This was our fist experience on airb&b. From the very beginning Sharon made us feel comfortable. Sharon went over the top to make us feel welcome. The amenities were wonderful with a private kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. When we come back to Connecticut I will be looking to stay here first! Book with confidence.

The place was wonderful and comfortable. The host provided everything we needed and more. I would definitely stay there again if I ever go back to deep river.

Our best AirBnB experience so far! The space is large, quiet, and stocked so well. We can't wait to stay with Sharon the next time we are in CT!

房子位于市中心,靠近商店和海滩和可爱的城镇。池是伟大的,沙龙和Earnie是伟大的。我们把我们的狗,他们愿意陪她,如果我们将所有的一天,我们是。他们是非常有益的给我们当地的景点和要做的事情。它的价格是7月4日。

I've stayed at a half dozen or so Airbnb's. They've all been honest and provided what they said they would. Sharon, however, really seemed to have gone the extra distance. Everything was set up and laid out to make us comfortable. She even provided a considerable amount of food and drink and made it clear that we were welcome to use whatever we wanted. I'd definitely go back there and I'd recommend it to everyone.

We were very pleased with our stay at Sharon and Ernie's. The downstairs apartment was fully furnished, snacks were provided, and WiFi was made available. The apartment was clean and orderly. We will definitely be back next year!

great place to stay, very clean and all amenities provided by the host

This place is a total gem! Clean, very comfy queen size bed, and an entire apartment basically to ourselves. Wish we had booked a longer stay. Slightly off the beaten path in a beautiful wooded area. Not far to town. Didn't lack for any ammenities. She even provided coffee, tea, bagels and eggs for us in the refrigerator. Wifi worked awesome. Very peaceful location and never heard the host and had plenty of privacy. Very easy check in. Plenty of free parking also. We would definitely stay again. Place was sparkling clean.

De advertentie is precies zoals beschreven, zeer mooi, uitstekende gastheer. Mijn eerste Airbnb en het kan mijn best zijn. Hopen terug te keren.

Dit was mijn tweede verblijf in dit huisje en ik vond het zelfs nog meer in het voorjaar. Gastheren zijn behulpzaam, vriendelijk en met respect voor de persoonlijke levenssfeer; aankomst is duidelijk beschreven, geen problemen ofwel visit..I hoop dat ik in dit charmante huisje weer verblijven!

Dit was een mooie, ontspannen plek met gracieuze, gastvrije gastvrouw en gastheer. De Chester gemeenschap langs de rivier de Connecticut met beschermde dieren in het wild conserven, evenals chique galeries en restaurants maken deze bijzonder aantrekkelijk. Ik hoop om terug te keren voor een langer bezoek onder de enorme bomen te zitten en lezen of schets, met uitzicht op de rivier. Tinka McArdle

Na zorgvuldig onderzoek vonden we deze plek, en het voldeed aan al onze verwachtingen. Het uitzicht op Connecticut River is fantastisch. Het huisje had alles wat we nodig hadden in de keuken. Het bed was zeer comfortabel. Alles was zeer schoon. Dit is een plek waar we zouden graag terug te komen. Het ligt dicht bij de stad van Chester (5 min.), Dat is heerlijk. Ook dicht bij de Gillet Castle (15 min?) En de Goodspeed Opera house (5 min.).

We hielden van ons verblijf in het rivierfront huisje die nog meer charme dan de foto's doen vermoeden. De accommodatie is prachtig en het huisje voelt erg prive. Ik wou dat we nog een paar dagen om te ontspannen op de veranda en kijk naar de rivier had. De inrichting is eenvoudig en aantrekkelijk, de keuken is buitengewoon goed uitgerust en de matras en kussens waren zeer comfortabel. Als iemand die het leuk vindt om te lezen voor het slapen gaan, ik waardeerden vooral de goede lampen aan beide zijden van het bed en de selectie van aansprekende boeken voor elk wat wils. Claudia en Gordon waren warm en attent en zelfs deelden een aantal prachtige gebak met ons na een feestje dat ze had gegooid toen wij er waren.

