Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Fairfield County

Spacious home with a nice outside area. Enjoyed coffee with birds and bunnies. Will stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic house. It is full of character: we especially loved the massive fireplace where meals were presumably prepared back when it was an inn in the 1700s. It is also ridiculously spacious and very well furnished and equipped for a group of 10: the dining table easily seats 10, there is ample comfortable seating in the living room (not to mention at least 3 other sitting rooms one could gather in), and 8 of us were simultaneously cooking in the kitchen without anyone bumping elbows. Cooking here is a dream: there is a 6-burner+grill stove, 2 ovens, and all the equipment you could want (including a KitchenAid stand mixer and Vitamix blender). Moreover, Carly was an excellent host: she was always quick to respond, her messages were clear, and she generously allowed us to stay an extra hour to make our timing work out well. We highly recommend this house and would love to return.

Pete was very responsive and the rental was exactly as described. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very nice. Recommend if you are looking for a quiet place to stay in the White Plains area.

We loved this house, it's beautiful inside and out. We watched deer in the early morning and had a dozen or more flowering trees dotting our view. The house is immaculate, and the kitchen is a dream for prepping and cooking. We were able to visit Yale, ocean beaches, wonderful restaurants, and ran into two farmers markets full with welcoming artists.. we had a rainy evening and enjoyed listening to the rain while we read. It's a great location if you want to do a Gilmore Girls weekend. If you know, you know. Thank you Kathleen for sharing your home.

Our stay included spending family time in front of the fireplace watching Disney shows and with time spent enjoying meals around the cozy kitchen table. Enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back one day

Terry and Jack’s place was perfect for us staying in Newtown visiting friends but we could also drive to Manhattan for day trips. House had everything you’d need and they even helped us get a crib delivered early/picked up later after we left. Super nice and responsive hosts! Will definitely stay again!

We loved Erin’s style, her beautiful cottage was comfortable and welcoming from the first. We found all we needed in the kitchen and everything worked well. The home was light and bright and well thought out. The grounds around the house were heavenly, with grassy dappled pathways through the woods and a gorgeous pond beyond the garden, with a river running through. Endless bird song and deer passing by, it was charming and peaceful. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful and tranquil home. Perfect for hosting family and friend that were in town for graduation. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Barbara’s beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The house is full of charm and character, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a true home away from home. The location was perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to everything we wanted to explore. We especially loved the cozy fireplace, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. Barbara & Patty were incredibly responsive and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. This was our 3rd time staying here and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful getaway. We’d definitely love to return in the future!

Ronnie & Brian’s place is awesome! Tons of space and very well maintained. Great location. They are very responsive and we will definitely be back!

Extremely satisfied with mine and my families stay! Great location. Cozy feel. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

I would highly recommend this place, Tracy was very helpful. She gave us clear instructions. She had the place prepared for us. She even customized for us a card and guiding us to where everything is, the place was very clean, very well taken care of, and a lot of thoughts went into designing this place with all the amenities and comfortabilities

We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless and incredibly well-prepared. The host went above and beyond—there was a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board waiting for us when we arrived, which was such a thoughtful touch. She truly thought of everything we might need, from toiletries to kitchen essentials, including a variety of snacks/breakfast items, coffee and teas. It made our stay comfortable, relaxing and stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Janet's place was perfect for my visit. plenty of space in the apartment to spread out. it had everything I needed and didn't feel cluttered. and it was squeaky clean.

Graham has created a beautiful oasis walkable to town. His work building the back lounge area and path to the tracks is perfect. He is stewarding the land behind the house and making an awesome sanctuary.

Melissa was an amazing host from the minute we booked the reservation. Her home was beautiful and provided a sense of peace. The binder with local activities as well as restaurants was extremely helpful and although it rained our whole weekend we didn't mind because the hot tub area was so nice. Will definitely be back again!

We had a wonderful Hudson Valley stay at this property. Our grand-daughters loved sleeping together in the bedroom with two double beds; and my wife and I, plus our two daughters and their husbands enjoyed good nights of sleep in the three bedrooms containing a double or queen bed. The kitchen was well equipped; and the huge living room with large dining table was perfect for the children to play, the adults to relax, and all of us to eat. The artwork in the house gave it character, the views of the Hudson River were a treat, and the location was great for visits to Storm King Art Center and Legoland NY. The email which I brought along from AirBnB had the correct street, but the wrong numerical address; however, AirBnB promptly helped us find the correct address and helped us get into the house. Of all the houses which we have rented for family weekends, this was absolute the best one.

Outstanding stay. Property is very well located, equipped, landscaped, maintained, and furnished.

Such a great stay at this lakeside spot in Bridgeport! The place was very modern and beautifully designed. Everything felt fresh and up to date. The lake view was amazing, and we enjoyed hanging out outside by the water. It was perfect for our large family and worked out well for our long stay while our house was being fixed. It felt nice and private, but still so close to everything we needed. Daymane was a great host—friendly and easy to stay in touch with the whole time. Would def stay here again!

We had a great time at the airbnb. The house is beautiful, well furnished, and comfortable. The location is great - easy drive from NYC to get out into nature and take a break from the city. Robin was a fantastic host - very communicative and responsive, provided plenty of guidance on what to do in the area. Hope to be able to come again soon.

We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The view of the water was everything and was accessible from nearly every room. The home was modern and easily accommodated our large group. Yet it was cozy and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would ever want. It is ideal for children with every toy imaginable. There was a highchair and a pack and play for our toddler and child appropriate dishes. The kitchen was fully equipped and had 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and 3 tables for dining. The beautiful pool and hot tub were in constant use. Mary is very thoughtful and assembled a ringed binder with important contacts and suggestions for dining, shopping and entertainment. Although there was no beach on the property there are nearby beaches. The towns of Guilford and (nearby) Madison are charming and well worth visiting. Mary was very accommodating and responded promptly to several inquiries.

The house is very modern, clean and organized. Nice stay, but too bad the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy the outdoor space.

Our second time at Hopewell Junction did not disappoint. We love this home because Anuja really understands what a guest needs and would like - so many extra touches, like beautiful linens, nice soaps and shampoos, wood for fire, lots of cookware and serving pieces, and beautiful art. Beds are comfy and towels are top notch. It snowed while we were there, beautiful, and the drive was promptly plowed. Our friends speak Danish, and they kept using the word hygge for the house. (Cosy and welcoming) We agree and will definitely be back. Thank you Anuja for another lovely stay!

Dove Haven is truly a special spot that shows that someone (Patty) cares about it a lot. The house is very well stocked and we never lacked for anything. And the collection of available umbrellas was greatly appreciated (yes, a bit of rain). Spacious hot tub (accommodates 8, nicely) is well-located on adjacent deck with beautiful view of spectacular garden. Rare to find a place where each of the five bedrooms, (with en suite or nearby bathroom), would be a master bedroom in a typical Airbnb. The master bedroom lives up to the billing with a monstrous bathroom including an inviting tub and a private porch. Public tennis courts and public pickleball courts nearby (less than a mile down West Rock Ave) were a treat. As was brunch at Bella’s Cafe (highlighted in Patty’s online notebook). Just plain terrific from beginning to end.
