Phenomenal place!
Our family of five found the house to be incredible spacious, stylish and it had all the comforts of home. The beds, pillows and comforters were to quality and extremely comfortable. They had coffee, sugar, paper towels and all the things we needed for our weekend stay. The house is just 2 blocks from the adorable town center with great food and ice cream. We were visiting family nearby, but will come back for a longer stay just to enjoy the house!

Wonderful Property, Amenities, Location
Having grown up in the Central Connecticut area, we were happy to find this property for our family visit. Old Wethersfield is a wonderful place to stay - convenient to all major and minor attractions, easy access to 91/84. The property is well equipped for family stay, has ample resources for cooking/food preparation, and is a great home-away-from-home feel. For those not familiar with Hartford, it’s only a few minutes to West Hartford Malls & Shops, Old Wethersfield has more eating places than you could utilize in a week, and plenty of Norman Rockwell like charm. For the adventurous types, it’s only a few minutes to Hartford (things like the Children’s Museum, UCONN, Library, Wardsworth Atheneum Museum, Mark Twain House, Harriett Beecher Stowe House, Bushnell Theatre, Hartford Stage, etc.). We managed to revisit many of these with ease during our week. For the more adventurous types, an hour is all it takes to get to many of the shoreline beaches, Mystic Aquarium, or even Sturbridge Village in Mass. As for the house, there was ample off-street parking, a nice backyard with chairs and fire pit, plenty of space for luggage in the entryway, along with ample couches, open space, dining areas, etc. Overall a great place to stay, and one of our new favorite places when we visit. Highly recommend.
