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.

We visited a few surrounding locales - Gillette Castle State Park, Devil's Hopyard, and a little farm where we could feed the goats. Fun time had by all. 5 stars! ##### Ann B.

The weather was perfect so we spent the whole weekend in the outdoor space. Watched football at the bar, swimming in the pool, jumping in the hot tub, and ending the night sitting around the fireplace. We hope to return soon! ##### sharon j.

We stayed for our annual Columbus Day weekend away with a group of 9 friends. The house was very comfortable and we had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the game room in the evenings - all the games were in excellent condition and everything was in working order (which has not usually been the case at other vacation rentals we have been to). We were lucky enough to have beatiful fall weather all weekend, so we could enjoy the lovely back yard. We made use of the gas grill, watch a playoff game on the big screen TV behind the outdoor bar, and sat around a roaring fire in the outdoor fireplace at night. We did have an issue with refrigerator, but the host was responsive. It wasn't able to be fixed during our stay, but luckily the house has a 2nd full size refrigerator in the basement. It was a little inconvenient, but we made do and the host was communicative and apologetic. We had a great weekend and hope to go back in the summer so we can use the beautiful pool! ##### Jeanette (Jeane) S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John V.

We recently stayed in this home for a family retreat and it exceeded all our expectations! The house had a fantastic game room and plenty of bedrooms to choose from, making it perfect for our family. It was well stocked with everything we needed to support our early holiday celebration. The house was as depicted and the hosts provided coffee and a fully stocked cabinet of cooking supplies, along with plenty of glasses, dishes, and cooking utensils. There was nothing we needed that we couldn’t find.There was also plenty of room to spread out, with a cozy living area off the kitchen and a great game room on the second floor featuring a big TV and comfortable couch. We had a blast playing pool, foosball, ping pong, and Pac-Man, and there were many board games to choose from as well. The numerous bathrooms meant there was never any waiting.Although it was winter and we couldn’t use the amazing pool, we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The three-car garage was incredibly handy as it snowed and was very cold outside. Debbie and Sean, the hosts, were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.We also took day trips to Mystic, Mohegan Sun, and the nearby Gillette Castle. There is plenty to do both inside and outside the house. Overall, we had an unforgettable stay and highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a perfect family retreat! ##### John V.

The house is unique and wonderful. It was a perfect place for everyone with ages ranging 7-70 staying all together. It is an easy drive for day trips around the area and exploring the history in the local area. Highly recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim D.
