About this property

Birdsong - Relaxation, Activities & Culture In Quaint Shoreline Town

Birdsong is a handicap accessible apartment, which is attached to the west side of our house with beautiful views of the sunsets. We have 2 acres of land with lush gardens and a waterfall and lily pond. The cathedral ceiling apartment, with plenty of natural light, has an open floor plan of a living room, dining area and kitchen with a separate bedroom. The bedroom has a queen size bed with California closets, while the bathroom has a handicap accessible shower and sink. In the kitchen you will find everything you will need to create your own favorite meals. Have breakfast, lunch or dinner on the terrace in this tranquil setting, while listening to the waterfall of the pond. A gas grill is available for use.

The town of Madison, which is located on Long Island Sound, is a perfect destination for relaxing an exploring. Centrally located - New York City is 2 hours away while Boston is 2 ½ and New Haven twenty minutes. The train from the downtown station will connect you with all of these destinations, but why leave the quaint town of Madison. Stroll through the town center and you will find an Cinema, the renowned RJ Julia ‘s independent bookstore, coffee shops, a cheese shop, International and American restaurants, boutiques, a library, outdoor sculpture by nationally renowned artists and a large grocery store.
Joining us for the summer? As is typical of New England towns, there is a green in town, where you will find concerts, a farmer’s market, arts and crafts fairs and antique shows from May through September. On the 4th of July weekend, join the local fun watching the parade, relaxing at the Pops summer concert and watching the fireworks.
Madison’s beaches, as well as, Hammonasset State Park (beach), have playgrounds, tables and grills for picnicking, sports fields and bocce/pétanque courts. (We will provide the pétanque balls.)
There are trails throughout town where you can hike and a nature center for birding and learning about the local animals.
There are a myriad of things to do for those cool or rainy days. You might decide to follow the Impressionist or the wine trial throughout Connecticut, or you might visit one of the many museums, go shopping (there are 2 Outlet Centers within a 20 minute drive), go to the theater, listen to live music or visit one of the gambling casinos.

Birdsong Bliss
The accommodations at Birdsong were spacious, comfortable & exceptionally clean! We were greeted by our hosts Kathleen & Dean, who gave us a tour & showed us everything we needed to know to make our stay as smooth as possible. We had delicious scones, wine, & beautiful flowers upon our arrival - we enjoyed the outdoor patio with the humming birds & lovely flowering landscape. Beach chairs , towels, umbrella & beach pass were available for us to use during our stay - there were lots of great restaurants nearby. Kathleen & Dean responded quickly to any questions we had throughout our weekend. It was so quiet & relaxing. We are looking forward to staying at Birdsong again soon! Trish & Bill

Beautiful location and property
Everything great - well-stocked and lovely yard and gardens. Mattress a bit too firm for us. Our only semi-complaint.

The very best of the best!
We were lucky to find this property last minute when our other rental with a competing company fell through due to cleanliness issues. The hosts were fantastic and welcoming. Spotless rental, you could eat off of the floors! Absolutely everything one needs for a comfortable stay was provided. Fully stocked kitchen, huge washer/dryer and great AC. The location is fabulous. Quiet, quaint and filled with the most lovely sounds of birds. We travel to Connecticut frequently to visit family and we will only be booking here going forward.
