"This was our third stay here. That should say it all! Deirdre’s home is the perfect home away from home. Her home is so comfort. As soon as you walk in the door, you will know you made the right decision. Everything you could need from a rental home is here, and more. Deirdre is always available if you need to communicate with her for any reason. Set away from the town center, so you have quiet and peace…but close enough to town if you need groceries, shopping, dining, medical care, banking, etc…"

"Olga was a great host!"

"Absolutely charming, well appointed, spotless, and cozy apartment. Exceeded expectations and the hosts were wonderful."

"We had a lovely experience. I particularly enjoyed the community breakfast table. The other guest were wonderful as were the conversations (hosts included)."

"This place is something really special."

"Every step of the way from initial inquiries to farewell messages was a delight. Questions were kindly and promptly answered, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind about our stay even before we arrived.The Ice Cream cottage was everything we could have hoped for and more. All the little things that make traveling a breeze are here: plenty of (shaded!) parking, easy access, great air conditioning (we visited in the summer), wonderful wifi, impeccable cleanliness, fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and luxurious towels.For a "small" cottage, the layout is perfect for families. There are plenty of comfortable places for everyone to relax together or alone.We were looking for a place where our dogs would be welcome and have space to play. The Ice Cream cottage is a dream come true! The huge fenced-in yard was dog heaven and a delight for the humans, too--not a sign of a pesky gnat or mosquito! Over three days and many hours outside with the dogs, we never found a single tick. The covered porch was perfect for relaxing meals as the dogs safely explored the yard.New Canaan has plenty of options for delicious food, and while we did get takeaway one night, we prepared our own food the rest of the time. There are great market choices from large chains to an excellent local grocery store. We needed an urgent pharmacy visit at 3:00 a.m. during our visit, and there is a 24-hour CVS only 20 minutes away.We're looking forward to visiting again!"

"The house was the perfect place for our family to stay, regroup and relax during a busy week of wedding activities. We enjoyed the fabulous kitchen, large gathering areas, big bedrooms with comfy beds and would definetly come again."