We hadden een perfect weekend in Chester - en het begon met ons verblijf in deze zoete huisje. Wij zijn een gezin met twee tieners - en dat werkte perfect als thuisbasis. Er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving - of je kan gewoon wilt zitten op de veranda en kijken naar de rivier drift door.

Het huisje was perfect! Aankomst was een makkie en we voelden ons alsof we de rivier voor onszelf. Zal zeker terug gaan!

We hadden een zeer aangenaam verblijf. Hoewel het huisje is dicht bij het huis van de gastheer is zeer privé en rustig. Mooi rustgevend uitzicht. De nabijgelegen steden hebben veel goede restaurants en winkels om rond te porren in. Het huisje was goed ingericht.

Alisha's house was really nice! Unfortunately we arrived very late and leave very early the next day. Really hope to stay longer! Alisha was so kind because we asked a lot of essential questions and she answered patiently even she was not there! Her dogs are so cute! They were very obedient! One of our friend was a little bit afraid of Maggie (name of one of the dog) so she was staying at our room mostly all the time. Every time she tried to get into our room, we said "no" and then she really just stopped there and returned. They are the cutest I've ever seen! We had a really good time!

Went with two of my uni friends and had such a great time! The bnb went beyond our expectations. First, Alisha had a binder full of places to visit and things to eat in the neighborhood. Second, we had the whole first floor to our selves with access to refrigerator space. Third, there was an entire basket full of shower gels, shampoo, lotion, a razor that we could use. Fourth, a basket of snacks!! If I ever visit the area again, I'll definitely visit again.

Stayed here for one night because of a wedding down at Waters Edge. It was only an 8-10 minute drive to the resort so the location was perfect. The house was very clean, the room was perfectly described. Alisha was such a great host, if you ever need to stay down by the shore, skip the hotels and check this place out!

Большое, Мирное пребывание в Коннектикуте. Алиша и ее собаки дружелюбны и дом очень удобно. Мы были 3 девочки за выходные из города, и это было очень легко добраться. Бы счастливо рекомендовать его для тех, кто ищет тихое место для отдыха или тех, кто заинтересован в изучении морского побережья Коннектикута!

Даже если мы не получили встретиться Alisha во время нашего пребывания быстро, она была великолепна, чтобы общаться и был очень дружелюбным. Кровать была удобная, комната просторная и чистая, и собаки супер очаровательны и ожидающий!

The house is gorgeous! Alisha has the friendliest, prettiest dogs. Highly recommended as a place to stay in woodsy Connecticut.

Alisha was welcoming and pleasant. Alisha's home was also warm and comfortable, as we sat relaxed having coffee and watching many wilds birds, from her deck. Being close to the shore and many sites, was exactly what we wanted. We would definitely recommend Alisha's AirBNB.

Alisha was great......and very accommodating!

我们在Pam的住宿很好。空间宽敞美丽!真正是一个独特而特别的地方。肯定会再次入住

Great place to stay and plenty of space to hang out

The pictures posted don't do the place justice. It is a truly unique space with an open floor plan and fantastic art pieces (some created by Pam herself!). The opportunity to stay in this converted art gallery provides a truly unique experience for a stay in the beautiful Essex area.. close to a quaint downtown and lovely beaches.

The house is very fun and spacious. The floorplan, including the bedrooms, is very open, but the apartment has a ton of room and is beautiful. Pam was very attentive to our needs, but was not hovering or intrusive.

Pam was an incredible host, and we felt right at home in the apartment. We loved staying in this apartment while attending a wedding this weekend, and felt it was highly superior to and much more interesting than the hotels in the area. Pam was also very welcoming of our dog, which was just one more reason to love staying with her! We will hopefully be back soon!

Pam's place is wonderful, comfortable yet modern, clean, and spacious. She was a gracious and attentive host, and provided wonderful recommendations. We hope to come back. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Essex/Chester/Ivoryton, the Connecticut River, or just a relaxing getaway.

Pam's place is really unique and spacious. We loved being close to the Essex Steam Railroad and found the town of Essex to be really quaint. The living area was clean and comfortable and the art on the walls was great. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and the beds very comfy. We would definitely return again.

Pam was very welcoming. My parents and I very much enjoyed staying at Pam's place.

