Sharon greeted us upon arrival and gave us a walk through of everything about the space. She was readily available by email when I had questions before we arrived. I would absolutely recommend this place to stay.

The place was lovely better than the pictures. There were snacks fruit and soda. We enjoyed the free Ramon and watched rocky, out of their selection of DVDs. Great pricing, quiet area defiantly would recommend to anyone!

Sharon and Ernie are wonderful hosts. This was my second stay (while waiting to get into my new house). They offer a clean, private and calm place to relax and feel like your own for a short time. They've stocked some food items and snacks plus there's a kitchen to prepare a meal or a snack. They also have a great back yard with a pool for relaxing. It's like staying with friends and having your privacy too. I can't recommend Sharon and Ernie's apartment highly enough.

Sharon is a great hostess and provided everything she could think of that we might need. Her place is very quiet and secluded at the end of a dead end street. We will go back again when we stay in Deep River.

我们很高兴与我们的沙龙和厄尼的费用。楼下的公寓里设施齐全,提供了小吃和WiFi被提供。该公寓是整洁有序。我们一定会回来,明年!

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!

quiet, clean and comfortable. great value. great host.

她很包容,非常漂亮。

We had a very nice stay here in late September. The area is very nice with lots to do locally. The road which the cottage is located on is a short drive away from the hustle and bustle - tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Nina and Mark are so friendly and very accommodating / happy to help with information on what's in the area. We plan to visit them again! Would highly recommend this air b&b!

This was only my second stay using Air BNB. Nina's cottage is exactly as pictured. It is adorable, and it has many nice touches/amenities. There is info in the cottage about the area in case one is not familiar. There is a nice deck area, a patio and barbecue area, as well as another seating area outside. There is more than enough room for two people. Nina and Mark are very pleasant, and I will look into staying here in the future.

Loved our experience with Nina and mark! Stayed at their cottage for a wedding weekend and was perfect! The cottage is super cute and has everything that you need from toiletries, maps, pens, cards, and stocked fridge with water eggs milk and other snacks! Loved that! Nina's very easy to contact via text and they live right on the property. Thanks Nina and mark! :)

Being our first Airbnb stay we were not sure what to expect. It was a last minute decision to go away for the weekend. This comfy cottage well exceeded what we might have expected. The beautiful area it was located in, the fantastic accommodations, smiling hosts, we could not have asked for anything better. We are already viewing our calendar for another stay here. The local area was fantastic for shopping, dining, and casual sightseeing and driving. Definitely in our book for a repeat getaway.

We had a very nice stay in Nina's cottage! It is located in a quiet area close to the host's home. It is small but comfortably fit a couple. It is well decorated with thoughtful touches throughout such as snacks, extra toiletries, and fresh cut flowers. Checking in and out was easy and Nina was a friendly and warm host. Would recommend staying here to guests who are looking for some quiet relaxation close to forest trails and outdoor activities.

Mark and Nina could not have been nicer. Highly recommend to anyone vacationing in the area. Excellent value and our trip was perfect. We will be back!

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.

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.

Een heerlijk verblijf in dit prachtige accommodatie.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Mes parents et moi avons passé un idyllique séjour de deux nuits avec Astrid dans sa belle maison historique. Astrid ne pouvait pas être plus accueillant et serviable, ce qui suggère des choses merveilleuses pour nous de faire dans la région. Nous avions prévu d'aller plus loin un champ à Rhode Island, mais dans le cas où nous avons passé un week-end magnifique à explorer les plages et les belles villes à proximité. 300 ans vieille maison d'Astrid regorge de caractère et plein de confort. Son immense jardin est plein de jolies plantes et d'arbres matures, avec son cheval et l'âne de pâturage dans le paddock et Loopy le chien renifler environ. Loopy est extrêmement sympathique, calme et détendu, et aime avoir ses oreilles frotta! Chaque matin, Astrid a préparé un délicieux petit déjeuner fait maison avec des oeufs frais provenant des poules du voisin. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et extrêmement confortables, avec de belles décorations et des touches spéciales pour vous faire sentir à la maison. Nous avons adoré notre séjour avec Astrid et nous sommes ravis de recommander sa belle maison et merveilleuse hospitalité!

