This private rental unit is located on the second floor of a two family house. The owners live in the rest of the house. There are no shared spaces between units. You enter from a private second floor deck into the main room, featuring a fully equipped kitchen with an antique farm sink, books, board games, a coffee station and a flat screen tv. Although this room is not huge (200 sq feet) there is ample seating for 8 and a coffee table. For additional dining options there are tray tables available, and a large outdoor dining area. The side bedroom features a twin over double bunk bed, a comfy chair, and a closet and dresser. In the front of the house is a small sunroom, which can also be used as a bedroom, with two loveseats for lounging that pull out into twin size beds. Up a set of stairs is a charming converted attic. (Please note that this is a loft style space with very low sloped ceilings - 5’ 10” at its highest) There is one queen and two twin beds, a dresser, and a seating area. The bathroom includes a tub/shower, bidet toilet, and a well stocked vanity. There is a spacious outdoor shower at the base of the steps

Although we may occasionally use the pool when you are not outside, and at times we need to tend to the gardens and mow the lawn, we do not use the backyard amenities when our guests are. When you are using the pool, patio, screened porch, etc. you will not be sharing with anyone! There is a pack and play for those with a small child. TV is ROKU equipped so you can access all your streaming accounts. Pool and outdoor shower are open seasonally. Guests must be able to climb stairs. Stairs to third floor are a bit steep and the ceilings are very low. We are on well water and a septic system. For those who dislike the taste of well water, we provide a Brita pitcher. There is one outdoor security camera which only shows the entrance to the unit, there are no other cameras inside or outside. My husband John and I live in the other half of the house and are available for anything you may need.


Our house is just minutes from Pickerel Lake, Bashan Lake, Upper and Lower Moodus lakes, Day Pond State Park, Salmon River State Forest, and more!