Mark encouraged us to advise him of our ETA in order to welcome and orient us....assist with luggage. Our travel party consisted of my 86 year old Beloved Mother and 9 year old daughter. Daughter Ellie anticipated meeting dog Pepper and was not let down ...Mark strolled out with a big smile and Pepper paws appeared to be clapping! This property was perfect for us...a lovely quiet neighborhood, surrounded by nature, thoughtfully and lovingly appointed. Proximity to town, country and the interstate could not have been better. We are planning another trip back!

Mark and his wife were extremely pleasant and provided our small group with a wonderful accommodation. The bottom story of their house is very secluded from the above story so we felt that our privacy was intact the entire trip. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Mark was a wonderful host. He greeted us and helped us bring our luggage in, showed us around the property etc, and was very friendly. We felt like we had our privacy for the whole stay, the apartment was very clean and everything looked even better in person than it does in the photos! I highly recommend this place and if we're ever in the area we will definitely stay there again.

Mark was an incredibly lovely host and his home is wonderful! Mark was always available if we needed anything, which wasn't very often because the apartment had almost everything we would need for our stay. The pictures of both the apartment and the incredible view do not do it justice. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and the perfect place to getaway. We woke up each day and enjoyed our cup of coffee out on the patio taking in the beautiful birds and lake and enjoying peace and quiet. Two of us brought our own paddleboards and our other two friends went out in Mark's canoe, the lake is large enough that you can paddle around for an hour or so. There's a beautiful bald eagle and several other birds who fly around the lake to make it even more enjoyable. Everything is within short driving distance, when we wanted to venture out it didn't take long to get to something fun or find a good restaurant for lunch. Mark also provides a great notebook with details about fun things to do and restaurant recommendations for those who do not know the area. The cherry on top was our visits from Pepper, Mark's adorable dog. She was such a sweetie! Overall a truly wonderful stay!

Mark and Susan were amazing hosts. They gave very good directions and excellent recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. The house was well-equipped and very comfortable. We had a wonderful time over the long weekend.

Mark and Susan were amazing hosts and exemplify what AirBNB is all about. Communication leading up to the stay was very informative and prompt. They met us as we pulled into the driveway. The place itself is better than the pictures show. Extremely clean, and plenty of space (we were traveling as 2 couples). The location is perfect- extremely private, yet only 5 minutes from the interstate. We can't recommend Mark and Susan highly enough. Thanks again!

Awesome little lake to canoe on

Наше недавнее пребывание в БНБ Марка было удивительно! Мы были встречены Марком и его женой Сьюзен, который дал нам ключ и показал нам вокруг собственности и квартиры, которая находится в нижнем открытом уровне дома с доступом к отдельному входу в задней части имущества. Они запаслись холодильник с водой и бублики и творогом, а также при условии кофе и чая, а все крепежные элементы необходимы. Мы не видели их снова после проверки и почувствовал, как у нас было много личной жизни все время мы были там. (Мы действительно встречали их очаровательны мало Schnoodle Pepper, который является настолько дружественным и сладким, и мы с удовольствием наблюдал ее в погоню за бурундуки и белки на некоторое время.) Картины не делают справедливость собственности, и все было именно так, как описано, и даже лучше. Взгляды на озере из собственности красивы, и мы увидели очень много интересных птиц и диких животных, включая лебединую пару, которая плавает назад и вперед в области вокруг их доке. Нам очень понравилось просто отдохнуть на открытой террасе и каноэ вокруг озера. Существует остров в середине озера и плотины в конце, и это было весело, исследуя вокруг и даже рыбу немного. Марк предоставил гриль, уголь и барбекю оборудование, которое мы действительно оценили имея в нашем распоряжении, и у нас был такой хороший обед в начале вечера там вместо того, чтобы идти в ресторан. Это было тихо и спокойно, и в квартире было все, что мы могли бы попросить. На кухне хорошо укомплектованная и мы использовали тостер / конвекционную печь и микроволновую печь, а также. Много блюд, стаканы и столовые приборы были также доступны. Кровати были удобными и номер очень уютно и довольно с прекрасной мебелью и украшениями. Мы наслаждались бильярдный стол и большой телевизор в гостиной и смотрел фильм один вечер в полном комфорте. Марк и Сьюзан представила раздаточный материал всех лучших ресторанов, достопримечательностей и культурных мероприятий, и были немедленно доступны и полезны для некоторых запросов, которые мы имели о здешних местах. Мы обязательно вернемся к этой собственности снова ... как это было замечательно торговаться по цене и услугам. Так что гораздо лучше и комфортнее, чем в гостинице! Мы рекомендуем это удивительное свойство Airbnb .. лучшее, что мы когда-либо останавливались в!

