The holidays are in full swing in Stonington, CT, and nothing says coastal Christmas quite like the Stonington Lobster Trap Tree! This community favorite has become a cherished tradition, and this year, we’re thrilled to share that Margin Street Inn is part of the magic.

Our Buoy: A Special Margin Street Inn Touch
This year, we’re proud to have our own buoy featured on the tree! 🎨 Hand-painted by our very own Sarah, this buoy celebrates the inn with a creative twist. Inspired by our famous Frittata (offered in both egg and pup-friendly versions!), Sarah brought her artistic flair to life with this one-of-a-kind design.
Whether it’s the delicious breakfasts served daily at the inn or treats for our four-legged guests, this buoy represents what we’re all about: hospitality, creativity, and a love for all things coastal.
