We enjoyed out stay at Lynn's house. Lynn and her husband are attentive hosts who also give you space. Checking in by just coming in to an unlocked house and the key waiting for you on a mantel brought the memory of the good old times. The property is in a quiet area, with the river and some fabulous old trees. The house is clean and equipped with everything that we needed for our weekend stay.

We loved staying at this adorable cottage that fully fit all 5 of us (adults). The place has everything you need! Even honey for my daughter's tea! The beds were great and the washer and dryer were a plus! A beautiful quiet setting was convenient for our adventures in Waterford and New London. And the hosts were so wonderful and helpful. We loved Poppy too. Thanks again, Lynn!! We will be back.