Bedankt Astrid voor onze prachtige verblijf in uw prachtige huis. We waren blij om u te ontmoeten en genoten van ons verblijf zo veel. Je maakte een geweldige aanbeveling voor het diner, en we zo genoten van uw heerlijk ontbijt. Kan niet wachten om terug te keren.

We kregen een warm welkom ook al kwamen we vrij laat. Dit is een prachtig historisch huis. We voelden ons zeer gelukkig om gasten daar te zijn. We kregen een heerlijk ontbijt geserveerd. Een heel bijzondere plek om te verblijven!

Astrid was de meest gracieuze en attente gastvrouw. Haar huis is mooi en een genot om te ervaren. Ze gaven ons het gevoel helemaal thuis voelen. Wij houden van haar hond, Loopy, ook.

Mijn verloofde en ik heb een geweldig weekend in Astrid's plaats. Het was een zeer romantische plek, met een mooi terrein, en een heerlijk ontbijt elke ochtend! Astrid was zeer gastvrij en meegaand voor de hele reis, met een grote kennis van het gebied! We verbleven in de suite, en de kamer was zeer ruim met vloerverwarming in de badkamer, en een open haard in de slaapkamer dat de kamer warm tijdens de nacht wakker gehouden.

Een heerlijk verblijf in dit prachtige accommodatie.

Prachtig land boerderij te ontsnappen. Mijn vriendin en ik heb New Year's bij Astrid's. Ze was zo gastvrij en het huis is prachtig gerenoveerd en precies wat we zochten. Ze lieten ons zelfs brengen onze kat :) we zullen zeker terugkomen wanneer het weer warmer wordt, zodat we nog een seizoen in deze geweldige vakantie kan beleven.

Astrid was een geweldige gastvrouw en de boerderij was zoals beschreven als niet meer mooi en goed onderhouden. We kwamen om te vieren 6 maanden van het huwelijk en van Astrid plaats was romantisch, rustig, en ideaal. Het land is prachtig in de winter, want ik weet zeker dat het in alle seizoenen. De boerderij verse eieren en Franse croissants maakten deel uit van mooi, warm en stevig ontbijt. Zeker een geweldige plek om te verblijven met het nabijgelegen wandelingen, staat parken, en historische stadjes rondom.

We had a perfect stay with Astrid in her beautiful home. She treated us like family and we can’t recommend her highly enough! We stayed 2 nights with 2 separate bookings - hence 2 reviews!! Please take a look at my longer review which should pop up next to this one…

Host was great, place was great, so beautiful, it feels very calm; it also only takes a short drive to the coast. Room has it's own living room, bathroom and direct access to the yard. Overall, i really enjoyed our short stay

We were in the area for a crazy loud family reunion, and Pam's quiet and private space was great for relaxing and unwinding. We had our preschooler with us, and he loved the African animal accents and playing baseball in the yard!

Pamela and her husband were very friendly. We were only in the area for one night though to go to a wedding, so we didn't spend much time at the house.

这个位于森林公园里的房子实在太令人惊叹,无论是周围环境,还是房子外观,还是精心打理的草坪和花园。我们最赞叹的是属于我们的阁楼休息室,满满的书籍,满满的音乐碟片,以及满满的艺术品,Pamela热爱旅行,并且用全世界各地带回来的纪念品装饰了这个温馨的阁楼,整齐典雅富有品味!还要特别赞一个卫生间的色彩,紫色调充满了公主般的清新。Pamela是非常热情的房东,还为我们推荐了好吃的亚洲菜。如果有机会,我一定会回来!

