The location and property were terrific, and the check-in process and communication with the host was as well. The house was very clean and homey, and was very family friendly. The view of the lake was beautiful in the morning, and we would absolutely stay there again.

The host was great and very responsive. Perfect set up for our family of 4 adults and two toddlers. The setting was so pretty, and the toys and fresh flowers were an extra bonus! We will definitely return when in the area.

The house was a perfect match for our stay with five adults. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and in a peaceful setting. Both the large sectional couch and the dining room table were perfect gathering places. There were not many options in Hamden and I am delighted that we found this property.

Charming and peaceful

Susan's home was comfortable for our family of 6 adults. Exactly what we look for in a short term rental. There were comfortable couches with enough room for all of us for gathering and a dining area that we could share family meals. The kitchen and bathroom were updated and had everything we needed. We had hoped to spend some time on the back porch overlooking the pond but it was a bit too chilly the weekend we visited. The neighborhood was quiet with walking areas just down the street. Perfect spot.

Perfect Accomodation ForOur Family

We reserved this property for our family, including two elderly family members. The house was immaculate. The single-floor layout was perfect for less mobile family members. It was stocked with everything one might need for a stay. We enjoyed watching the herons on the reservoir using the provided binoculars - right from the livingroom window! My husband hiked local trails, my brother rode bike trails for over 30 miles, and my Dad kayaked the reservoir. So much to do! The owner responded very quickly to any messages from the moment we booked until we checked out. The entire rental experience was perfect, enabling us to enjoy a worry-free, very special family weekend. I highly recommend this property, and I am hoping we have an excuse to go back!
