Family weekend

Our family stayed at this property while enjoying family weekend at UConn. The home was a nice distance between campus and fun activities. The house was clean and well stocked with amenities. We missed having a hot tub as was the reason we chose this home, but the views in the backyard were beautiful. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Girl’s weekend

The house & property were amazing (close to everything)…the creek & waterfall were absolutely mesmerizing, it was so nice to sit out & drink our coffee with the water rushing by…only downside as there was no hot tub as listed. Also my dogs loved it too

Perfect gathering spot

We traveled to CT for a memorial service with a group of friends. This was the perfect size of place and it was perfectly located for us to meet up with others. Would stay here again! We enjoyed all of the extras that made us smile.
