The Bow House is a beautifully restored two-story bowstring truss home that blends historic New England charm with modern comfort. Original architectural details and thoughtfully curated antique-inspired décor celebrate the home's rich heritage, while updated heating and cooling systems, modern appliances, high-speed internet, and comfortable mattresses ensure a relaxing stay. With four televisions, dedicated spaces for work and play, and flexible gathering areas, The Bow House is especially well-suited for families, friend groups, and multi-generational getaways.

Located at the eastern end of Niantic Village's charming Main Street, The Bow House sits at the gateway to the Niantic Marina and alongside the Marina Bay Hotel. Depending on the season, you may enjoy the sounds of live music drifting through the village, boats returning to harbor, or the gentle rhythm of Long Island Sound waves nearby.

Niantic is one of Connecticut's best-kept coastal secrets. Unlike many seasonal beach towns, it remains a vibrant year-round community filled with locally owned shops, restaurants, and attractions. Guests can spend the day exploring the famous Book Barn, a beloved independent bookstore spread across several whimsical locations throughout town. Stroll Main Street to discover bakeries, coffee shops, antique stores, ice cream parlors, pubs, and waterfront dining ranging from casual seafood shacks to upscale restaurants.

Within walking distance of the house, you'll find McCook Point Park and Beach, Hole-in-the-Wall Beach, the Niantic Bay Boardwalk, and numerous opportunities for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The village also hosts seasonal festivals, farmers markets, outdoor concerts, community theater productions, and local live music throughout the year.

The Bow House is ideally positioned for exploring the Connecticut shoreline. Historic Mystic, Mystic Aquarium, Mystic Seaport, Old Saybrook, Essex, and Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino are all within a short drive. Whether you're seeking beaches, history, shopping, entertainment, or outdoor adventure, you'll find it nearby.

One of Niantic's most unique advantages is its accessibility. Guests can easily arrive by train via Amtrak, Shore Line East, or Metro-North connections and enjoy a completely car-free vacation. Restaurants, beaches, shopping, entertainment, and recreation are all within walking distance of the house. If you'd like assistance planning your trip, we're happy to help coordinate travel from anywhere along the Northeast rail corridor.

Whether you're escaping city life for a long weekend, gathering family for a seaside holiday, or simply looking to slow down and enjoy Connecticut's shoreline, The Bow House offers a memorable home base in the heart of Niantic Village.