房间很宽敞漂亮。我们喜欢我们的住宿!

Excellent accueil et chambre très confortable. Nous avons aussi pu profiter de la terrasse pour nos repas : un havre de paix en pleine nature!

Very warm and cozy place; a clean, beautiful, updated and peaceful piece of home. I will definitely go back to stay there. The area is great for outdoor activities and lots of connection with nature.

We returned to Pamela and Mark's beautiful home for the second time this summer. Our room was all ready for us and it really seemed that we were coming to visit old friends. We had to come down for a relative's memorial service and being able to just rest between events in this peaceful spot in the woods was exactly what we needed. Thank you again!

Jules and Linds have such an adorable apartment! The room was incredibly comfortable and clean, the entire house is welcoming and adorably decorated, and the bed is so cozy

Very quiet. Quaint. Comfortable. Great value.

This review is actually for another listing (the nest) by this seller which is located on the same property but separate from the main house. Although we did not stay in "the cozy nook" apartment (which has its own entrance but is attached to the house) we did still get to see it. This place is beautiful. Very clean and well kept. We originally booked the cozy nook but when we went to go check it out the owner offered us to stay in the nest since we were looking for a little more privacy for our wedding weekend. The owner is very nice and accommodating and as for "the nest" where we actually stayed-- it was absolutely perfect. Also clean and very well kept- Bed was comfortable too. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area.

The apartment is nicely furnished and very comfortable. Doree is a very thoughtful host and left us coffee, waters and a couple of muffins. The window air conditioning unit is directly above the bed, so if you are a light sleeper like I am, I would recommend ear plugs as it can be a bit loud (there are also dehumidifiers running). Also, if you are arriving late at night, it can be difficult to find the house number -- it is located on a tree, so just be prepared to look carefully for it.

Excellent accommodations! Highly recommended!

I enjoyed Doree and Jason's lovely nest. It was decorated with great care with an artist's eye. It was spotless and all the necessary amenities within reach. The bed was comfy and then bedding and towels plush. I was able to watch my favorite series on TV . Everything could not have gone more smoothly. Thank you, I definitely would go book again with z

We had a wonderful time. Doree was so nice, welcoming and always quick to assist. The place was comfortable, beautifully designed and very clean. We had flowers and cinnamon rolls waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived. I would certainly comeback and recommend to my friends.

Doree's Cozy Nook was very Cozy and welcoming. Even though we brought things we needed she had literally everything in the Cozy nook available to make our stay homelike. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

High quality offering and first rate response when needed.

This place is a real gem! My mother, one-year-old and I stayed here when we came to a nearby get together in Killingworth. It's a great location and cute doesn't even begin to describe the place! The yard is perfect and scenic. There were homemade cookies and muffins for our arrival and Doree has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. I'm so glad we went this route and didn't get a hotel. I felt right at home! I can't recommend staying here more!

We had a really nice stay at a cozy private apartment with a beautiful view. The host met us upon arrival and was even flexible as our arrival time changed last minute. The view of the river was beautiful out of the large window, and we really enjoyed watching the steam train during the day. Also, bonus hosting points because we forgot a computer charging cable and the host was very generous to send it back to us right away. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Andrea and her husband were very nice people. On the evening we arrived, there was fresh gingerbread awaiting us, which was a very nice touch. This review is not about them, so I hope they don't take it personally, but is about the place we rented. The place is a little funky. And this is the only place we stayed on this trip. The first night we were there, we were exhausted from our 9 hour drive to arrive, so I wasn't too aware that anything weird was happening, but on the second night I noticed that I started feeling itchy when I was in the bedding, as if little bugs were crawling on me and biting me. The next morning, my friend confirmed that she had also felt this. Our schedule was full for the time we were in town, so we quickly forgot about this until the next night as we rushed into our classes. In the middle of the night, I felt bites again, I turned on my phone flashlight to see if I saw bed bugs, but I couldn't find any. I convinced myself that maybe I was allergic to the laundry detergent used and went back to bed. By the third night I could not sleep well, there was something definitely biting me and I couldn't see it! Unfortunately, we had taken our own pillows into this house and it appears that we have brought whatever microscopic mite was in this place back home, and now we are getting bites on our abdomens. I'm going to get it looked at, I hope it's not scabies! They are very very small black mites, it seems to be either scabies or rat mites. I wouldn't advise staying here until they take care of whatever is happening in the bed and couch. Another weird thing: The doors did not lock once you left the building and we didn't receive any instruction on how it could be locked, so we took our valuables with us every day. The final night of our stay, we were informed the locks were fixed, but at that point it didn't matter as we were leaving in the morning. The previous people to stay there had a party and broke the locks, we were told. Overall, the place would have been good if it locked and there were no biting bugs in the beds!!

