breakfasts. But most of all Cathy and Germaine were delightful -- we hope to return when next in Connecticut. Lastly, there are many nice hiking trails nearby, historic sites

My husband suffers from narcolepsy, so while he was napping in Maybell’s Cottage, I was planning to enjoy a book in in the common room front of the fireplace as depicted in photos. However, upon arrival we were told that someone was visiting with dogs, so if we weren’t dog people (we are cat people), we weren’t to come inside the inn, but stay in the cottage. Then we were told we could not have a fire in our room, despite “working fireplaces” being advertised. The only heat in the cottage was from two portable heaters, and it was rather dark in that room. Also, we booked the cottage for the king-sized bed. I had mentioned on the phone that I had a tall husband, thus the need for the king bed. I would have appreciated being told how low the ceiling was to go through the small kitchenette to
