You'll find the Chipman Inn in Ripton, 30 minutes south of New Haven. Rates at this inn include a cooked breakfast. There are no restaurants in Ripton, but if you drive three miles west towards Middlebury, you'll find diners and delis on the edge of town, and the innkeepers can make recommendations.
