Peaceful farm area, on the reservoir, near vineyards
This simply cozy studio looks out upon a hay field visited daily by deer and other wildlife. We let nature take its course here, plants and wildlife run free. The covered patio is a perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the geese land in the reservoir. The kitchenette includes a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, tea kettle and coffee machine. This is an open area studio, there is not a separate bedroom. This 4+ acre hay-farm property is bordered on 2 sides by the reservoir. We are within walking distance (about a mile) to two vineyards, and just a few minutes drive to downtown restaurants, shops and Choate campus. The main house is about 25 feet from the studio. No-cost early check-in and late check-out is available much of the time, just ask. Please note, regardless of where you park (on our paved driveway or on the designated grassy area so you are closer to the studio) you will need to walk 40 or so feet across lawn to access the Studio).
The hosts thought of everything to make our stay feel like home. The surrounding town provided scenic views and delicious food. The winery down the road is a must see for the evening sunset.
A very serene and beautiful property. The small cottage is wonderful and Beth was very accommodating to our needs . Would definitely stay every time we are in the area.
Lovely little cottage overlooking a pasture bordering a tranquil reservoir. We loved seeing the deer appearing in the pasture! The cottage is thoughtfully appointed and attractively decorated. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious patio with our morning coffee. Everything was just perfect for a relaxing break in a country setting - but also near the amenities of Wallingford.
Property was well appointed and maintained. Hosts made certain all was ready, clean, and well stocked with the essentials. The setting with the nearby water, trees, wild flowers and wildlife (deer, birds, rabbits, etc) was serene and restful. The nearby wineries are worth the visit and wide variety of restaurants and shopping was a plus.
