    Great Weekend Stay

    We stayed for Friday and Saturday taking time to explore the area; Mystic, Chester and Old Saybrook to name a few. Great area restaurants, take in a show at the Goodspeed or just sit by the water and relax. Unfortunately our weather did not cooperate, but the dock/bar/fire pit area are beautiful for a relaxing day by the water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!

    Half Way Point

    Haddam was the half-way point for my daughter who lives in Maine and we're from PA. The Haddam house was a perfect home away from home experience we needed to spend time together as a family. The bridge is under construction but other then that it was a great place and great stay. Thank you!

    Cottage Life

    Everything you need, and nothing that you don't! We stayed in this adorable little cottage for a month while remodeling our home. John was an amazing host; incredibly thoughtful and communicative (as needed.) I only wish that we were staying longer, into the warmer weather. The views of the river, Goodspeed Opera House and airport are ideal; peaceful morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs, and cozy evenings by the firepit make this a perfect little home away from home! The cottage is clean and tidy, tastefully decorated, with a well equipped kitchen, and the comfiest, fluffiest bed. I hope to stay again, even if just for a weekend! I highly recommend for your getaway.

    Cabin on the river-great location

    We enjoyed our stay at the Haddam House. The location was perfect as we attended a family wedding at the Gelston House across the bridge. The outdoor area was great and we had fun sipping drinks and spotting seaplanes landing. The location was near to all we needed with a grocery store and restaurants just a short distance away. This made a great base to explore the area and we visited the Old Essex, took a ride on the steam train/river boat, toured Gillette Castle and made a trip to the Lavendar Pond Farm in Killingworth. Thanks to the friendly neighbors that we met on a walk for the recommendations and tanks to host John for the good communication and enjoyable stay.

    Perfect Getaway!

    This property was awesome. Very cozy little house. Exceptionally clean and just enough for two people. The property is spotless and well kept. You could just feel the hospitality within the home. Our host John communicated very well. There is everything you need. The views of the CT River are beautiful. We had dinner at the Gelston House and saw a show at the Goodspeed which are just a 2 minute ride or 10 minute walk across the bridge. Great home for sure. Definitely five out of stars and more.

    Planes, Trains, and more!

    We love watching the planes take off and land at the Goodspeed airfield across the river from the cottage. This year we saw two helicopters and a sea plane in action too. On occasion the Essex Steamtrain can be heard in the distance. Plenty of boats and jet skis motor through the No Wake Zone. If you’re lucky you’ll see the swing bridge open to allow a sailboat to pass by the Opera House. Little Meadow Road offers a front row seat for constant entertainment!

    Great little place on the water!

    Loved this little house! Very cozy, in a fun spot right on the water. Small airfield across the river so you can sometimes catch some very small recreational aircraft taking off across the river which is really cool to watch. We went to hang out and cook -- and the kitchen is really lovely for how small the place is. If you want to do some intense cooking (we were here during the pandemic so eating out wasn't an option) you may want to bring some cooking utensils and baking sheets. Tons of pots and pans there however! The most fantastic part was I got home and realized we had left something with huge sentimental value at the location. The owners packed it up and shipped it quickly and turned down our offer to pay for shipping. Couldn't ask for better service!