Lovely apartment in a lovely location. We enjoyed walking by the river and looking at some of the beautiful old houses in the area. Great value!

Full apartment overlooking the Connecticut River where the Essex Steam Train passes by hourly or less, depending on season. Very quiet and scenic. Delightful hosts.

I came with my partner to Deep River for a long weekend out of the city, and we thoroughly enjoyed what we experienced. The apartment is located next to an old lace factory which is rented out for weddings, so the grounds are kept beautifully. Andrea and her husband went above and beyond what the typical hosts offer. She drove us to a nearby town for exploring, and also to the train station when we left. The apartment itself is full of character and interesting pieces and fresh flowers were awaiting us. It was a bit dated and you can tell someone else lived (or lives) there, but nothing that the pictures don't show. It boasts views of the river directly across the street, and offers a lovely private deck we took advantage of. Next time, we will certainly spend the $20 extra and stay in their other cottage (and recommend the same!) With that said, the suggestions re: restaurants and hikes, and the friendliness given to us were invaluable across the board, and we had a lovely time. We plan on returning!

Thankful for Andrea and Angus for hosting us last minute. Wife and I loved the location and beauty of the landscape and peaceful location. My kiddos' loved the chickens, golden retriever, train, and steam boat!

Andrea and Angus were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodations were great. We would definitely stay there on our next trip and would highly recommend it.

Stayed with my sisters for the weekend and had a relaxing time. Private, nice apartment, and friendly host!

just great! awesome host and amazing place real nature but very close to town too!! Relaxing and inviting

The property, Secluded Nature Preserve: As expected from the name, this is truly a place where you can enjoy nature and just unwind. We loved the hiking trail (albeit short) right outside the door. We reveled in our toddler just playing with rocks like nothing else mattered. The rooms were clean, cozy and the bed was comfortable. Also the bathroom is huge! In the small living room area, there's a small fridge and a coffee machine with K cups provided for you. The owner: Tracey was very welcoming. Needless to say, he was a great host. We've chatted a few times when we weren't out exploring the area and when he is not making music (he's a musician!), telling us about the property's history. It has quite a history (it's even featured in INK magazine)! The area: We rented Tracey's place because it was near the Lavender Pond Farm (10min drive) which we highly recommend spending at least 2 hours just to take the fields of lavender in. It was quite an experience. His place is also just a couple of miles from Chester's town proper, a very quaint downtown area where you can eat or just walk around in. Thanks to Tracey's recommendation, we had the best Date Pudding at River Tavern. All in all, we loved staying at Tracey's property and we would stay there again. We'd even highly recommend it to our friends looking for a quiet break from the city life.

Tracey was a warm and welcoming host, looking after our every need, including coffee in the morning:) He was full of information about great things to do in the area and leads a very interesting life in this charming Connecticut River Valley area. The setting was serene and beautifully woodsy. The room was really more than a single room. It would be better described as a suite of rooms with a bedroom, a large bathroom, and a writers room with a window looking over the woods. You have free use of the deck in the back and there is a 2 mile walk that's been cleared through his private woods. A 2 minute drive away is a large freshwater lake with beaches all around. We had a lovely swim there for which he provided ample towels. Would definitely recommend!

Tracey is beyond kind. He taught us how to use the fire place and allowed us to use it whenever. He recommended places for us to go to in town that were fabulous to attend. And when we were making a fire late at night, he joined us and we had very nice conversations with him. I loved how amicable he is and though we arrived late into town, he was very generous with us and flexible with our needs. I highly recommend the spot. It's beautiful.