Alisha s est une maison calme et douce. Tout est propre et en ordre. Les deux chiens Maggie et Cynba sont sympathiques. Alisha est accueillant et attentionné pour écrire les adresses exactes de quelques endroits pour notre GPS. Le fils de Alisha est agréable et douce aussi. Mon fils aime le swing et les jeux avec lui. Nous avons tous apprécié notre séjour là-bas.

Ce fut ma première expérience avec Abnb et je ne pouvais pas imaginer qu'il soit mieux! Rester avec Alisha et son fils Camden était comme visiter vieux amis. À l'arrivée, ma sœur et moi avons été accueillis par Maggie et Cymba, chiots de sauvetage douces et amicales de Alisha. Nous avons immédiatement senti à la maison. La chambre est grande mais confortable et joliment décorées. La salle de bain est privée et propre et la douche a une très bonne pression. Tous les draps étaient doux et sentait super frais. On nous a également permis l'utilisation de la cuisine et salle de séjour aussi! Il y a aussi des colibris et mangeoires d'oiseaux en dehors de quelques-unes des fenêtres dans la maison et nous avons vu beaucoup de la vie sauvage pendant que nous étions là-bas. Ce fut un régal! Alisha était pas à la maison quand nous sommes arrivés mais elle nous a donné des suggestions d'endroits pour dîner et était chaleureux et accueillant quand nous sommes arrivés à la maison plus tard cette nuit. Nous avons mangé au Haywire Burger Bar et il était délicieux! Alisha est très sympathique, attentionné et attentif vous ne pourriez pas demander un meilleur hôte. Je recommande vivement avec Alisha- nous voulons seulement nous aurions pu rester plus d'une nuit- nous reviendrons sans aucun doute! Merci Aisha!

Great room! Cozy and clean. Two lovely doggies. Highly recommend!

Great, peaceful stay in Connecticut. Alisha and her dogs are friendly and the house is extremely comfortable. We were 3 girls out for a weekend out of the city and it was very easy to get to. Would happily recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet place to rest or anyone interested in exploring the Connecticut seacoast!

Очень рекомендую это место. Велосипеды были удивительны, дом находится в тихом, уединенном месте surronded деревьев. Его короткий велосипед езды от отличного пляжа. Номера чистые и хорошо запаслись, и две собаки сладкие и хорошо себя вели. Бы абсолютно остаться здесь еще раз.

A couple of friends and I were looking for a quiet getaway where we could just relax and enjoy our surroundings. Alisha's home was the perfect place for that. Her house is beautiful and surrounded by so much peaceful nature. Alisha was incredibly kind and accommodating and even provided snacks! Her two dogs were super friendly as well! Would recommend this spot to a friend.

Staying at Alisha's was an absolute dream! She was not kidding about the hummingbird's paradise! Her garden, home, and neighborhood is just magic. Alisha was kind enough to work out an arrangement to let me stay at her place, despite being away. She really went above and beyond her hosting responsibilities. Her home is beautifully decorated, her 2 dogs are so adorable, and she has all of the modern amenities you could ask for, at an unbeatable price. I only wish I was able to stay more than one night! Thanks Alisha!

Alisha est un excellent hôte. Elle m'a fait sentir à la maison, a offert l'utilisation de sa cuisine bien équipée, l'utilisation des vélos et une chambre spacieuse et confortable. Lot de l'attention a été portée aux détails, y compris une machine à café avec des fournitures, un panier de friandises y compris tout de Q-Tips aux crèmes et lotions et des touches de décoration accueillantes. Situé à une destination boisée très bien isolée, j'ai aimé la tranquillité, en sifflant du vent à travers les feuilles et les salutations de Sasha et Maggie, les chiens sympathiques. Beats the heck out d'un hôtel.

