Carleton-Willard's David Fitch House, a historic bed-and-breakfast-style inn located just across the street from the Village's main entrance, extends a warm welcome to Residents' friends, children, and grandchildren. It's also a delightful home base for prospective Residents who want to spend a few days getting a feel for Village life.

      Two twin and three queen rooms, named and decorated to reflect the splendor of Village gardens, surround travelers in floral hues and classic furnishings. Queen rooms have adjacent private baths; a private bath for each twin room is located just down the hall. In the game room, guests can cozy up to a crackling fire and a round of Monopoly or Chinese checkers. A dining room and modern kitchen are open for guest use.

      A stay at the Fitch House comes with complimentary self-service continental breakfast, jitney service throughout the Village, a standing invitation to our Abbott Dining Room (by reservation), and admission to all Village amenities and activities (except those requiring prior registration).

      For guests' safety and convenience, the House includes an elevator, Lifeline® communicators in every chamber room, a personal help button in each bathroom, and additional communicators in common areas. In keeping with Village policy, the David Fitch House is a smoke-free environment.
