Circa 1830 house located in the historic district of East Haddam Village which includes the Goodspeed Opera House and Landing, Gelston House and Restaurant, and the historic Swing Bridge. Enjoy views of the Connecticut River from the house and deck, cool breezes in summer, and acres of trees changing color in the fall. In winter a propane stove provides cozy comfort as you watch the snow come down. Theatre and great restaurants walking distance. Farmers markets, shopping, museums East Haddam itself as well as in many nearby quaint and historic villages including nearby Chester and Essex. Boating on the river, hikes on the home's 1.5 acres and adjacent wooded areas. Gillette Castle and Devil's Hopyard State Parks are also in East Haddam. Near the Long Island Shoreline with its beaches and seafood. The home has original details throughout, including wide-plank wood floors, original glass in the windows, a dutch door in the kitchen leading out to a brick terrace, and traditional paint colors from the mid-1800's. Furnished with a mixture of some contemporary and many antique pieces that make it feel cozy and a step back in time. The views from almost every window are breathtaking - the wide Connecticut River to the front, and old-growth trees and limestone walls stretching up in the back to the cliffs above. Dishes, cookware, and silver are a combination of new and antique, with a blender, refrigerator in the eat-in kitchen, and a full size washer and dryer on the ground floor. The home is located in the historic district of East Haddam, CT, enabling guests to enjoy the serenity of the woods and the river while also being able to walk to the village of East Haddam.

We got lucky with some mild weather in March and took advantage of the balcony with beautiful views of the river. And the gas fireplace was great for warming us up in the mornings. Lots of cute little areas to sit and also to work. The main living area has big comfortable chairs and a nice corner dining table. Communication with owner was superb and check-in and out process very simple. Would definitely recommend staying here!! ##### Niki G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica H. Dec 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, Charming & Convenient We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, historic home! From the moment we booked, Vince was communicative and so easy to work with. Checking in was a breeze and the home is very well appointed. While the home has maintained so much original charm, it is also outfitted with all the modern conveniences you’d expect, including an extremely effective heating system. We had plenty of room for our family to spread out and everyone enjoyed comfortable sleeping spaces. The area is absolutely gorgeous and we had a blast exploring. Don’t miss Galette Castle or the Goodspeed Opera House. We were lucky enough to catch a show there! There are absolutely adorable shops nearby and fantastic restaurants. Our favorites were the River Tavern and the newly renovated Brushmill in nearby Chester. You will not be disappointed with this truly remarkable home. ##### Erica H.

The gorgeous antique house is right over the swing bridge and situated high up with incredible Connecticut River views. The house is welcoming and so comfortable and the owner is super responsive to any requests or questions. It was so much fun exploring the big property with my dog. The house is old but has super fast WiFi internet which I need for work. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with a gas stove dishwasher and everything you need to cook. Having two bathrooms and a really nice laundry room too is super convenient. The bedrooms were so comfortable with views of the river and nice beds. It was just amazing and magical and relaxing and I enjoyed my stay so much I am already planning to return again. Do not hesitate to book this comfortable beautiful exceptional property it is so much nicer than the most luxurious hotel! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 29 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise V. Dec 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Even More Than Expected Beyond our fondest wish, this 4-bedroom and beautifully landscaped location has it all. Clean and well-equipped / supplied, with a very cozy gas fireplace, easy to operate and fitting in style to the decor of the home. A surprise salon is bathed in sunlight with two porches and technically speaking outdoor access was available through 5 doors, 3 easily accessible. The river view was as beautiful as a postcard and out to the back was over an acre of wooded maple trees sloping up to a huge cliff rock. Kitchen complete with gourmet gas stove, huge refrigerator, and a dishwasher. 3 tables for dining, including a formal dining room, complete with cloth napkins. Really nicely thought out and fun. Washer and dryer in basement and brick patio for BBQ. Another surprise was the studio-workshop halfway up the hill with room to dance and play, if not actually create (complete with drafting table). For us it was a perfect fit and would be for families and friends. Almost like stepping back in time. ##### Denise V. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen O.

May 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Riverside CT Country Getaway This updated 1852 house along the Connecticut river was an ideal place to spend some time with our college student daughter. It’s away from the rat race, but it’s not isolated. It’s on an occasionally busy road that parallels the Connecticut river. The house has a great view of sunsets across the river. The house is roomy and the kitchen is a real plus, with a nice propane range. There’s a great local grocer across the river in Haddam, and bigger chain groceries nearby. There are three different sitting rooms, which means plenty of space to spread out. The house is a mix of new and old. Expect things like door handles, floor boards, windows, and stairs to be period. HVAC is an add-on., with window unit air conditioning in the summer. But there’s plenty of hot water, laundry, and good Internet/WiFi/cable. It’s a great place for us to stay. That the current owner, who’s an awesome, highly responsive host, bought the place after staying in it, tells you all you need to know. ##### James C.

The views are great, and it's about a half mile from the main part of town, some really cute restaurants and shops. There's lots of space, and the sitting room has a great view of the river. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great most of the time I was there, but obviously can't hold that against the house! I wish I had been able to have the windows open more and enjoy the breeze in the sitting room. I was in town for a wedding that was 10 minutes away, I would highly recommend this house to anyone needing a spot in town! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance S. Jun 25, 2018 #### Felt right at home! Perfect house, perfect location. As a kid growing up in Middlesex County I remembered passing the Goodspeed Opera House and the old swing bridge between Haddam and East Haddam and thinking this has to be an ideal location. The house is situated less than half a mile from the village with the bridge and the opera house, within the historic district, overlooking the Connecticut River. It is well appointed and Christine and Luke are very friendly and helpful. I plan to stay there again on my future trips home to Connecticut. ##### Lance S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim J. Jun 19, 2018 #### Fabulous spring trip! The house was exactly what I was hoping for. It was perfect for an intimate bridal brunch. The porch in the morning and evening were beautiful with the Connecticut river peeking through the trees and the birds visiting daily to serenade me. The town is so adorable. Higher Grounds is a coffee café that I highly recommend. We had family activities but made sure to visit Gillette's Castle. The kitchen was well supplied and there is plenty of nooks and crannies in the house to curl up with a good book, which they had shelves of! Highly recommend in early June. The weather was that perfect cool mornings and evenings, and great temps during the day. ##### Kim J.

What a treat .... house overlooks Connecticut River. This lovely old home was roomy and well appointed .... everything we needed for our family gathering. Great location in a charming town.
