Lorelai Gilmore's house in Stars Hollow. Stars Hollow is a fictional town in Connecticut featured on the television show Gilmore Girls. It is depicted as a close-knit community with many quirky characteristics, located roughly thirty minutes from Hartford.
For seven seasons Gilmore Girls enchanted us with witty repartee, quirky characters and the allure of small-town life. But the trials and tribulations of said small-town life wouldn't be the same without such an enchanting setting. Rory and Lorelai's story is long over, but Stars Hollow lives on. Show-creator Amy Sherman-Palladino dreamt up the New England hamlet while vacationing at the Mayflower Inn (now known as the Mayflower Grace) in Washington, Connecticut.
