The Whaler’s Inn is honored to be included in the latest issue of The Yolo Journal. The magazine’s founder, Yolanda Edwards, reached out to her well-traveled connections for advice on places to stay throughout the US. The magazine contributors selected our inn as their top pick of places to stay in Connecticut.

“Right on the water, steps from three great restaurants (the Oyster Club is my favorite) and walking distance to a bookstore, it’s the kind of inn you always hope will be in a small town, but rarely is.”-Stephen Ringer

Yolanda’s goal is to share travel tips with others so they can enjoy their trip without an influx of confusing information, “I’m a forever lover of the printed page, and I think, in a very noisy landscape where we are inundated with images and information, to be able to sit down with a magazine, that speaks to you, and isn’t filled with loads of distracting ads, is something we all want.”-Yolanda Edwards

Yolanda is the former creative director of Condé Nast Traveler and continues to share her travel knowledge with the world through Yolo Journal.