Unfortunately I was there only overnight for a wedding but could not have asked for anything better than Andrea's place. It's a cute little cottage guest house that is perfect for a romantic weekend. Andrea has thought of everything to make you comfy too! Little snacks on the counter, tiny toiletries and you can stay for brunch too! Everything was perfect and I highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic place to stay. We had to make a booking last minute and Andrea really helped us out. The apartment was perfect for what we wanted: Incredible views overlooking the estuary with the old steam-train line. The perfect sized kitchen and bedroom with huge amount of light pouring in through the windows in the morning. I would recommend this place to anyone thinking of staying in CT. Really appreciated both Andrea and Mick's hospitality. Just a shame we couldn't stay for breakfast!

This is a very unique and spacious gallery building. 3 or more guests can stay comfortably. Pam lives next door and she responds to text messages promptly all the time.

We had so much fun staying here! The space is unique, airy and dynamic with lots of inviting nooks. We arrived in the middle of a snow storm, and were house-bound quite a bit - we made ample use of the board game and book collection, examined the interesting artwork, and danced. We have two active boys and they LOVED the space, playing hide and seek, tossing stuffed animals from the balcony... Pam is a great hostess, she had plenty of staples in the kitchen for us, was easy to reach and made us feel welcome, while still respecting our privacy. I'd stay here over one of the local B&Bs any day. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay.

Pam was a perfect host and the former gallery turned living space was inviting and inspired. Pam was kind enough to leave some basics for us in the fridge, as well as plenty of tea and coffee cake, which was all greatly appreciated. The loft was lovely for sleeping and so sunny and bright to wake up in. My only regret is not having been able to stay longer!

Everything was amazing! The space was huge! The photos don't do it justice! I'll be thinking of an excuse for another visit soon!

We stayed here as a family and our two young children loved playing "hotel" at the front desk area. The place was huge and absolutely wonderful to stay at. The special treats & a couple staples left in the fridge were perfect! Pam is a wonderful host and really stays in touch. She recommended wonderful places to eat. If we ever have the chance, we would definitely stay here again!

Such a unique place to stay & fabulous location! We loved the kitchenette & having the ability to cook dinner. The beds were very comfortable. We also enjoyed that there was not a television. There are board games to play, which made for a great evening of family time! We only wish we had more time to stay & play.

Beautiful building in a quite setting close to downtown. Unique, well designed interior that was a treat!

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.

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 is an exceedingly conscientious and welcoming host. And the peaceful aura of the place communicates itself from the moment you turn in the drive. This is a beautiful spot in the woods with great spirit inside and out.

Tracey is exceptional as always. We were visiting him for the second time, but this time to enjoy the fall foliage and crisp weather. He prepared a grill and hefty fire pit for us as we decided to enjoy the outdoors thoroughly. Always great conversation, clean living space, generous considerations and fast communication. We even learned a bit more about the sound meditation he works on this time around! Next time would be to experience it first hand. =)

The house was lovely, and the host very gracious. Beautiful hiking trails in the back and a lake nearby. Great spot!

We had a terrific getaway at Tracey's place. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the extensive woods that surround the home are beautiful and perfect for an early morning hike, and Tracey is warm and extremely welcoming. When we arrived, he was just about to begin a yoga class, and since there was space, he invited us to join in, which was wonderful. Tracey left a list of places to try out in town, and his suggestions were spot-on: Otto and Whistle Stop are excellent. Next time we need to spend more time - one day and night isn't nearly enough.

Not just a beautiful location but a wonderful spirit all about the place, serene and energizing at once. Tracey is intelligent, articulate and highly organized, as well as a gifted musician and photographer, which makes interacting with him a real pleasure on many levels.

