Find Places to Stay in Lyme on Airbnb

It isn't possible to say too many good things about June's bungalow. The location is so tranquil and so beautiful. Morning coffee, gazing out at the pond, watching the ducks and sunrise. A pellet stove to keep us warm and cozy when temperatures dropped. Abundant towels and culinary supplies. Lovely neighbors. This really felt like a home, not a hotel. June was super responsive, caring but not intrusive. My dog and I would go back in a minute, and we both highly recommend it to other human and canine guests. Both are equally welcomed!

June’s place was the perfect cozy getaway and her hospitality exceeded our expectations! The pellet stove was easy to use so we could make it extra cozy during our late December stay. We were easily able to checkin with a lock box and was greeted with yummy treats for us and our two dogs. This Airbnb is the perfect place if you have behaved pups. We set up dog beds in the living room and they loved the pellet stove. The yard isn’t fenced but there’s plenty of space for them to run around while we enjoyed the view of the pond. June had all of the kitchen gadgets for cooking making it easy to stay in for meals. We found a hiking trail just 5 minutes away called “red trail to blue trail” on the All Trails app. Very easy trail with little to no incline but perfect for a short walk with the dogs. The neighborhood is quiet but in just a short drive you can be in the fun town of Mystic! We’d move into this adorable bungalow in a second that’s how much we loved it. You won’t be disappointed!

June’s place is beautiful! Nestled on a lake in a quiet neighborhood, the house is very cute and comfortable. June is very responsive and helpful!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Old Lyme. June's cottage is lovely and perfectly located for beautiful walks, restaurants and shops. We love it!

2nd time staying at June's - such a lovely time, as always. Hate saying goodbye!

Such a cozy and welcoming home for the weekend! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and it was nothing short of amazing! From waking up and having breakfast by the pond in the screened in porch to enjoying a drink and watching the sunset we wouldn’t change a thing about this trip! June is such an amazing host from her hospitality to her tips and guide of the area! She really helps make your stay memorable! She filled the fridge with every day needs like water, eggs, and bread. And was kind enough to leave snacks like chips and more! She was extremely accommodating when we asked for an earlier check in time and even stopped by to show us how to use the beautiful pellet stove in the living room! This cozy bungalow is perfect for a couple for a nice fall/summer/and winter getaway! Thank you so much for everything June we can’t wait to come back and stay again!!

June's lake side cottage was cozy and charming. It was just large enough to feel comfortable for two people and also small enough to encourage great conversation and friendship all weekend. The lake was gorgeous (we stayed in mid/late fall) and we had a lovely time poking around Old Lyme and East Lyme. Thanks again, June!

June’s bungalow is so charming and cozy. In a fantastic location close to great towns with things to do and restaurants. You can also spend the day out on the pond with boats. We brought our corgi who had a fantastic time. June was extremely easy to communicate with and ask for suggestions. 100% will be back very soon.

Amazing place

The room was very nice and clean, I really liked how the host respected my privacy and did not hover. I would’ve loved to meet the host but it was also okay. All around good experience

The space is bright, clean, cozy and inviting. I’m very picky with the bed quality, and this bed was quite comfortable! The couch was lounge-worthy, and the carpet is spotless. Luckily we were used to waking up early, so we didn’t mind the noise of a toddler running around. In all the place is worth the stay

Olga’s place was absolutely amazing! It’s so clean, and she makes everything comfortable. She has been so accommodating with my ever changing/crazy work schedule, she really goes above and beyond!

Great stay with an awesome hostess, Thanks Olga!

olga’s place is always clean, comfortable and exceptionally homey!

olga’s place is always clean, comfortable and convenient! always staying here while traveling through the area :)

Olga’s place was very clean and beautiful. We felt welcomed and right at home.

Andrea's place is really charming and with many personal touches. It's the perfect getaway located in a quiet small town that has managed to preserve it's identity over the years. The CT river is only 2 min walk from the front door with lots of places to explore nearby.

