About this property

Waterfront Goodspeed airport 2-bedroom house with AC, WiFi

Watch airplanes take off from the kitchen or relax on the deck or by the river! This 2-bedroom house abutting the Goodspeed Airport to the east and the Connecticut River to the west is truly a unique experience—with a sweeping lawn down to the river on one side and a friendly GA community and airport on the other. Walk to the Goodspeed Opera House for a show, eat a meal at the Gelston House or borrow a 42B bike and ride a little further and grab a bite at Higher Grounds (they give pilots a discount!) Sign up for a ride with Goodspeed Seaplane, take out one of the house's kayaks to Chapman's Pond or just sit with a drink and watch the sun set.

Nestled in a serene setting, this property is a pilot's dream escape. Each bedroom features a queen memory foam bed, ensuring a comfortable sleep. With 1.5 bathrooms and amenities like a Keurig machine and pods, AC, Starlink wifi, a washing machine/dryer, iron, and hair dryers, your stay will be convenient and hassle-free. The additional living room space provides flexibility and can accommodate extra guests with a lay flat sofa, and two fold-out memory foam twin beds. Experience the magic that is Goodspeed!

This is such a cool place. The house is on the CT River w/its own little beach. AND at the front of the house you can watch the planes land at the Goodspeed Airstrip. These are not loud airplanes but little private planes. The Opera House has plays/musicals and outdoor dining again on the CT River. The views are amazing. The house has a huge deck to relax in AM w/coffee and PM w/a glass of wine. This is a hidden gem.
