Wonderful Stay
This property is just what we were looking for. It was very clean and well stocked with every supply we needed. We were in town for a wedding and couldn't have happier with the location. The welcome bottle of wine waiting for us was a nice touch. Since we are from Connecticut originally and visit family often, we will definitely be staying at this quaint rental every time we travel.

Perfect Place for a small family
The communications prior to our stay were seamless and quick. The house was just as pictured but a little bit better! The place was spotless and extremely well maintained. The Welcome book was full of suggestions for things to do in the area and instructions for the TV, Wi-Fi and thermostat. When we visit CT again, we will definitely see if it is available again.

Not the best night sleep
Main bed (queen) was not the most comfortable. Spent one night listening to something inside the wall scratching. Guessing it was a mouse but it was on and off all night. Final night we were just about to sleep when the neighbor came home and listed to them for a while. Don’t think they were super loud but clearly not insulated well as we could hear them talking, using the restroom and showering. Disappointing as we really only used the place to sleep as we visited family during the day.
The host we spoke to was nice and accommodated an hour early checkin.

Sweet and Simple :)
Everything about the property was a good experience. Finding the location and getting into the property was very simple. I also like the added "survival guide" the owner left for us for things in the area and contact information. Next time I'm in the area, this will be the first property I look to stay at while I'm there.

A weekend in Litchfield County
Friends and I stayed while visiting Litchfield County.
Exceptionally clean, seemed newly renovated. The wine on the table was a welcome plus.
