Thank you for being our guests. We hope you come back.
Location was perfect , property was beautiful and the tiny house was a much better choice than a motel room. Peaceful mornings and quiet nights while being close to amenities — Guilford Lobster pound,etc I walked to shell beach and highly recommend 1928 Speakeasy in downtown Branford . I would definitely stay again
Quiet weekend get away. Lovely property, beautifully designed little guest house. This was our third stay and we have kind of fallen in love with it. Great locatoin to town and beach.. we love sitting on the little deck in the morning with our coffee. Cant wait to go back.

Emily was a great guest. She left the guest house very tidy and was very communicative about her arrival and departure plans. She is welcome back anytime.
This property is well maintained, clean and quiet. It is located in a beautiful location, outside of town yet a short ten minute drive to outstanding restaurants and the village green. Highly recommended.
This is such a lovely house in a very serene setting. The house is very clean and modern with lots of interesting art and books to look at. The hosts have thought of everything in terms of amenities.

Thank you Heather. Thanks for leaving the place so tidy.
This small, beautifully designed guest house shares three acres with the owner's residence. The guest house is tucked away in the corner of the property with beautiful views and plenty of privacy. Both the building and the interior design were modern and outstanding. The small kitchen area includes a sink, coffee and tea set up, small well stocked refrigerator and complementary snacks and beverages. I believe there may be a grill available in the summer but our weather was too cold for grilling and we had take out or went out to a few of the many great restaurants in Guilford. We loved our stay and will try to stay here again when we are in the area.