Beautiful Town location and eating venues. Gracious host

The cottage is a cozy riverside getaway, with a location handy to local towns and great restaurants.

This was such a cute place! The quiet seclusion was just what I needed for this trip. The bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy. The bathroom was a little small, I found myself ducking out of fear, I'm 5'9, but it was fine. I liked the antique feel to the kitchen utensils.

Quaint cottage right across the street from a beautiful river. I saw an amazing sunrise and a beautiful full moon over the water. I appreciated the fresh eggs! Spent some time at the Nest coffee shop which was cozy and tasty. A good place to stay for some quiet introspection.

What a beautiful location! Looking out the kitchen sink window you have a view of the river. Cottage is located on a quiet street. Close to Deep River’s downtown. We enjoyed our stay.

I love this cottage, and the area around it. If you’re wanting a space that’s relaxing and yet close to things to do, stay here! Andrea took care of making my stay as easy as walking into my own home. And enjoy the local restaurants, too, especially The Nest coffee house!

A cozy cottage steps away from the owners home with landscape tranquility in raised beds, stone walkways, patio area, and views of the river. This quiet location in historic Deep River was refreshing and restorative with basics needed to enjoy our stay.

Great place- very unique and in an underrated location in CT!

Eccentric and unique and large space! Lots of room for everyone. Around every corner there’s another space to check out with artwork galore. Location is perfect with restaurants, bars, and bakeries within walking distance along with beaches and CT River a short drive away. Highly recommend Pam’s Airbnb.

Amazing space... so comfortable and eclectic! Love the open space.

The space is one of a kind. If you're looking for a unique place to spend your time, Pam's Airbnb is the one for you. Location was perfect, close to Essex, Old Saybrook, and Clinton. Thoughtful amenities like slippers, dog biscuits (dog friendly), and coffee maker with coffee were great touches. Thank you, Pam!

Really unique space with a lot of nice touches like board games, slippers, heaters, Bluetooth speakers, etc.

Spent the weekend and it was such a cool space! Pam left us coffee, creamer and cookies as well as english muffins and jam in the fridge. The floors are cement so Pam has a basket of slippers on the heater for cold toes! Super comfy bed and lovely shower as well. Lots of fluffy towels, extra blankets and everything you need. The locations is really close to downtown Essex and all the sights and close to markets/grocery as well. Thanks for sharing your space with us, Pam! We had a lovely visit.

This place was fantastic. It looks great in the pictures but was was way better in person. My family and I loved it and can't wait to go back!

Staying here is amazing, beautiful house

Beautiful and clean property! Wonderful amenities! Had a wonderful stay.

I would highly recommend Mary’s guest house!! As a host, Mary went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. She provided wine, cheese/crackers, fresh fruit and juice, coffee, pastries, beverages, and the list goes on! The pullout sofa was surprisingly so comfy with a memory foam top, plush pillows and AC. Everything was also super clean. The location was great being located in Old Lyme with a cute country store down the road with homemade foods and anything else you would want. I would definitely stay again! The pool was still open which made for an even more relaxing stay. The backyard where the guesthouse is located is beautiful and zen. We will be back!!

Mary was a wonderful host! She had home made cookies waiting for us upon our arrival and the guest house was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

A truly Five Star experience.

We arrived at Mary's place driving through this beautiful landscape, pulled up the driveway into this charming house. The pool house is in the back through this exquisite garden that's very well kept. The pool looks magnificent and speckless. We were greeted by the host who was friendly and happy to have us there. The pool house itself is marvelous. It has all the amenities needed. A mini fridge, table chairs, big closet, bathroom with shower, queen bed and glass sliding door over looking the pool. Everything was very clean and tastefully decorated. There was special attention to detail and everything was very thoughtful. We absolutely loved our experience in this place!! The host very kindly left us a bottle of wine, cheese and other snacks. The note left by her was a nice touch. Our night's sleep was incredible, the bed was extremely comfortable and cozy. In the morning, the Host was thoughtful to leave us breakfast outside our door. Mary went over and beyond her duties as a host to make sure we had the best stay possible! We highly recommend this place! Five stars!