Cozy spot, gorgeous nature, very peaceful. Thanks for a good stay, Tracey

The host canceled this reservation 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

i was looking in a rush for a place to relax and found it at the Sound Retreat. tracey was responsive and flexible in communicating his schedule and accommodating our needs. the place - both house and surrounding woods and nearby lakes, towns, state park - is BEAUTIFUL. i left feeling rejuvenated, but think that just one overnight is too short to explore and listen and soak in all that is there.

Tracey was very warm and friendly. When I arrived he was there to greet me and gave me a tour of the space. The room was cozy and warm. The bed was incredibly comfortable. There was also a private sitting room available to me that had a great view of the woods. The bathroom was big and had all the amenities I required. My intention was to spend a couple of nights away from home to just sit and meditate and enjoy nature. Tracey's space was perfect for this. Chester is only about 45 minutes from my home. It is nice to know that I don't have to travel far to get a similar experience to places like Omega or Kripalu. Tracey was the ultimate host...friendly, good conversation and good tea.

Leslie and Cotty made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We were shown around the property and walked into our room. We got advice on how to organize our visit, and they pointed us to their beautiful garden to wind down from the trip. The room and facilities are exactly as posted. The location is great to explore Connecticut's coast towns.

very welcoming and lovely home. Close to town. A unique visit with a skylight over my bed. Slept better than I do at home and coffee was great in the morning. An original home with beautiful landscape. Will stay again

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay in Ivoryton. The house is absolutely charming, with a gorgeous, expansive backyard. I loved sitting on the brick patio, listening to the fountains in the background, and reading my book 'A Perfect Life'. At that moment, I was living the perfect life! The room and common areas are spotless. The queen bed was very comfortable. The host and her husband are very friendly. And the fresh fruit and delicious coffee in the morning gave us time to chat. Thank you Leslie for a wonderful stay!

terrific

always comfortable and lovely sorroundings got to sit in the garden

Lovely home in a converted stable with beautiful surroundings best describes this airbnb. Accommodations were less than ideal but satisfactory.

wonderful and cozy with great breakfast muffins!! comfortable and makes you feel like family

Leslie and her husband we amazing hosts! The home is on a beautiful piece of property and was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I feel I ever find myself in Essex I would definitely stay again, or even just stop by to say hello :)

Laura is incredibly accommodating, communicative and welcoming. The apartment has everything and more to ensure a relaxing and efficient stay in the town of Chester. We stayed for a friend's wedding and were able to walk to the ceremony and reception. Can't beat that!

We loved staying at the apartment and hope to return soon. It was immaculately clean, spacious, well-stocked, and in the perfect location for exploring charming Chester. We loved being within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Once we booked our stay, Laura sent helpful information about the apartment and where to park. She and the apartment itself way exceeded our expectations. We hope to return soon.

A great stay! Laura was warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Laura was an awesome host, very helpful. The apt was absolutely lovely and very convenient! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect place for our stay in Chester. Laura and Mike are great hosts and very responsive.

This place is amazing! Highly recommend it, and the hosts were incredibly responsive!

Laura is a very welcoming and communicative host. Her apartment in downtown Chester is comfortable, tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is located in downtown Chester and close to a number of restaurants. Chester is a cute town which has some interesting shops, galleries and a museum to offer. Parking on the street or at the nearby parking lot is free and we had no problems finding a spot. We enjoyed or stay at Laura’s place and would stay here again.

Very cute place in a really adorable small town! Laura is very easy to contact and accommodating!!

Nina's Cottage is adorable! Perfect for a quiet getaway. Nina was very friendly and available. We will absolutely stay again!

My wife and I stayed at Nina+Mark's quaint and lovely cottage for two nights as we photographed a wedding in Deep River, CT (about 15 minutes away). Our hosts were very kind and communicative, and the cottage itself had everything we needed (i.e. wifi, coffee, peace & quiet, and a comfortable place to sleep). We'd definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thanks again, Nina+Mark!!

