The home was a perfect retreat for a quiet night in while visiting our daughter at UConn. Despite being a pet-friendly property, you’d never know there was ever a pet in the house. Everything was exceptionally clean, orderly and comfortable. Would highly recommend

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property! It is newly renovated and beautifully furnished. Our young children loved finding all of the “silly” frogs featured throughout the home, and we loved the historic maps of the area. The owners really thought of everything when stocking the kitchen, and added touches throughout to make your stay more comfortable. The dimming lights, USB outlets, and built-in bathroom Bluetooth speaker were very nice extras. The kids loved the yard, eating outside on the deck, and the Roku TV. It was a homey and comfortable place to return to everyday. Karl was an incredibly responsive and welcoming host. A truly wonderful experience all around, and highly recommend!

I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs over the years, but this one in Willimantic is by far the best experience I’ve ever had. The house had absolutely everything we needed and more, they even had brand new deck furniture ready for us to enjoy.The bed was hands-down the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in at a VRBO or hotel, and the whole environment just felt welcoming and relaxing. At night, you could hear the frogs out in the woods, which gave such a unique and peaceful vibe, it really made the stay memorable.The owners clearly care about keeping the place in top shape and making sure guests feel at home. It was also the cleanest ever. I can honestly say this is the most amazing VRBO I’ve been to, and I would come back in a heartbeat.
