We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house is enormous and having a Teslacharger so far away from superchargers saved us. We were sad. We didn’t have more time to enjoy the property I didn’t bring my dog, but a fully fenced in yard is hard to find - if I return to the area, I would definitely stay here again.
Propery was great! They have a ping pong table, a little basketball game, badminton And volleyball net. 80"TV.The roads to the house are windy and the driveway is slim. So just be ware of that. Hostess was great with communication

About the host
Hosted by Shawnellen Krajcik
I am originally from Huntington Beach, California. I moved to Connecticut in 1986.I ran a Child Care business for 47 years in California and Connecticut combined. During that time, I also ran in RV Rental business here in New England. Closed both of those businesses and decided my retirement job would be hosting Airbnb and Vrbo vacation homes. I have one in Louisiana it is called 4000 ft.² of paradise on a lake and this one is 4000 ft.² of paradise in a Forest. It is a very busy Job to pick for a retirement job lol. But I love it!
Why they chose this property
Being from the beach in Huntington Beach, California, I would always want to visit a forest. My husband and I had four children and I just did not want them to grow up in the LA area because it’s so hard of a life. So I picked Connecticut and bought the house deep in the forest. It is so quiet out here and gorgeous!
