This is a well-appointed, two-story guest house on an upscale, shorefront property overlooking the Niantic River. It has a direct waterfront and dock. The water is a navigable two miles to Long Island Sound.


The living-dining areas are located on the open-plan second floor, affording a wide-angle view of the river and across the river to the Oswegatchie Hills Nature preserve, which, according to The Day of New London is 'one of the most beautiful stretches of nature one can find anywhere.' (The Day, Nov. 23, 2005, Page A6)

You will have access to several large decks that descend to the waterfront, including an oversize, private deck right off the second floor, for your exclusive use. The first floor consists of a master bedroom suite, full bath, and a laundry room.

This is a home, not a summer cottage. All appliances, climate control systems (including central air conditioning and heating), bathroom and kitchen fixtures are new and of first quality. There are two TVs, DirecTV premium movie channels, DVD player, telephone with unlimited domestic long distance, and wireless, high-speed internet access.

The location, a two-minute ride from Rte. 95, is convenient to state park beaches, outlet shopping, fine dining, the casinos, and Mystic.

  • The Oswagatchie property is beautiful with a multi-tiered deck leading to the Niantic River (a tidal river). I enjoyed all the amenities of home in a well-kept, pretty little house. I immediately felt comfortable and happy and will be sure to book early when I return, which I plan to do.

  • We had a delightful weekend in May while our daughter graduated from a nearby college. The view of the river and the dock were an added bonus to the cozy house. The Butlers were professional, welcoming, and easy to work with.

  • A home away from home is what we found at 13 A Oswegatchie Road. Pat and Jack Butler's guest house has it all. Wonderful hosts, spectacular views, and a fully equipt guest house. This location on the shore of one of Connecticuts most scenic rivers provides wonderful vistas regardless of the season. We have enjoyed our visits and look forward to returning.

  • What a cute guest house and what a wonderful view! We enjoyed the stay with our 17 month old daughter. Even if you have someone in your party who has to take a nap at noontime there are still plenty of things to see and do in the area. The Butlers gave us a very warm welcome and even provided a high chair and toys for our little one. She would have adopted them as Grandparents right away.

  • We stayed here when we visited our son at the Coast Guard Academy. This is a delightful little home close to the Academy. The Butlers were so considerate and thoughtful, they even had the "Semper Paratus" ring on their doorbell for our stay. The place was very clean, and the view is amazing. We definitely want to stay here again.

There is a dock to fish from or just sit and relax.The owners were very responsive to all our needs.We highly recommend it. Howie and Lynne King

  • We are very happy to have found this wonderful Oswegatchie-house which we used as our base while visiting our daughter in Waterford and discovering US and Connecticut for the first time. The Butler family showed us warm and respectful hospitality with lots of practical advise for daytrips both to museums, villages and whatever questions we came up with! Every other morning we went jogging in the neighbourhood, then took breakfast on the deck with a vue over the river and in company of curious squirrels and exotic birds.The television was the last resort for our 15-years-old son so he (and we!) could attend the European soccer championship - even if Sweden didn't succeed very well! We cooked in the kitchen,had dinner outside on the deck, washed our clothes, slept in comfortable beds - all we needed! From this house "everything" is close (marvellous beaches, New York, Boston, Cape Cod) and we warmly recommend this cottage! Maria, Johan and Jacob from Sweden

  • Great spot for people relocating to the area. I moved down from Canada to work for Pfizer and needed a furnished, utilities included place to stay while I looked for a permanent spot. Satellite tv, great views, quiet, well furnished, and good landlords! Overall, extremely comfortable and ready to move in.
