Sunrise over the bay

The location and amenities exceeded our expectations. Beautiful setting, great neighborhood, friendly neighbors and perfect location for our itinerary. And the weather couldn’t have been better-though it was a little early for fall colors.

Beautiful location on the river

We really enjoyed our stay and would return. Was a great place for our family to gather when we visited for a family wedding. Enjoyed the views, swimming in the pool and sitting out on the deck. The home was equipped with several pool floats which we really appreciated.

Great location! Pool was added bonus

The house itself was clean and spacious, and is clearly cared for by the owner. The included amenities provided everything we needed, from beach towels to tools for our lobster night! The pool was a huge hit with the kids and they enjoyed taking the walk to the private beach and small playground. Overall it was a great week even with a few rainy days. We will definitely come back!

Just right!

We love the location of this home as it has wonderful views, access to the river, hiking, and fun activities in the neighborhood such as tennis and bocci. The home itself is always well stocked- you can even bake! It's comfortable and great for a large family as there's plenty of room to spread out or come together for fun family games. Would recommend to everyone.

Great house for a family vacation - Five Stars!!!

We rented this house for a family vacation 4th of July week. The house was great, right on the water with a pool, plenty of space and bedrooms for 5 adults and 2 young adults (with extra beds if we needed them). The house was stocked with everything from dishes, to cookware to spices. Centrally located to fun things to do in the area. Thank you, Barbara!!!!

Family friendly home with a beautiful view

We had a wonderful stay at Barb's home. It was exactly as described and extremely clean! The kids had a wonderful time in the pool which was kept clean and in order throughout the week. You can tell she took every little detail into consideration, down to the handwritten welcome note... it really felt like we were staying with family. She was super helpful and responsive and we'd gladly stay again.

Beautiful retreat in CT

This is our 2nd stay in this beautiful property on the water. It is spacious and nicely decorated with a spectacular view of the river just about everywhere. Kitchen is large and well stocked. This is one of my go-to places when I fly in from north Florida to see my daughter and granddaughters that live in CT. The owner Barbara is very responsive and attentive. Highly recommend it.
