10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (4)
"Beautifully updated home inside and out! Well stocked and very clean! The gas fireplace was definitely a plus! Location was perfect for a walk into town, or to get in the car and hop on the highway to go exploring. Owners were super accommodating and easy to work with as well."

Renovated Barn, Sidewalk Stroll into Essex Village & Marina
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"The RiverBarn is simply gorgeous! Not only is it architecturally unique but its beautifully decorated! The linens and towels are luxurious; beds are very comfortable. Great location to explore Connecticut -- or take a short walk into the charming village of Essex. Renee's thoughtful touches are why she's a superhost! I especially appreciated the high-quality products in the house -- both from local purveyors and other sources. I want to come back and experience this cozy place in the winter...

Our hotel after shows
"We stay at this hotel frequently. It is always clean, breakfast is nice with my favorite waffle machine and the staff is polite. It's a short distance to Mohegan and the sub base."
