Litchfield-Hot Tub-Shops & Eats-Vineyards-Hikes
Took a getaway to Martin's cottage for a long weekend and could not have been happier. It was immaculately clean and the hot tub was ab amazing way to relax. I look forward to being back.

Lakeside cottage with beautiful views up the lake!
We always love going to this cottage. It’s our favorite. It’s actually one of our favorite places. To go a few times a year winter summer. We just spent memorial weekend there. A little doggies loved it. Home away from home so cozy. Bobby the host is wonderful. My daughter boyfriend came up and they absolutely loved it and my son came from Texas to spend one night. It was his first time there he loved it. We already planning on going back. Fantastic getaway. If you need to distress and want calmness. This is the place to come to. And the town of Mystic has great restaurants Like I said it’s our favorite place to come to and I’ve been to quite a few…. Just got home today and I’m seeing if I can book some sometime in October to go back we love it.

Lake Beseck cottage
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

Mystic, CT Pet-Friendly Cottage with Hiking Trails
My sister, dog and I stayed at the cottage for the weekend and had a great experience! Erika is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cottage itself was exactly as pictured. Breakfast in the inn, cooked with natural and organic ingredients, is an absolute must. The location of the inn is great as well, with direct access to the Lantern Hill trail (which our dog loved) and only a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

In-law apartment in Farmington River Cottage
I had a great stay at this Airbnb. The place was clean, comfortable, and matched the description perfectly. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt, and check-in was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient, with everything I needed close by. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

SILVER SANDS BEACH COTTAGE MILFORD NEAR YALE/TRAIN
A very cute and wonderful place to stay! Cozy, clean, private, and incredibly close to the beach! Lisa was extraordinarily understanding about the check-out time and process, would LOVE to stay again! :)

Charm + location. Walk to beach, town, & harbor.
It was so comfortable and peaceful. We had a great time exploring nearby beaches and hikes. We would definitely stay there again.

Montauk Cottage Escape
We absolutely loved our stay at Milton & Megan's Montauk house! It was perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples) there for a 4 day trip. The house is very quiet & peaceful, with lots of outdoor space, but also very walkable to town. The house was super clean, and everything was very easy to find. The bedrooms had lots of closet space, the TV was easy to set up, and all the amenities listed on the website were accurate. We'd love to come back again and stay. Thanks!

Montauk Oceanview
Always love staying at Ron’s. It’s so peaceful. Perfect location and beautiful Ocean views with a short ride if you need to go to town. Montauk Music Fest is a must. Amazing talent and great way to see all Montauk venues. Ron so great to have as a host!

Cozy Home In Short Beach Community
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was extremely cozy and in a beautiful location right near a quiet beach. It’s also very close to New Haven, making trips to and from very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Families
What a beautiful view! We had a great time despite the weather. The house was very comfortable and the location right on the lake is hard to beat.

Renovated beach cottage a block from private beach
April’s cozy beach cottage was perfect for my elderly parents. Everything was spotless, and although tiny, the kitchen was fully stocked with a large refrigerator and full stove, microwave etc. both the bed and the sofa were v comfortable and most importantly, April made sure there was AC in every room, even the cute porch. There’s an outdoor shower which is super convenient. You can easily walk to the beach, go to the arcade, kokomos, a crepes place and the carousel and gift shop. Very peaceful retreat. Must also mention how cheerfully it’s decorated and how spotlessly clean! Just lovely.

Hop Skip and a Jump to the Beach
Our first ever stay at 'Hop Skip and Jump' really met all of our expectations and needs for the week of 8/10-8/17/24! I have never in my 70+ years of spending a summer week in Old Lyme been so enveloped with 5 star luxury while at the Beach! I would recommend this rental to any small family or a group of girlfriends! Hop

Seasonal Beach Cottage
Peter's beach house was the perfect extended weekend getaway with our family. It was the first time we took a family vacation with our small children and teenager. The little kids loved the top bunk in their room and my teenager loved having a room to herself. The kitchen was perfect for our needs, the kids loved the sunroom and the living room was great with the tv for nighttime relaxing. The walk to the beach was the perfect length and the beach was clean and open. We loved every moment at the beach house and are hoping to return next year.

Bucolic Farm On A Country Road
We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay~~~~clean, comfortable, woke up every morning hearing the bird’s singing. Felt like home. And Lori was a wonderful host! Thank you!

Chic Coastal Retreat with Short Walk to Beach
This beach house is super cute. I did have trouble with the lock box, but, that could have been operator error. Super cute, super clean, super responsive to questions.
