This was our second time having a small family reunion at the Eden Hill estate. It is the perfect place for us to get together. A great sitting room and kitchen along with a large dining room that accomodates everyone.

Thank you Luke for your lovely review and for being a wonderful guest. Please think of us again.
We are happy you were able to return to Eden Hill Farm.
We had a terrific stay at this lovely and comfortable home. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in a home in the Newtown area. Everything about our stay was great!
Don’t miss a visit (or more than one!) to Ferris Acres Creamery for ice cream!
The whole group had a great time, with plenty of space to either have a large group doing things together or for everyone to do their separate things in peace. Great location with plenty of activities close by that can accommodate all ages.

We are always happy when large family’s can get together comfortably. We were able to add a main floor queen bedroom next to a full bathroom as requested when you booked. Hopefully other groups who need to avoid stairs will enjoy this as well.

Beautiful property! Loved to setting and the home.
We had a wonderful time at this lovely home in Newtown. Lots of great restaurants around and delicious pizza delivered! We enjoyed the fire pit outside and wished the indoor fireplaces were operable. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room accommodated 12 of us. All beds comfortable and cozy.

The cooler weather had just arrived for your stay, we apologize for the
fireplace giving you trouble. We have had the fireplace repaired
right after you checked out. I was sorry we couldn't get that done during your

What a wonderful space to getaway from the city for a long weekend with friends! The house was incredibly spacious, clean, warm, and inviting. We especially enjoyed the patio and fire pit. We had everything we needed, plus communication was super smooth with our wonderful host. The clear directions around the house were very helpful and the property was enjoyed by all. Would absolutely return for another weekend with our friends and family-- highly recommend!

Grandchildren's getaway
The house was perfect for our little getaway with our 7 grown grandchildren with plenty of space for everyone. The house, and the kitchen in particular, were well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The house manager, Jamie, was very sweet, welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely weekend/
The house and property were wonderful, well maintained and supplied. The owner and her house manager were very helpful and informative. This was a family reunion of sorts and it worked out well having enough bedrooms and plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play in. I would rent it again.

Perfect home for our family getaway
A beautiful, large home with all the amenities. Enough common area for everyone to be together and plenty of bedrooms for all to be comfortable. Far and away the nicest home we have rented for our annual family getaway with all the kids and grandchildren. Having Jaime meet us there at check-in and show us around was not only very helpful, it made us feel very welcome. Would most definitely come back.

About the host
Hosted by Janet Shaw
We are a large family who love getting together as much a possible. We enjoy the outdoors, travel, cooking, working and relaxing. We spent many years restoring this home, adding a huge addition. We are continually landscaping and keeping this home in pristine condition.
Why they chose this property
A full restoration was completed in 2014, adding the amenities and additional 3200 square feet of master suite & bath, kitchen, media room, other bathrooms, etc. We installed patios and outside eating areas for family gatherings. As far as location...it's great, town is only minutes away, and offers everything one needs. Still close to NYC. 18 miles from the Ocean, 9 miles to I84 & I95, 12 minutes to Merritt PKY. oh, another thing, aside from being a horse area, with a riding stable two doors away, we have "The Big Sky" for star gazing, wonderful all year. When it comes to winter, we are a wonderland. Sit by the fire, inside or outside. Truly a special place to be.
What makes this property unique
This home is large with 14 rooms that home allows families to gather in many areas, (2) living rooms, (6) bedrooms, plus (1) additional bedroom upon request(guest house), (1) large dinning room, (4) full bathrooms, (2) patios out side one with a gas lit fire pit, and one wood burning fire pit with seating, grill, teak table that seats 12, corn hole, & basket ball area, level 4.5 acre perfectly landscaped lawn to play, gardens, fruit trees, blue stone patios... The lower media recreation room with has a private bath and glass sliders to a private patio, Ping Pong, Sleeps 12. Beautiful property, Elegant, romantic, luxurious estate with every amenity.