Mary's pool house was way more than we could have ever expected. There was a cabana next store too to sit and relax. My husband and I were in town for the weekend on business and took our bikes with us and explored breathtaking local roads, went to the Side Door Jazz Cafe, The Bee and Thistle and had an afternoon relaxing by the pool. We will certainly be back! All of the amenities and extra special touches were above and beyond. Just what we needed to enjoy the last weekend of August and summer. Thank you Mary.

We loved our stay in Old Lyme, home of bayside views and historic fossil grounds! Mary’s beautiful backyard garden and pool made for a setting unlike any other in this world. Essentially, I was transported to the beautiful summer I spent in Le Grau-du-Roi in 2016. I recommend the sunset views at Liv’s oyster bar. Mary had left us snacks, beverages, and morning breakfast! I really couldn’t envision a happier paradise.

This place is the best.....immaculate with awesome view of Conn River.... we’ll stay there again!!!!!!

Really nice space! Will return to Andrea's whenever we are back in the area!

Andrea’s apartment is incredibly spacious, very well appointed and in a lovely quiet spot with beautiful views overlooking the Connecticut River. We enjoyed three nights here and it provided a great base to explore in all directions. Communication with the host was excellent and we would definitely recommend this space to others.

Beautiful location, right by the water. Andrea left us a pot of coffee, which was a nice touch. Good communication and flexibility

The place was cozy and perfect. And that view was amazing! The entire property was very beautiful and I would to love stay again.

The place was everything Andrea said it would be and more. The location is spot on for a great little get away at any season. You're not far away from town yet Andrea's place is off the beaten path. It reminded me of a little get away to the New England country side. The old steam train and the local ferry dock area right outside your front door added a picturesque charm to Andrea's place. My 11 year old daughter and I plan to visit again in the near future. Andrea is an amazingly accommodating host. She went out of her way to make our stay the absolute best getaway ever. We recommend you check out the little gem in CT if you can. It'll be worth it and then some.

Great place. Staying there during the holidays is fantastic because you're right next to a stop for Santa's village / Polar express from the Essex stream train. Nice private apartment and easy check in and out.

Andrea was a great host - was very communicative and flexible with our last-minute booking. Would love to come back!

Andrea was an incredible host! My family and I came to CT last minute for a death in our family and we were in search of a quick rental that was close to family. She got back to us right away, let us rent for the same day, was so so accommodating, and let us check in early. I can’t thank her for her hospitality enough, especially during a very tough time for my family. The place had everything we needed and more and was just the coziest house. Can’t recommend staying here enough! The location is amazing & the host is a gem.

Wonderful quaint bungalow providing quiet serene space near Deep River Connecticut. Sparkling clean, warm and close to amenities. Andrea could not be kinder or more accommodating. Highly recommend!! Wonderful spot and value for your getaway!

Andrea was a great host. We appreciated being able to stay in the cozy little house. Loved walking down to the river landing which was decorated with Christmas lights, etc. Thank you.

Andrea's place is "as advertised" The quiet location so close to the Connecticut river is fantastic. The house is well-furnished and the kitchen is supplied with everything we needed for our two week stay. Andrea was respective of our privacy while also being very responsive to our needs. Unsolicited, she arranged for our walkway and driveway to be shoveled and scraped following an ice storm, which was greatly appreciated! We will definitely check on the availability of Andrea's place when planning future visits to the area.

I loved being in this pretty little home! The Sun room was an extra plus! The house had everything I needed, with a two minute walk to the CT River.

This place is just as described! Great if you have a wedding at the lace factory!

A cozy and wonderful spot to stay!

Such a great location- right next door to The Lace Factory. My older family members stayed here when my husband and I got married there, so they could come and go throughout the reception. Andrea was more than accommodating!

