If it’s possible, Kent just got even more attractive as a perfect getaway destination in CT! The Kent Collection is a collection of three very unique, very cool properties now available to rent in the heart of town! Once you’re inside any of these boutique lodgings, you’ll be whisked away to somewhere luxurious, comfortable, welcoming, and super stylish (we took many interior design notes!).
Here’s our stay at The Firefly Inn!

Welcome to The Firefly Inn!
Located within walking distance of all the Kent retail/restaurants/gallery action on Main Street. We were charmed from the minute we pulled into the driveway!
The Firefly Inn has rooms and suites for up to 18 guests. We had rooms next door to each other – perfect!
So many pretty details we lost count!
Everything at The Firefly Inn is stylish, welcoming, and very photogenic, a combo you gotta love!
We absolutely fell in love with the Tea Room where we found gourmet coffee, teas, snacks, treats, and muffins. Besides the complimentary yummies and the gorgeous window nook…we are still trying to decide where we can put THE WALLPAPER 😍 in our own homes.
Take a breath
Despite being so close to the center of Kent, The Firefly Inn is on two peaceful acres set back from the main road. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside in the evening after our feast at The Fife ‘n Drum. And the cherry on the cake…actual fireflies dancing around us in the warm summer eve!
Which one appeals to you?!
You can peruse The Kent Collection here!
But in an Unlocking nutshell:
- The Firefly Inn – Classic, country, modern, and so easy to feel at home!
- The Victorian – Contemporary Victorian. The Wedding Suite made us gasp!
- The Garden Cottages – There’s a modern cabin with original beams called The Little House; The Train Car, a fantastic 1800s modernized train carriage (OMG!!); and The Bunk House, a 1900s barn that belongs in Architectural Digest.
Whichever you choose, you can opt for self-check-in at your leisure, or meet Innkeeper Keli at The Firefly Inn for as much or as little as you need – she’s there to help you have the best stay ever!
The Tea Room
Again, we love.
Be entertained, or just be still for a while
In the sitting room at The Firefly Inn, you’ll find comfy spots to curl up with a book or watch some Netflix, a Baby Grand (perfect for special events), games, and peace & quiet – priceless.
Just down the road…
It took us 5 minutes to walk to the Fife ‘n Drum for dinner, and another 5 minutes to be right in the center of Kent’s main shopping/dining drag. Want to see what’s around? Check out our past Kent features here!
Make sure you experience the Fife ‘n Drum Restaurant while you’re in town
You’re in for a treat when you dine at the Fife ‘n Drum. Around for 50 years, they serve a delicious seasonal menu, offer some specialties made table-side (the Caesar salad is a must!), and have a Wine Spectator Award-winning wine list.
Thanks for having us!
We may have to play The Kent Collection bingo and stay at all of them!
