This is our third year renting this house and it never disappoints! It’s perfect for the whole family - big enough that we’re not on top of each other and something for everyone to do. The game room and hot tub are always a big hit and the little touches around the house are fantastic!
It was a wonderful property and allowed plenty of room for every couple to have their own room. Kitchens were stocked and Debbie was very communicative.
This property had it all! So relaxing and comfortable. We had a large group and there was room for all of us. The back yard pol area is amazing as well as the game room. We definitely will be back!
The property is clean and huge. Nice game room with hot tub outside. The fireplace is also great with heating pole right next to it. Kids enjoyed the S'more one night, sweet and warm. It will be great if host can provide dehumidifier in basement.
We had such a wonderful time in East Haddam. The house is unique and wonderful. It was a perfect place for everyone with ages ranging 7-70 staying all together. It is an easy drive for day trips around the area and exploring the history in the local area. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic time, and really loved the pool area and game room. The owners were very accommodating and super quick with communication. Would definitely come back soon!

Spacious, full stocked, amenity filled home with enough room for family members to gather and/or spread out.The game room is perfect for all ages with a variety of choices for your competitive play. Grocery/liquor store and Gillette Castle State Park are minutes away.Beautiful area.
We had a wonderful stay. Home is beautiful and has many spaces to spend time with family. I would love to come back when the pool is open. Hosts responded quickly and were accommodating.
What a great week, family loved everything about the property! Game room is nicely done. Several trips into Old Saybrook also highlighted our stay. Hosts were very responsive throughout the stay when needed.
We had a wonderful family holiday in East Haddam, CT. The family enjoyed the gathering space, pool and hot tub. The spacious home had the necessary amenities especially the fully stocked kitchen for our two evenings of birthday celebrations, spa night and our daughter's engagement. We especially appreciated the attention to details like plenty of towels as well as beach towels, personal toiletries and plentiful toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. Debbie is responsive and clearly communicated promptly. We hope to return next summer!
The house was great and perfect for all ages. The kids had a ton of fun in the pool and game room while the adults enjoyed the hot tub! We enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating at the poolside bar when the weather was nice. The accommodations were more than enough for the 14 of us.
