Great location - fun property

Gerard was a great host with excellent communication, perhaps one of the most attentive that I’ve ever experienced. The rental is just as cute as the pictures and centrally located to wonderful restaurants and shopping. I made the assumption while booking that the small couch was a pullout, it is not. The reference to a twin bed is a blowup. There is everything you need to cook meals. Great stay!!

Family visit

We had a lovely stay in this adorable and comfortable studio while in town to visit family. It is beautifully decorated and has a lot of natural light. It is conveniently located on the Post Road close to everything but has a serene out in nature feeling to it. I loved stepping outside to see the beautiful scenes of deer grazing in the meadow behind the building.
