Connecticut family gathering
Lovely big “farm house” with amazing equipped gourmet kitchen, fabulous ‘great’ room, antique furnishings with modern amenities. I have never rented a better equipped place: paper towels, napkins enough plates, forks and tableware for the relatives! Beautiful and peaceful grounds in horse country. It snowed and the kids made snowmen. Since we live in warm climate it was an adventure for the kids. Enough wine glasses for all and a chef stove! Rent this for a long weekend in the country with the people you love and miss!

Everything We Needed
The house was wonderful for us — 3 couples, each with children under 2. All of the rooms were spread out and large, particularly the master bedroom. Lots of great places to relax, and the living room/den is incredible - fireplace, multiple sitting areas, tv, and comfy couches. Highly recommend for those staying with multiple families.
