Half Way Point
Haddam was the half-way point for my daughter who lives in Maine and we're from PA. The Haddam house was a perfect home away from home experience we needed to spend time together as a family. The bridge is under construction but other then that it was a great place and great stay. Thank you!

Great Hidden Gem!
I stayed here with my 2 sons, it was very cute, comfortable, well appointed, and had a wonderful little beach that the children loved playing on. We had a wonderful stay and the views on the river were amazing! Absolutely worth another visit. Thank you!
