Everything was great, I had to bring in a humidifier, everyone had bloody noses from the dry heat. Super cute house. Thank you , my grandkids were very comfortable there! I’ll come back in the summer, all that coldness and snow was crazy, this girls from south Texas where it’s 85 and sunny. Enjoyed it though

We had a wonderful stay at this East Haddam home! The host went above and beyond to make our visit special by helping me surprise my friend for her birthday which was greatly appreciated. The host was super kind and helpful in answering any questions and communicating with me when needed. The house itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we truly enjoyed our time there. The house is fully equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need to feel like at home, which we loved. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay again!
