Amazing property, Lovely host
5 of us stayed here for a week while we were at an event nearby. The place is gorgeous, huge, impecably clean, and for our purposes very convenient. We particularly appreciated the nice touches of a bottle of wine and some snacks, and the large and very functional washing machine/dryer setup, We’re immediately trying to rebook for a trip next year!. We met the host once during our stay and they delightfully gave us a tour and he made sure everything was going well. Lovely to have a VRBO experience so friendly.

Incredible gem in the woods!
This was my second time staying at this extraordinary property. The spacious home and grounds are impeccable and well-appointed (we particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and huge backyard), and it’s minutes away from great hiking trails (we found the wolf’s den!) and a distillery that was an experience in itself. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Excellent getaway
This property is a great getaway from a busy schedule. My family and I only went a few days for my sister’s wedding nearby, but we fell in love with the property. It is a little far from supermarkets/gas stations but it wasn’t a problem to us. It rather added to its beauty, since you can actually relax without hearing noises from traffic. The house is clean and completely equipped with anything you could need and the host is readily available in case you have doubts or need help. We would definitely choose this property again whenever we visit Connecticut.
