About Legends Bed & Breakfast
Legends Bed & Breakfast is a family-run lodge located on the banks of the Farmington River in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. Nestled in the woods and designed as a peaceful escape, the lodge offers a welcoming retreat for fly fishermen, outdoor enthusiasts, and guests simply looking to unplug and recharge in nature.
Angling in Connecticut
For anglers, Legends provides easy access to one of Connecticut’s most renowned trout rivers, allowing more time on the water and less time traveling. For non-anglers, it’s a quiet, restorative getaway—a place to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and step away from the pace of everyday life. Whether your days are spent fishing, hiking, or relaxing by the river, Legends offers a setting that encourages rest, connection, and renewal.
Shaped by decades of hospitality and a deep appreciation for fly fishing and the outdoors, Legends Bed & Breakfast reflects the character of a classic New England fishing lodge. Natural wood finishes, cozy shared spaces, and riverfront surroundings create an atmosphere that feels rustic, comfortable, and intentionally calm.

The property features six guest rooms, inviting common areas, direct river access, and flexible accommodations for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups. Every element of the lodge has been carefully considered to support a comfortable and memorable stay—whether guests are returning from a day on the Farmington River or enjoying a quiet evening indoors.
Each morning, guests are offered a continental-style breakfast, included with their stay. Breakfast typically includes hard-boiled eggs, coffee cake, fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels and breads for toasting, and hot oatmeal prepared with on-demand hot water, along with coffee and tea. It’s a simple, satisfying way to start the day before heading out or easing into the morning.