"If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day till eternity passes away Just to spend them with you" It was hard finding the right words to capture the joy this little spot has brought me (and I use the word little loosely because this place is huge). It took hours of looking at places to find the right one that fit my basic requirement of hiking trails and a lake however once I saw this listing without hesitation I booked it. This place is anything but basic. Literally 3 minute drive to the lake/Beach and less than 10 minute drive to town. Stunning views all around, acres of land to be explored and if it's peace you're looking for you've found it here a few steps away is a meditation bench, there's a hammock at your disposal and a deck where you can get lost in a good book. But why waste a trip hiding behind a book when there so much more to see and do. I mean come on look at the pictures this place is stunning. It is was a pleasure meeting Tracey and it is certainly a pleasure to say how wonderful our stay was at this secluded nature preserve. It turned out to be exactly as depicted on the website. Tracey was a wonderful host. Greeting us the moment we arrived. Tracey was a warm and generous host. He was thoughtful enough to assure us we would have fans and water in the mini fridge waiting for us upon arrival. We picked a weekend where temperatures were up to what felt like 100 degrees. But hey it was my birthday weekend. That didn't deter us from enjoying ourselves. Tracey was filled with questions and answers making it feel as if we were staying with friends instead of crashing in someone's house. He was full of information and funny stories regarding the house, town and people who live there. Though he was around the property we never felt crowded. His presence and casual conversation were always welcomed. It was nice sitting down with him on the deck our first night there sharing pizza and talking about the stars. Tracey was attentive enough where you didn't feel shy about asking him more questions and at the same token he provided you with enough space to enjoy your surroundings in peace. The pictures only highlights a glimpse of the beauty and tranquility it holds. Part of me just wants to keep it all to myself, My private oasis. But who am I to deprive someone of such beauty. So if you're looking for a home away from home. if you're looking for a place with as much charm and grace as it's host then look no further. This is it My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Thank you Tracey, until we meet again. All the best, Indira

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If you like to be in the thick of things and close to restaurants, shops and activity this is the place for you. The apartment was roomy, comfortable and well equipped. Please note that you are directly on the main street in Chester so noise level can be a little loud on weekend nights. Saturday night especially but very quiet the other nights. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and we agreed so much better than any hotel in CT. The parking was a little tricky as we arrived on Saturday and had to park quite a ways but after that we had parking right in front of the unit. We will certainly come back to this quaint and cozy New England apartment.

The accommodations are even more beautiful in person than they were in the pictures! Fully equipped kitchen if you plan to cook. Chester is a quant little town to visit. Wonderful restaurants and shops. And a visit to nearby Gillette Castle is a must!!!

The apartment was very cute. It's right in the middle of town so restaurants(really good ones, too) and shops are right out the door. Laura was great with communication and check-in was a breeze. We stayed with our two year-old and Laura was even nice enough to acquire a baby gate for us to put at the top of the stairs. The apartment is very well stocked. Bathroom amenities are nice, and for those staying longer the kitchen has every gadget you could need. We came in what was still somewhat the off-season, but it's worth noting that getting a parking spot in front of the apartment can be tough, and in peak seasons is only 2-hour parking during the day. There are free lots nearby, but far enough away that you don't want to lug your stuff from a parking lot to the apartment. It's also worth noting that the shower is pretty low as well as on a slanted ceiling. We only stayed a night, so even at 6'3" I was able to ignore it. However if we stayed for an extended period it could become a nuisance(same goes for parking). The apartment still gets 5-stars from me though for its overall appeal, comfort, location, price, and great owner.

Laura was a great host! Apartment is very comfortable and exactly as described. We loved the location and definitely hope to stay again.

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

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.

My colleague and I stayed with Laura for a work trip, and thoroughly enjoyed not only the space, but the location, and it's relative ease of access to Hwy 9. The kitchen, living room, and bedrooms were all spacious, and it is located within steps of a number of solid restaurants, and one quasi-dive bar. The town was very quiet at night, and Laura provided excellent communication throughout the stay, especially by providing parking guidance when a huge snow storm passed through. I would absolutely stay here again going forward, and would recommend it to others.

