About this property

Writer's Retreat & Explorer's Adventure, S of Rte. 1 Madison!

Experience a combination of spectacular marsh and water views along with designer inspired finishes. Kayak out to the Long Island Sound or enjoy the sun rising over the marsh among the Great Blue Herons.

We are committed to making your stay peaceful and easy, whether you're a writer looking for new inspiration or a small group looking to explore the marsh and everything else this beautiful shoreline town has to offer. Featuring 2 well positioned bedrooms at opposite ends of the house with living and laundry rooms in between it makes for a larger feel and it's DIRECTLY on the water. A twin alcove bunk allows for an additional sleeping option with direct water views, a great place for someone to perch and keep an eye on all of the nature outside the wall of windows as the sun comes up.

Ice cool air conditioning in the summer and cozy heat in the winter!

Smart TVs throughout the house allow you to bring your favorite apps with you along with high-speed fiber optic internet service, you can keep in touch with the office from a place that feels Far Farrr away.

Don't worry about getting your clothes dirty on your new adventures. A washer and dryer are located next to the kitchen for your convenience!

In addition to the brand-new kitchen stocked with all the basics don't forget to add some grilling items to the Instacart order or take a trip to Clinton and experience the new impressive Big Y grocery store. We have a Webber grill mounted on the deck off of the kitchen! 

We have lived and visited the river house for years now and not one of those days have we forgot to comment in awe of the views. Having access to such a Gem of a property is something we are happy to share with you and look forward to helping build lasting memories for years to come.

Perfection
My month-long stay was absolutely wonderful. Hunter was an amazing, proactive host. The weather wasn't cooperative in the beginning of my stay, but Hunter went above and beyond to make sure whatever issues arose were taken care of and I couldn't be happier to have made this choice. I will definitely be back!

Mid week get-a-way
Love love loved the wall of windows and being so close to the water and watching the ducks come and go with the tides. Loved facing the sunrise! I took so many beautiful pictures. Look forward to staying here again!

River house
This house was very cute , clean and well laid out. Enjoyed being on the water, sometimes it felt like you where in a house boat. Great peaceful place! Hunter was a great host.
