Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Old Lyme

We (short-term owners of three years) had a fantastic week-long stay with a group of 7! The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze, and the hosts were incredibly attentive, kind, and quick with helpful suggestions. The variety of games and activities—especially the record player, fire pits, hot tub, and air hockey—kept us entertained. All amenities were ready for use, making our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommend! Jennifer and Erich, well done. Thank you

This is a beautiful private spot. It was so peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very clean, bright with a very soothing color scheme. Lauren was very responsive to any questions we had.

Joe made an extra effort telling us home would be available earlier than quoted check in time. Very much appreciate this flexibility. Great neighborhood, wonderful walk to the beach. Was exactly what we needed as a home base for three days of bike rides. Wonderful area.

We had a wonderful weekend at Aude's home in Essex. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was immaculate. It is a 7 minute drive to the center of town, which was convenient. The host was very responsive and quick to fix any concerns we brought to her attention. I would definitely return to this Airbnb!

I can not say enough to describe how incredibly wonderful our stay with Kirby was. We had a longer stay than we originally thought and our host could not have been more helpful with suggestions to help us navigate my husband stay at Yale. The home is warm, welcoming filled with everything you could possibly need. I have stayed in many bs and bs and they are far superior in their attention to every detail and available and responsive to your questions if you ever have any. You will throughly enjoy a blissful time here.

Fantastic Airbnb. Felt like we were staying at a well taken care of and beautifully furnished home of a friend. Nice art, interesting books, comfy and attractive furniture. The whole house was well furnished. There was a lovely snack basket with fresh fruit, bars, French bread, and delicious local cheese to welcome us. Well stocked kitchen- high quality cookware, lots of cooking basics (spices, etc). But, on top of it all, there was wonderful living space- two full well appointed living rooms each with their own amazing view (one of trees, the other of the pond), a large comfortable yet elegant dining room, a big open concept kitchen with a breakfast table, perfect to do a puzzle, play games or have a quick bite. Plenty of room for our party of 10 adults. Beds were comfy, master suite beyond expectation in size and comfort. Great local market for sandwiches/cookies/coffee. Lovely, local CT beach full of shells. Very responsive host. Stay at this airbnb! Even more beautiful in person.

Lots of space to hang out. Beautifully remodeled. Loved the bits and pieces in the pantry. Had regular coffee pot as well as keurig. Well stocked kitchen to make our big breakfasts.

We had an amazing stay at Peter’s home by Saint Clement’s Castle for our wedding weekend! From start to finish, Peter was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly flexible with the details of our stay, which helped make a busy and emotional weekend so much smoother. The home itself was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully maintained. Every room felt comfortable and inviting, and the clean, updated aesthetic made it the perfect place to relax between events and get ready for our big day. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat during a very special time in our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Peter’s place to anyone visiting the area—especially for events at Saint Clement’s. Thank you again, Peter!

very good place to stay, spacious, felt just like home

Lynda is an absolute sweetheart! And the place is adorable and perfect for a little get away!

We had a great stay at bobs apartment. The unit was just as described. It has a large yard where we could let our toddler twins run around to burn energy. Bob was very responsive when we had a question. Instructions were clear and concise. He gave us a lot of grace when the little ones had middle of the night tantrums (we had a 24 hr drive so our routines were totally messed up). My only critique would be we really wish we had a broom to sweep up. Thanks again!

Unser Aufenthalt war rundum gelungen! Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll eingerichtet, häuslich und unglaublich gemütlich – man fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause. Alles war absolut sauber und sehr gepflegt, was uns besonders wichtig ist. Der Kontakt war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer schnell erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können diesen Ort uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

The apartment was beautiful and comfortable. The bathroom was the best part and the soaking tub was amazing. The New Haven area has a lot to do, including the train station to get to NYC.