Very clean, cute little space. Yona responds fast and is very accommodating.

Great accommodations!

Great location, beautiful space and quick response! Overall it was a great experience in such a beautiful historic district! Also, great that the building has an assigned parking spot!

Beautiful place. Truly historical and colorfully adorable.

Great location! Had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to come back to Yona’s place in the near future.

cozy, quaint, and stylish❤️really enjoyed the stay

The place was easy to get to, clean, and perfect for our overnight stay. There were some guests in the adjacent Airbnbs, so we heard some conversation and footsteps... but nothing problematic. Would recommend!

Very nice and clean. Love the style, unique!

It’s a very cozy place, just right for our stay

All the basics for a comfortable stay. Nice location and great response time. Will definitely stay again.

Cute place, a little outside the town of Essex itself. The host was responsive and we had a good time

Perfect location at a reasonable rate for a girls weekend of outlet shopping and great dinners out. Super clean, we had a comfortable nights sleep. Would definitely rent again!

Awesome stay...great place, great location, very clean and quiet. I couldnt have asked for a better stay along with a fantastic rate!

Stephen’s place was very clean and easy to get too. Private setting. Will definitely go back. Thank you.

Excellent location… Close to Essex…

Great location incredibly clean very minimalist And nice to have a washer and a dryer. Comfortable and CLEAN!

This airbnb is the perfect spot for getting a small group together for a getaway. You can expect a cozy stay, and its nice and quiet / private too.

What a great way to renovate a carriage house! It both looks and feels great! We loved talking to the ponies. We loved all the sightseeing and restaurant suggestions. We loved all of the little personal touches such as the great bag of coffee beans! We will be coming back for sure Thank you!

Amazing views and the sweetest ponies!! Check in was so easy and the place was huge especially for the price. I felt so safe too. Location is definitely higher end and kid friendly. Carol was so kind too and was there for anything. Will 100 % be returning in the future!!

We stayed at Carol’s carriage home for our friend’s wedding nearby. There were six of us (three couples) and each of us enjoyed our stay very much. The place is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The coffee Carol provided and the coffee maker there were amazing. I would highly recommend this place for anyone.

The pictures made Carol's place look amazing so our expectations were high, but I'm delighted to report that reality exceeded our expectations. The property is spacious, private, and well kept. The carriage house has been tastefully and intelligently renovated with quality materials, no cob job to throw something on Airbnb. The place is absolutely immaculate and has all the comforts (and necessities) of home including a laundry room! The bedroom suite downstairs with the dual bunks is huge and just plain fun. It's great for adults but if you're traveling with kids they'll think you booked the place just for them! The upstairs bedroom is also spacious and quite comfy. We had the whole family there (6 adults, 2 children, 1 infant) so 2 of us also slept on the incredibly comfortable sofas. We prepared all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen, the dining room table is large, and the living room is huge too. There are 3 AC units but our weekend was pleasant enough to just open the numerous windows and use the AC minimally. There's a little back deck, a nice back yard for the kids to run in, and the horses not only like to be fed but are quite friendly and love to be visited. The crowning touch is Carol. She is not only responsive but warm. Not putting-on-the-hostess-persona warm, but genuinely friendly. Clearly she enjoys this and the people that visit her property. I truly feel that I not only have a place for my family to stay when we visit the area now, but that I have a friend Lyme. If you're looking for an amazing place to stay in this area, I have no hesitation recommending that you look no further.

This is a great, serene spot! Very clean and comfortable. Carol’s coffee is also outstanding. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved Carol’s carriage house! Clean, inviting and wonderful! We would stay every time if we could!

Beautiful carriage house easliy fit our group of 7

Candice and Adam are great hosts. The antique house is beautiful. We had a great time watching the eagles on the Connecticut river.

Great hosts and a lovely historic home

Excellent gem--somewhat spooky at night though!

