Hotels in Kent

A quintessential New England escape where covered bridges and white church steeples punctuate the rolling Litchfield Hills. The Appalachian Trail cuts through town, offering day hikers spectacular vistas without requiring a month-long commitment. Kent Falls cascades dramatically over limestone ledges, while the Housatonic River provides gentle kayaking adventures past meadows where bald eagles perch with surprising nonchalance. Art lovers flock to Morrison Gallery's contemporary works, housed in a building that somehow manages to be both modern and perfectly at home among colonial structures. Macedonia Brook State Park rewards modest climbing effort with views that explain why wealthy weekenders have been quietly buying property here for generations.