Wow!!! This is the nicest airbnb I have ever stayed in. The property is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by trees with lots of privacy. The cottage itself is immaculate (I’m very particular about cleanliness). The dining area is stunning with skylights and beautiful trees outside and great light! The hosts were also so welcoming and friendly, they included so many nice touches for my baby including a pack and play/travel crib, diaper changing area, and toys! I hope to stay here again every time we come to this area!

Selestria was super kind & supportive! She made us feel welcomed and made herself available for calls if needed. The home was clean and nice looking :)

Beautiful fall stay at Jo’s! Loved the space, amenities, and especially all the directions and recommendations for the area. Will definitely come back again if we are in the area.

We had a wonderful stay!! The lock was stuck upon check-in but the host called us (it was the middle of the night) and walked us through getting it open. She was so friendly and helpful! The place itself was perfect. Great kitchen, sleeping areas, clean and wonderfully decorated. Even with the lock issue, this was a 5 star stay and we have absolutely no complaints. We had 3 people and we felt like we had plenty of room. It’s also right down the street from the Mohegan Sun!!! So perfect place to stay if you want to visit the resort. You can’t get a better location. Also very quiet area.

First time air bnb and couldn’t have asked for a better experience just wanna thank Ada. Highly recommend a weekend stay here.

Our stay at this stunning lake house was nothing short of amazing. The moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a breathtaking panoramic view of the lake that instantly set the tone for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The house is incredibly spacious, with a well-designed open layout and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Every room felt bright, airy, and inviting. Cleanliness was top-notch—the entire place was spotless and clearly very well cared for. We loved how quiet and serene the surroundings were; it felt like our own private retreat away from the noise and rush of everyday life. Mornings spent sipping coffee on the deck and kayaking over the water by the backyard lake were highlights of our trip. Whether you're looking to unwind, connect with nature, or simply enjoy some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, this lake house is the perfect place. We’re already dreaming of our next visit and would recommend it without hesitation.

We brought our three adult children here to reconnect and explore a new beach town, and this home was the highlight of our trip. It offered the perfect mix of fun and relaxation—truly the most amenities we've ever had at an Airbnb. We enjoyed nightly game competitions in the incredible game room with golf simulation, ping pong, Pac-Man, racing games, and more. The basement had board games and a basketball shootout we loved. The pool, hot jacuzzi, and dinners on the deck made for relaxing, memorable evenings. Ann Marie was kind, responsive, and a joy to work with. Her eye for design made the home feel like something out of a magazine. The beds were super comfortable, and the natural light throughout the home was beautiful. Thank you Ann Marie, for entrusting your incredible home to our family. The memories we have made are priceless and we are very grateful to have had this amazing opportunity! Our only regret was not getting around to do the Karaoke machine-Next time!

This place was perfect for my trip to the CT Barber Expo!! 3 minutes away from Mohegan sun which was perfect !! Super beautiful community peaceful clean and quiet. Truly found high class top tier spot for this trip . I’m beyond happy with my choice and would definitely pick this place again next year !!

Nicole’s place was perfect for a girls’ getaway & some spa time. The unit is clean and well appointed with some extra friendly touches. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Cute and cozy space for the 4 of us! The house was great to accommodate our family and this weekend’s events. Jana was a wonderful host, very responsive and proactive to a local power grid outage and made sure we were taken care of throughout the afternoon until power was restored. Very flexible in letting us check in an hour early as we arrived earlier than scheduled. Overall great experience and perfect host!

We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The view of the water was everything and was accessible from nearly every room. The home was modern and easily accommodated our large group. Yet it was cozy and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would ever want. It is ideal for children with every toy imaginable. There was a highchair and a pack and play for our toddler and child appropriate dishes. The kitchen was fully equipped and had 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and 3 tables for dining. The beautiful pool and hot tub were in constant use. Mary is very thoughtful and assembled a ringed binder with important contacts and suggestions for dining, shopping and entertainment. Although there was no beach on the property there are nearby beaches. The towns of Guilford and (nearby) Madison are charming and well worth visiting. Mary was very accommodating and responded promptly to several inquiries.