The cottage was a great place to stay during our time in CT. It is located in a quiet area but is a short drive away from the busier areas of town (15 mins from Old Saybrook). Upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised on how well-stocked the kitchen was (orange juice, lemonade, half & half, eggs, chicken sausage, Canadian bacon, etc!) and there were plenty of towels and blankets available. Nina and Mark were friendly and quick to respond to our questions. I would love to return to their cottage the next time we're back in CT.

We had a lovely stay at Nina's guest house over the weekend! She and her husband were very accommodating, and the cottage was darling and cozy. Perfect location for the wedding we were attending in Old Saybrook as it's only about a 15 min drive (and we were able to get an uber both ways!). Overall the perfect getaway - only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a great stay at Nina and Mark's cottage. The space is on the same property as their residence but absolutely private. Still, if we needed to contact Nina or Mark, we were able to do so and received quick responses. We met Nina and Mark at the beginning of our stay and they showed us around the cottage and answered any questions we had. They place itself is very clean and updated. They provided snacks and toiletries as well as flowers for us. They also suggested a few places in the area to visit which we took them up on and it enhanced our weekend for sure. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

This guest cottage has everything a traveler might need for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and there was even a small garden patio with a barbecue available for use. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded with lots of trees, yet the busy shoreline is only 3 miles away. Nina and Mark were friendly, kind, considerate and helpful. Highly recommended...

Nina and Mark were great! ...and very accommodating.

Staying at Nina's cottage was an excellent experience. This was our first stay using Air BnB. We weren't sure what to expect, but Nina and Mark welcomed us with open arms and a great place to live for the weekend. The property was very clean, well kept, and the quietness we enjoy at night. A short drive to the beach or outlets just to wander was fantastic. The cottage was well decorated and filled with all the amenities anyone could possible need. This was a great experience and we highly recommend Nina's cottage to anyone staying in this area.

The Nest is absolutely adorable! It's clean, comfy (those soft sheets were to die for!), and perfect for a quiet getaway. We loved visiting the cute restaurants and small towns nearby. Definitely hope to stay here again some day!

Exactly as picture & described. Doree was easy to contact & quick to reply.

Lovely, quiet place.. Super clean, nicely decorated and furnished..Extra touches like cookies/cofee/cream/seltzer just added to a very pleasant stay..Highly recommend the "Nest"!

We will be back.

Our visit to Doree's "The Nest" was fantastic. The apartment is very clean, comfortable, beachy and beautiful. The setting is private and idyllic, and Doree is the perfect host. Communication and check-in were easy. It was lovely to find fresh muffins and beautiful flowers waiting for us in the apartment! The location, near Essex and Centerbrook is terrific. Doree was generous with restaurant suggestions, extra beach towels and a late check-out... she could not have been more gracious. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back for another escape from NYC!

Doree's place is delightful! The unit seems brand new, was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It's quiet. It's private. Towels were thick and fluffy. The shower had great water pressure. Parking was under a connected carport. We loved having the Keurig coffee maker with Kcups and cream. Even fresh muffins upon arrival. We will DEFINITELY be back!

for anyone considering staying here you will not be disappointed...lovely-clean-fresh and bright...

My husband and I spent three days at the wonderful nest and absolutely enjoyed it. The place is beautiful and relaxing, just as it looks on the pictures. Doree was a fantastic host. I had mentioned that it was my birthday and she was nice enough to leave me a birthday cupcake. She was awesome with sharing suggestions for restaurants, activities, beaches, etc. very great experience. Would definitely go back.

The peace barn is great for some but not for anyone who may have trouble navigating stairs. The house is interesting with lots to look at. A bit musty smelling. The property is very nice and the hosts as well.

This place is a wonderfully peaceful retreat. The trails and property were so fun to explore. We highly recommend!!!

Beautiful setting, comfortable bed, host friendly and communicative. Great coffee!

Clean, comfortable and great coffee in the morning - exactly what we needed! He also recommended a wonderful place for breakfast. David was in touch prior to our stay, and was very flexible about our rather late arrival - it was not an issue... There are 2 bedrooms available - each accommodates 2 persons. The price shown is for one bedroom.

Awesome

Comfortable room, nice area.
