Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cozy space and found the location great for exploring eastern CT. It's a bummer The Bidwell Tavern was closed—definitely have to check it out next time! You're welcome back anytime.

We feel it is important to clarify the facts regarding this review, as it was left out of retaliation after a refund request was denied. When the guest raised concerns about an odor, our team responded immediately. Our professional cleaner went on-site, conducted a thorough inspection, and verified that there was no smoke odor, with air quality indicators showing excellent results. Despite this, the guest chose to leave voluntarily. The following day, the guest actually entered the property without authorization, violating platform safety policies. Once notified, we took immediate action, and the guest was forced to leave the site after being told local authorities would be involved. Vrbo support was subsequently notified, and they officially canceled the reservation to uphold safety guidelines. We take the cleanliness and comfort of our home extremely seriously, and all of our past and subsequent guests have consistently enjoyed clean, odor-free stays without any issues. We always strive to provide a wonderful experience for every traveler.

I am sorry that our property did not fully meet your expectations. Our home received professional cleaning and maintenance on the day of your arrival. While our team did not notice any unusual odors, any scent you encountered was likely from the professional cleaning products used, and we apologize if it was not to your liking. We also provide a Dyson air purifier for your convenience. Regarding the kitchen floor, those marks are from recent floor refinishing, not dirt. I regret that we were not given the opportunity to assist you, as I was informed of these concerns only after your departure. My goal is always to provide a wonderful experience, and I am glad to hear that you were able to find a comfortable stay at a hotel.

Hi William, thank you for your feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed the location and found the unit clean. I have shared your comments with my cleaning team, and they will ensure extra ventilation during future turnovers. Also, for your future reference, there is an air purifier available in the closet to keep the air fresh. We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable space for all our guests. We appreciate your helpful tips for other travelers and hope to host you again!