Mark was accommodating of our late cross country arrival and showed us around the beautifully finished floor of their home. Great for relaxing and taking it easy, we spent our days playing pool, canoeing on the river and sitting outside in the quiet woods. It was everything we were looking for!

Я остался с Марком и Сьюзен после падения моего сына от в соседнем колледже. Друг, который, который также прерывает свою дочь в колледже остался со мной на собственности. Расположение сделало легко исследовать Клинтон и близлежащие районы, включая Нью-Хейвен, Миддлтон, Old Saybrook, Честер, Олд-Лайм, и Эссекс. В номерах были чистые и просторные, с прекрасным видом деревьев и пруд. Окрестности красиво и так тихо, песни сверчков, лягушек и птиц, за исключением. Марк, Сьюзен и их обожаемая собака встретили меня, когда я приехал, и они показали мне вокруг частного внизу блока, который включал в себя мини-баре с соком, водой, бубликами и фруктами. Я никогда не видел их снова, но Марк был отзывчивым по электронной почте, когда у меня была озабоченность. Мы были настолько заняты, исследуя, что мы не стучите идти на каноэ, но это будет отличная активность попробовать в следующий раз. Я очень рекомендую это место для тех, кто остановился в этой области КТ. Удобны для 2-4 людей с двумя спальнями и большой гостиной.

Мы не могли бы быть более довольны нашим пребыванием. Мы встретили наших хозяев Марк, Сьюзен и перец, который сразу же показал нам удивительную квартиру и все это удобства. Это удивительное пространство, прекрасно оборудованный, с все, что нужно для комфортного проживания. Мы обязательно будем рекомендовать друзьям и родным.

Mark and Susan have a lovely home in a quiet, peaceful area. They were so welcoming, assisting us with all of our baggage when we arrived and giving us a full description of where we were staying. This in home apartment was perfect for a relaxing weekend outside of the city - we barbecued using the charcoal grill and went canoeing on the lake in the backyard (and saw a family of swans!) I wouldnt hesitate to visit again! Thanks to you both!

Марк и его жена были очень приятны и обеспечил нашу небольшую группу с прекрасным жильем. Дно история их дома очень уединенный из приведенного выше рассказа, чтобы мы чувствовали, что наша частная жизнь была цела вся поездка. Мы, безусловно, остаться здесь еще раз, если мы когда-нибудь в этой области.

Это волшебное место, которое далеко превзошло все наши ожидания. Мы любили наше пребывание в Марк и Сьюзен красивого дома и нам было жаль уезжать. Они действительно супер хозяева! Их доброта, теплота и щедрость были исключительными, и мы оставили много счастливых воспоминаний.

Our recent stay at Mark’s Bnb was amazing! We were greeted by Mark and his wife Susan who gave us the key and showed us around the property and apartment which is in the lower open level of the home with access to a private entrance at the back of the property. They stocked the fridge with water and bagels and cream cheese and also provided coffee and teas and all the fixings needed. We did not see them again after checking in and felt like we had plenty of privacy the whole time we were there. (We did meet their adorable little Schnoodle Pepper who is so friendly and sweet and we enjoyed watching her chase after chipmunks and squirrels for a while.) The pictures do not do the property justice and everything was exactly as described and even nicer. The views of the lake from the property are beautiful and we saw so many interesting birds and wildlife including the swan couple that swims back and forth in the area around their dock. We really enjoyed just relaxing on the outdoor patio and canoeing around the lake. There is an island in the middle of the lake and a dam at the end and it was fun exploring around and even fishing a bit. Mark provided a grill, charcoal and barbecue equipment that we really appreciated having at our disposal and we had such a nice dinner in the early evening there instead of going out to a restaurant. It was quiet and peaceful and the apartment had everything we could ask for. The kitchenette was well stocked and we used the toaster/convection oven and microwave as well. Plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware were available as well. Beds were comfortable and rooms are so cozy and pretty with lovely furnishings and decorations. We enjoyed the pool table and the large TV in the living room and watched a movie one night in total comfort. Mark and Susan provided a handout of all the best restaurants, local attractions and cultural events and were immediately available and helpful for some inquiries we had about local places. We would definitely return to this property again... as it was a wonderful bargain for the price and amenities. So much better and more comfortable than a hotel! We highly recommend this awesome Airbnb property.. the best we ever stayed at!