Candice and Adam are probably my favorite ever hosts. They were so kind and friendly from start to finish of our stay and were super cool. They renovated this property on their own and should win an award for all of the little and big touches that they have put in. It’s gorgeous. So unique and fun to stay in such a historic home. They were beyond welcoming and the room was beautiful. Very comfortable and decorated with such finesse. Essex is also such a lovely little town...we loved it. Candice has her own shop including organic natural products...one of which we purchased and it did exactly what she said it would. They also recommended a restaurant that we loved in Chester. I’m so glad we stayed. I’d recommend staying year round. An experience we won’t soon forget. Thank you so much, Adam and Candice. Hope to come back soon!

Candice and Adam’s place is charming and excellently located for downtown Essex. I’d absolutely recommend staying with them.

This is what an Airbnb experience should always be -- quick responses, a warm welcome, a stylish stay, perfect little touches. Candice & Adam were flexible with my ever-changing arrival time, there were just-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies in their gorgeous kitchen as I walked in, and the room was just as advertised -- beautifully appointed, really stylish and spacious bedroom with organic linens on a really comfy bed, and the beautiful bathroom had all the perfect little touches... antique fennel toothpaste anyone?! They gave me some great recommendations as to where to have dinner and then where to explore the next day, and upon departure, I stopped in to their little shop where again, everything was adorable and hip and chic. Thank you, Candice & Adam, and adorable Cash too (!) and I wish you all the best with your new house! **P.S. Candice used to own a bakery and her cookies were the BEST I ever had!!

This is a charming location, the hosts are incredibly friendly, the rooms are clean, and comfortable. This historic venue is worth staying at!

It's going to smell so good every time you walk into a room! The mattress quality far exceeded any airbnb I've stayed in before which was an unexpected delight. Everyone is right in their raves about the treats. If Candice is around, expect to be spoiled!

Great place as always, cannot go wrong here

Great as always.

Great as always.

This no frills apartment was clean, dog-friendly and good value, perfect for my overnight stop on my roadtrip.

Great as always.

It was the same as the pictures, and the host replied very quickly!

Amos was friendly and definitely quick to reply...he had a very nice apartment for me to stay at when I was in CT visiting family and had work appointments

Great stay as always

Adam's house is absolutely amazing. This was our second time staying with him and it was just as wonderful as before. His house is beautfully decorated and sparkling clean. I would so recommend staying there!

Adams place was the perfect place for our family over the holiday. The layout worked for large gatherings in the kitchen with an open floor plan. Master on the first floor and a huge deck. Supplies were ample and communication was great. The location was super convenient to the highway and also grocery and other stores. Would highly recommend!

The space was great! Adam was a very good host and willing to help with anything we needed assistance with. There was many options of local food and attractions in a booklet provided for guests. Definitely would stay again!

Great layout, great communication. Thank you, Adam!

Adam is very nice and easy to work with - his place is very clean, well-stocked and accurately depicted. Was very happy with our stay!

Everything was amazing! The house was clean and spacious, the host was super responsive and helpful, would 10/10 recommend!

Clean, easy, and exactly like the pictures. Adam is a great guy. Look forward to the next time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Adam’s place was inviting, clean, and enjoyable. I appreciated his clear communication, and generosity for letting us check in early! We would definitely stay again if travels bring us back to CT 😊

Great place and amazing hospitality for $30 per night! I would definitely stay here again.

Great deal! Plenty of space in an excellent neighborhood.

very clean and quiet. loved having the kerig

A good house and a good hostess.very comfortable !

John wasn't there when I got there., but his sons helped me with my luggage and other stuff I brought. They showed me the house and the room. Very kind. Even gave me some recommendations for the area. the house is amazing. It has everything you need and the room is just enough for a short term stay. John was very responsive for any concerns I had. Amazing service from his part!!

John and his family are the most genuine and wonderful group I have perhaps ever met. His daughter Alicia was at the house a few nights a week as she prepares to get married. Another "tenant" I suppose would be the word, AnnMarie, is conversational, endearing, and friendly. The home is beautiful and has everything one would need to feel comfortable for a short stay in a small town or an extended time for nearby work experiences. Would definitely recommend and hope that you have the chance to meet these great people.

