This home is a great "jumping-off place to see the areas from New Haven up to Rhode Island. It faces Long Island Sound and driving north to Massachusetts is a snap. There are a multitude of varied destinations close at hand, but being able to kick back and relax without going anywhere is a highlight. Excellent restaurants within 5 - 10 minutes of home.
Initially I dealt with a brother;later we were turned us over to a sister who lives in the area. Between the two, they take great pride in their ancestral home, and it shows! No detail escaped them in preparation for our arrival. "Customer Service" is outstanding and available 24/7!
The home itself is pristine and abundantly stocked with linens, etc. It is very attractively furnished and decorated. My husband was fascinated by the doors which were obviously made by hand.
We experienced unusually hot weather for October, but window units kept the bedrooms comfortable; however, before we left, we had turned on the heater and it worked well, too.
As the home is about 150 years old, one should realize the steps to the second floor are steep and shallow, but not a problem for most people.
Our group included three generations aged 71 to 2 years. All had plenty of space inside and out with two very separate living areas. Not a one of us even put a toe in the water but it was perfectly delightful to watch sailboats, birds, and other marine activities from the comfort of almost every room.
It is imperative that any place we stay be Pet Free...not just "pets not accepted". There were absolutely no allergens, just as we were assured.
