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!

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!

Perfect Family Getaway!!

What an absolutely perfect home for a family vacation! We had so much space to spread out across four levels, yet plenty of inviting spots to gather together. The huge game room on the second level became our go-to fun zone, while the main-level living room and the basement rec room—complete with a full kitchen—offered even more options for relaxing and entertaining.But the true showstopper? The backyard. The large pool was the ideal temperature with the perfect balance of deep and shallow ends. Our adult children especially loved the outdoor bar with TV—mornings spent working on laptops over coffee, and afternoons and evenings filled with laughter and conversation. The firepit and fireplace areas were wonderful for cozy nights, and the convenient outdoor bath and shower made life so much easier, especially with the grandkids.The well-equipped kitchen and spacious dining areas made mealtimes a breeze, and the peaceful lemonade porch became our favorite place to unwind.This is a beautiful home in a stunning location—thoughtfully designed for comfort, fun, and making memories. We would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone and are already considering rebooking for another stay!

Wonderful, long weekend!

We had a wonderful stay here over a long weekend. The house was amazing and just what we needed for three families-plenty of beds, living areas, and outdoor space to do things together but also have a little space if one needed it. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and do more things in the surrounding area though we did make it to the castle (so cool!) and the train ride. Communication was also great and speedy. Highly recommend this spot-we are hoping to go back next year for sure!
