Waterfront holiday rentals in Hartford County

Phillip and Jennifer were extremely kind and gracious hosts. The setting is beautiful, with easy walks to the shoreline, shops, restaurants, etc. The accommodations were exactly as advertised, and perfect for an individual with work responsibilities who also wants a beautiful, peaceful location. I plan to be back!

Great little spot. This rental has everything you need. Forget something-they got it. Very clean and modern with thoughtful touches. Had an extended stay here and extended for longer. 1 bedroom with loft that owner made into another bedroom for me. Loved it. Great deck, stunning lake view from all the windows. Owner very responsive to any needs. 100 percent recommend. Neighborhood lovely and quiet. Amazing respite.

Our stay at this lovely Mystic apartment was nothing short of perfect. The location near the river made for a peaceful and scenic escape, and it was just a short walk to everything—shops, restaurants, and the mystic drawbridge. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches. I especially loved enjoying my morning coffee on the front porch. We took the kayaks out for a paddle right from the end of the street from property—such a peaceful way to experience the Mystic River!

Pleasant stay in a clean, cozy space. There is a bit of noise from traffic on the nearby road, but not a big issue for us. Would stay here again.

We were recently in town to visit family, staying at Traci’s made our visit enjoyable and relaxing. Check-in was easy, the apartment was clean with a comfortable bed and a peaceful view of the brook. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, thank you Traci!

The space is very clean. I stayed 2 nights and brought my dog with me. The only thing that I was surprised about was that there wasn't a door to the bedroom area. I had looked at the pictures and assumed the door I saw was to the bedroom but it was a closet. The bed area is separated by a partial wall but not an actual door. Something to keep in mind if you have additional people sleeping on the pull out couch.

I spent the weekend at this beautiful lakeside apartment. The apartment is attached to the main home, but it is very private. There is a sloped driveway, that leads to the house. There is plenty of parking at the top near the street, and an individual space for guests, down pretty close to the door where to check-in, so I didn't have far to bring my luggage to my vehicle. My stay was so peaceful and allowed me some rest and relaxation. People were boating, fishing, and swimming in the lake. I enjoyed getting some sunshine on the upper balcony. Mark and Tina are the perfect hosts! They are the nicest couple you will ever meet. They made me feel right at home, including my dogs. Communication was excellent as any requests via text were immediately answered, and they were very flexible. I wish my stay was longer. I am hoping my schedule will allow me to return and stay again in the future. Thank you, Mark and Tina, for a wonderful weekend. I hope to see you again!

This was a quick trip to the area to break up the drive to a further destination. Joy's little 18thc apartment was perfect. Joy met and explained everything needed, and was very helpful with local suggestions for dining and activities.Was'nt here long enough to experience any of the hiking trails,.etc but truly seems like a place I'd like to return. if you're lucky, you will meet the inimitable Baloo!

I highly recommend staying at the Riverside Blues House. It is in a charming location and a really well thought out property to stay. Liza really put a lot of thought into making the home not only comfortable but also very welcoming. From the moment I walked in the door you can feel the love in every room. The house is extremely clean with plenty of extras that made my stay very enjoyable. Thank you Liza!

This is our second visit in the Recycle House. It’s such a lovely oasis. We love all the unique touches and creative uses of materials throughout the house. The location just steps from the charming town of Chester could not be better. The perfect CT weekend getaway!

My husband and I stayed at Peter's lake house from June 9th to the 12th. We found the home to be clean and bright, as well as spacious. The bed we slept in was comfortable with soft linens, and both bathrooms were clean with plenty of towels. It's a quiet neighborhood and although we didn't use the backyard, we found it to be private with a nice patio. The last minute tasks before check out were very basic. Peter was a great host, very welcoming and communicative. We felt right at home staying at his house and we would definitely book it again!

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and comfortable lake house. The setting was serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway—and the home itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive, always quick to reply to any questions via text, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

The charming house is in the most beautiful settings - tall trees with a creek running through. So peaceful! Secluded, but a short drive to cute shops and restaurants.

My girlfriends and I had an amazing stay! The house is stunningly gorgeous—even more beautiful than the photos. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing and fun getaway. The space was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. We truly had a great time and felt right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and memorable escape!

This lovely lakeside cottage was the perfect backdrop for a family weekend away! Thank you to our host for being extremely accommodating and kind!!

We enjoyed our stay at Jill and Elia’s. It lived up to its positive reviews - very clean, well-appointed and they included special touches that we appreciated and made us smile. We would certainly stay again.

This was a great place to reset. I will say, don't get intimidated when you 1st walk in. The floors are a bit wonky and the walls are very thin. But I never felt more at home than when I saw my space. The neighbors were so friendly and the walk to the beach was about a block. Though it was cold we truly enjoyed the beach. And walked down there multiple times a day. There is also a gas station and convenience store 3min driving and very walkable.

We considered staying at Mohegan Sun for our weekend event there, but we are so glad we chose to stay here instead. It was a peaceful little escape! Taylor thought of everything and we never ran into any issues. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a pleasant time at Peter's place. He was a great host and was very responsive. It was just what we needed for some rest and relaxation on the beach after a week of hiking in the white mountains. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the stay. Price, location, communication and apartment were all top notch. We had a great week, definitely recommend, hope to be back.

Stayed here for 4 months! Loved the apartment and the location. Would highly recommend.

Everything went well. Host was responsive and helpful.

The stay was very peaceful, friendly neighbors. The scenery was great, Desiree was there for any concerns we had, and with timely response. I would anyone that want a pleasurable stay while in Norwich, this is the place to be. Thanks again, for a wonderful stay. William & Potreen

The Honey Spot was breath taking. The lighting through out the entire space along with the art work on the wall gave me an experience that I wasn't expecting. It was fantastic! I took advantage of the top shelf amenities that was provided with this space. Everything was clean and well organized. I had no problems locating anything. I felt safe and all of my needs were accommodated. The media system, and sound system were the highlight of my stay. Bravo Ricardo! My stay exceeded my expectations! Thank you for being a gracious and phenomenal host.