Mark was fantastic he was very welcoming offered us everything we needed for a very comfortable stay would definitely go back

Lovely home and gardens, charming town and surrounding area. Leslie and Cotty were wonderful hosts, making you feel like a member of their family. Will visit again when next in the area.

terrific

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!

wonderful hosts and very comfy!

Nikki was warm and welcoming and the location was ideal. Walkable to town for coffee, farmers market, and great restaurants. A great weekend splurge!

Nikki's beautiful, historic home in Chester was the perfect setting for my family's Thanksgiving. Our guests were enthralled by the decor and overall inviting ambience. Nikki greeted us upon arrival and provided all the info needed for a great getaway. Thank you, Nikki, for sharing your home with us.

Nikki's home is extremely charming - perfect for that quiet getaway where you want to read in a private back yard by a babbling brook and also walk into a charming town with great restaurants. Nikki was a wonderful host and made every effort to ensure we had a great stay.

We had a great stay at the house, celebrating a family Thanksgiving. Nikki set the table in wonderful fashion, replete with a floral arrangement. The house is quite lovely, with many antiques and designer furnishings. The spaces are great, with different areas of the house providing the setting for different activities. In the day time we sat in the back of the house and read or played games. Before dinner, we spent time in the living room, and then after dinner (in the dining room) we sat by the fire in the den (?). The bedrooms are nice and of good size. Just a note that aside from the master, which has a king-sized bed, the others are traditional doubles, which may be a bit small for some couples. Chester is a wonderful small town, and we enjoyed dinner at the River Tavern and a run in nearby Cockaponset State Park, which has many miles of trails. We are indebted to Nikki, who was a great host. Thanks!

Nikki was a perfect host! Her home is beautiful, extremely well equipped, and in a fabulous location! We will happily stay here again in the future!!!

Had friends in from out of town, and Nikki's place was the perfect place for them! Beautiful home in a lovely setting. Morning coffee on the patio by the creek can't be beat. Thanks Nikki!

Relaxing, beautiful home decorated with an artist's eye. Nikki is a lovely host and her home is absolutely a work of art. Each room is pulled together in a way only an artist can pull off. Antiques and eclectic artwork envelopes every corner of the her lovely home. Each bedroom has the most comfortable beds and luxurious bedsheets. The towels in the bathroom are incredibly plush and wonderful. Everything about the home was well thought out. Wonderful outdoor space with fire pit that welcomes toasting marshmallows for s'mores, or a relaxing morning for coffee and leisurely conversations or quiet reading or contemplation. Kitchen boasts a commercial grade range and high end cookware. The French coffee press is a wonderful touch (no keurig here!). 5 minute walk to a great town with incredible coffee (Simon's Marketplace), brick oven pizza (Otto's). The people are warm and friendly. 20 minute drive to Old Saybrook and other wonderful attractions. This home is such a treasure in a town that is equally a great find. Loved everything. Many thanks to our great host Nikki. We can't wait to come back.

Wonderful stay! Nikki was a great host. Her house was the perfect setting for a weekend get together with my family on the East Coast. The large kitchen and family room area is filled with sunny windows and french doors overlooking a stone patio, a lovely stream and woods. The pictures are accurate, but it was even more beautiful in person. We didn't want to leave. At night the fireflies came out for a magical show. The tiny village of Chester is very charming with a number of great restaurants and shops - and only a short 10-15 minute stroll away.

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.

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
