Park in the driveway by white front door for easy access. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warmth of the fireplace, the westerly view and the convenience of free WiFi, a washing machine, and a smart TV for your entertainment.

There are also a nearby winery and a distillery (open weekends) that use locally grown produce for their products. If up for a a walk, enjoy the public trail ( from sunrise to sunset) that crosses our wooded acres to the north west and connects to other public hiking trails to the southeast.

We enjoy the house almost as much as the festival. The house is charming and has a rich history. I feel like I’m visiting a house my Great grandparents built. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love all the windows and rock fireplace. The view of the pond is an added plus. This is our second year, attending the festival, and being at the house. We hope to make it a tradition. 5 Stars hands down. I’d give it more if I could! ##### Christine D. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret H.

I found this gem and couldn't resist its beautiful charm. The house is surrounded by beautiful tree-lined roads and a very serene view out the windows from the kitchen to the living area. There is a pond in which geese , turtles , and fish live. It was very comfortable and ideal if you appreciate nature and quiet surroundings. The only thing I would recommend is curtains in the living area. It truly was a memorable stay! The owner is very nice, easy to reach if needed. 👍👍🙌 ##### Margaret H.

May 26, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Secluded but a bit dilapidated The seclusion and privacy of the property is certainly there, though a security gate or at a minimum a “private drive” sign would have given some added peace of mind. There were kids drink straws and pieces of trash in the driveway upon arrival, tiles on the sidewalk were broken and many of the light fixtures didn’t work. The large windows looking out toward the pond were very dirty and the outside framing was rotting away. The back porch tile was falling apart and two of the doors headed out back opened to areas you would not want to step into. One of the beds had a broken box spring and mattress that leaned heavily to the side. The floor in the hallway had a trapdoor that is hidden until it pinched my wife’s toe so bad it made it bleed (found it was a large hinged panel in the floor with the light from the phone while investigating what cut her). The place has potential, it is just a bit dilapidated for use as a rental. ##### James M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen A.

Feb 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Wake up with the sun! The unit is in a nice area in the country but after I found a tick on me in February we didn't go out. The owners live in the attached unit next door, separated only by a wooden door so ALL the sound goes both ways. You can hear them put dishes away and talk--but rarely--they were super quiet most of the time. They never complained about us being noisy although my son kept later hours due to the time change and could occasionally be loud because of medical issues. The host was responsive and ordered a us a crock pot for our stay when I asked. She met us when we arrived and opened the lock box. Go slowly up the driveway as there is a drainage dip and bumps that cars might bottom out on if low to the ground. The curtains in the master bedroom aren't lined but seem to keep out most light except that they aren't wide enough to cover the windows. I rigged towels, pillows, and a chair to cover the remainder of the window. The kids/twin beds room is terrible though with only white unlined curtains around 2 sides of the room so my 13 year old son couldn't sleep well at all after the sun came up since it was so bright. He said the twin beds at first seemed comfortable but weren't. The queen was fine. Liked the wood floors but they do creak loudly and are uneven in places. You can't turn the WIFI off but can unplug the extender which decreases it. Sign into your own accounts for TV/movies--or maybe I just couldn't figure it out. Plenty of pots and pans and dishes. BYO bedside clocks. ##### Emily N. Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica B.

We found the location excellent for exploring the beautiful Western Connecticut countryside. ##### John S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janine R. Sep 6, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### First Experience in Shelton This property was built in the 1950’S and needs a lot of updating. The furniture on the website was different from what was in the house. There was a grill that was not useable. The house some insect issues but we’re resolved by an exterminator after we contacted owner. There were other issues but the owner took cate of them in a timely manner. Very quiet area. Roku TV was hard to operate. We had Xfinity in FL so we could get some TV. Overall it is a very quiet and secluded home. Owner very responsive to any issues we had. ##### Janine R.

There is a large pond surrounded by a forest that can be seen from the house and it is a difficult view to leave behind. Will stay again. ##### Jonathan B.
