Nearby Chester Village is reknowned as an eclectic melting pot where artists, artisans, writers, actors, foodies, followers of fashion, farmer's market devotees, captains of industry and fifth generation natives all mingle on a Main Street ripped straight from a Hollywood movie lot built to evoke the perfect New England small town. To-die-for restaurants, coffee shops and useful boutiques beckon. Just ten minutes of country drive will bring you through Deep River to Essex village, steeped in a rich seafaring history and graced by well-preserved period homes, yacht clubs and marinas. Whether out exploring, or sitting home watching the river roll by, life is good here. Only a bit over two hours to NYC or Boston.
