We enjoyed a magical four-day visit at the Zen House. The property was so lovely, it was hard to leave! I only wish it was a shorter drive to a beach. Of course, that would probably raise the price.Olga was a spectacular host. Loved the private pool.

Very attentive host! Olga is very passionate about being the caretaker for the historic Zenhouse. She gave my wife and I a tour of the property and grounds the day before check-in to make sure all went smoothly. I booked this property for my in-laws flying in from India. They enjoyed their 2 week stay here. It feels like a secluded hideaway, but it’s only a couple minutes from town and anything you might need.

A peaceful retreat

It was such a joy to spend the week at Zen House. The property is lovely in such a tranquil setting, it’s impossible not to be relaxed within hours of being there. Olga, the owner, was so warm and friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. My wife loved the pool and found it rejuvenating to lose herself in a daily swim. The house was easy to get to from our home in NYC and we can’t wait to return.

Warm & Serene Weekend Getaway

Pre-stay communication was excellent, with our host contacting me with suggestions for outings (I asked). Our host met us, gave us a tour of the property - not just the living space but the grounds, too. The house is cozy, well thought out and has small touches like a deck of cards (in case you have a couple of minutes of downtime), a beautiful tea set with a variety of delicious teas to use. The house is thoughtfully decorated, the couch and bed are comfortable and there is plenty of space for two people. We had a wonderful weekend getaway and we look forward to future opportunities to visit.

AMAZING!

You know that a place is truly special when after being there for only a few hours you're already planning your next stay. The property is absolutely stunning and Olga is an outstanding host who has the ability to appear only when you need something. The massage I had in the garden (Olga arranged this too) was incredible and the perfect start to what was a truly special trip. I'm anticipating a return to the area on a regular basis, and the first thing I'll do every time is look to see if this is available.

A Slice of Tranquility in North Stamford

One could not ask for a more thoughtfully and elegantly appointed, self-contained oasis. If hibernating is your thing, one need not leave the property, as any meal can be provided upon request. However, should you wish to venture out, you're a stone's throw from fine restaurants; a grocery store; shops of all kinds; and naturalistic and historic attractions. And the pool...it's huge and heated! The icing on the cake, though, is your host Olga, who exudes a passion for the property and its history, thereby making the stay that much more special. Just book it already!

Lovely house, location and hosts!

We spent a beautiful Memorial Day weekend at the Modern Zen House. Olga is a caring, conscientious and generous host. She was helpful and accessible from the time we booked through our departure. The house is divine with an incredibly comfortable king size bed, two large full bathrooms with plenty of fluffy white towels, and a well-equipped kitchen. The living space is large and airy and totally inspiring. We enjoyed sitting poolside reading and listening to the birds, it was a truly restorative retreat. This is the kind of place that is so great you don't want anyone else to know about it, but then, that wouldn't be very zen!

Beautiful Location

This was such a great experience with this property. We were filming an interview for a documentary film; Olga understood how film shoots work, was supportive and on hand for anything that we needed. She even made a very tired crew espressos. The house was exactly as advertised, and the grounds were stunning -- crew enjoyed being able to spread out and soak in the nature. The one note for future productions is that in winter, you can hear the traffic on Rte 15. But we were filming indoors and used sound blankets and were fine.

Zen House

It's unfortunate that my husband and I had such little time to be on the property of Zen House during our stay because I think the grounds offer beautiful walks. The host, Olga, was very kind in providing us with waters, drinks, fruits, teas, pastries, etc. This is not very often the case with a vrbo. My one oversight was not realizing there was no TV; I am a news junkie so I had to revert to my laptop. I guess this is why it's called Zen House!

Beautiful property with calm, cleanliness, and serenity coming to mind, although many other qualificatives deserve to be part of this list. And most importantly, the hosts are not only great people but they also have mastered the art of making the guests feel special! A must go!

Beautiful Zen setting and studio with a doe and two fawn grazing on the grounds.

This is a lovely private Japanese style house with a wonderful pool. The views and tranquil, private and gorgeous. The owner is exceptionally kind and thoughtful. We could not turn one wall heater outside the bedroom off, so we slept with the accordion door closed and the AC on in the bedroom. Also, we never mastered the coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay in the studio and surrounding village and countryside.
