In a picturesque nook of Branford sits a hidden gem of the Connecticut shoreline – The Owenego. Laid back in spirit and playful in nature, the “O” as we are lovingly known, is a family-oriented beach and tennis club, where guests can swim, kayak, play tennis, or simply lounge on the lawn. Having welcomed guests since 1847, the Inn is quintessentially New England, offering charming, cottage-themed accommodations that invite guests to unplug and unwind.
The O caters all types of celebratory gatherings, and specializes in casually elegant, beachfront weddings. The views offered by this historic establishment are surpassed only by the kitchen’s fine cuisine and staff’s hospitable service. Come explore the O to discover why some guests come for a day and join for a lifetime.
COME FOR A DAY….
JOIN FOR A LIFETIME.
DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

beautiful, the best of the shoreline. It is simple, affordable, fun,
friendly, and low key with no pretenses. Kids can safely be kids and their
parents don't have to worry. Adults can be adults, relax with a beer or
drink on the lawn taking in the beauty, watching their kids or grandkids,
and connecting with friends and neighbors from the community. The special
events are fun for the whole family, of high quality, and much better than
cooking at home! And there is nothing better than finishing a summer
evening at the Hungry Dog. The O has been an important place for our
family since we moved to Branford 15 years ago. Can't wait for another
season!"

My husband and I were at our daughter’s orientation at Quinnipiac and after a long day we were looking for a place to stay. We tend to stay away from the chain hotels when we are traveling and luckily stumbled upon your place. Lucky for is it was Thursday night and you had rooms available. We were welcomed with a smile and that continued right through checkout the next morning. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and having a drink and quick bite to eat before heading up to room. The wait staff was gracious and gave us lots of suggestions on what to do the next time we were in town. The room was cozy and clean and quiet! It was just a perfect night!
You have something special and can’t wait to be back!!"
