Come to enchanting Essex - soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the scenery and…RELAX!

Located just one mile from the Inn, the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat offers passengers a way to experience the beauty of our area by land and by sea! The 2 1/2 hour excursion begins at the Essex station where you will board the Great Republic, an elegant 1920’s Parlor Car complete with beverage service and individual, plush swivel seats from which to take in the stunning scenery. The train transports passengers to the Becky Thatcher, a riverboat which travels up the Connecticut River to enjoy some of the most spectacular vistas in our area!

Sundays through Thursdays - $230 includes 2 first class tickets to ride

Fridays/Saturdays - $250 includes 2 first class tickets to ride

  • - an overnight stay in one of our charming standard accommodations
  • - two round-trip tickets for a "first class" excursion aboard the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat
  • - continental breakfast for two

As seating is limited in the Parlor Car, when making your room reservations, please specify the time at which you wish to begin your rail and riverboat adventure. Trains depart daily at 11:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Please ring 860.767.1776 for reservations.
