We loved the thoughtful beauty of the home and the property. The home is beautifully designed, with roof angles that maximize the natural lighting through high windows and open spaces that facilitate social interaction. Also, the property is lit in every area for security. Approaching the property from the south, it's hard to see the turnout because of the trees that back the house, but once we arrived on the property, there was lots of parking for several cars.The two decks that overlook the river are a womderful place to relax and watch the traffic on the Thames. The sights include tugs moving barges, sculling crews from the college across the river, and freight trains on the tracks beside the house. We also spent a lot of time on rainy days playing pool on the high-quality table in the living room.Everyone in our group thought the beds were extremely comfortable. All of the beds were large enough for two adults and, though we did not have toddlers, there were accommodations for little ones. In addition, there were plenty of outlets to serve the needs of people with CPAP or other nighttime needs.George, our host, checked in with us during our stay and was available throughout.The location is fine in terms of access to restaurants and stores.We highly recommend this property for a relaxikng stay.

Gorge is super nice and accommodating. The house was very spacious and over looked the water. We also got to experience the navy play the national anthem every morning. You will need a car to drive to things as it’s not close to much . Overall nice stay.

Quick weekend stay with friends and family for the Christmas craft fair at Mohegan. Beautiful location on the Thames. Right next to the Naval base, but very quiet - except for the 8 a.m. Star Spangled Banner ( loved it!). Very comfy and roomy. Beds were fair. Loved the pool table. Wish the weather was a tad better to be able to hang out on the porch looking out at the river. If in the area, will definitely stay again!