Great communication, nice place and location, good host. I would recommend.

John and his wife were very welcoming and friendly.

We had a great stay! The apartment was clean and decorated beautifully. Shannan even left us with fresh muffins and food for breakfast in the fridge/ in the breakfast nook. We 100% want to come back in the future!

Shannan was extremely kind and accommodating.

Shannan's place was wonderful! It was clean, comfortable and spacious. This is the entire top floor of an older home and it has a lot of character! Highly recommend.

Shannan's place was awesome. We only stayed one night but what a great find. Our daughter and I were traveling to tour Connecticut College (10 mins away). Lovely hospitality and tons of nice touches! Book with confidence!

Very clean, baby friendly, super spacious and lots of personal unexpected touches!

Loved staying at Shannan’s place. Great location, comfortable space, great special touches. This was our first time to New London. We loved The Recovery Room for food and enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Shannan’s apartment. Everything was clean and well put together, the bed was comfortable and warm, and the little extra touches (like fresh muffins and a well stocked breakfast nook) made our stay a delight. Highly recommend

Shannan’s place is such a gem! When we arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile and once we got inside the apartment, we found fresh baked lemon poppyseed muffins waiting for us! She had a very nice array of different breakfast items and extra cooking supplies as well. We didn’t even need to use half the things that we brought with us! Towels, toiletries, bedding, everything that we needed was available. I would love to be able to stay here again!

My New York and Boston family chose Christoph’s lovely home as a midway point for a winter birthday getaway. The house is as stunning, bright, and comfortable as it appears in the photos. It was perfect for our group. I read some reviews that stated the kitchen is well stocked but the kitchen far exceeded our expectations. Christoph was very responsive and the thoughtful touches throughout the home were impressive. The house was also super clean! We were sad to leave! Thanks again for everything, Christoph. One of the top Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. Five stars!

We had a great time at Christoph‘s place. The house is thoughtfully furnished and decorated. The kitchen has pretty much everything you can think of - we spent quite a lot of time cooking and enjoying the space. If you stay there in winter, just make sure you bring enough layers because the house gets really cold in certain areas with all the glass. Other than that, it‘s a great place to spend a relaxing weekend with friends.

This was a wonderful place for my family and I. We highly recommend it and the location was perfect.

The house is beautiful, super clean and comfortable, and conveniently located while still being private. Chris is extremely responsive and flexible with check-in and check-out times. Overall 10/10 experience.

This glass house is a peaceful getaway in a beautiful secluded setting, but closer to the highway, beach, and shopping than we expected. Chris was a great communicator before and during our stay, was non-intrusive yet available if we needed anything - as well as Laurence the sweet and kind property manager! Their home is comfortable, with an incredibly well supplied kitchen, windows everywhere, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. It made for the perfect setting for our group of 3 couples to ring in the New Year! We used the fireplace constantly for warmth and cozy atmosphere, with plenty of room in the newly renovated kitchen for group prep and cooking, places for us to eat, relax, play games and hang out in comfort. Everything is just as pictured. Chris is so attentive and personable - too bad he couldn't arrange for snowfall to complete the perfect January escape ;-). We will definitely be returning!

Beutiful home!

Lovely welcoming host.

We had a great weekend at Christoph’s house! It’s in a beautiful setting and the host was super hospitable. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable and the showers were great. You can tell that Christoph takes great care of his home and we felt comfortable the entire time.

Cathy and Billy are lovely hosts! Would definitely stay with them again.

A gem! So adorable and quaint! A must stay when in Old Saybrook.

I had a great experience. The room was cozy, clean and bed was really comfortable.it was in a great location. Lots to do in the area. Decorations in the home were lovely. Very peaceful visit.

Wonderful spot! Very clean and very comfortable. Cathy was very nice and even had snacks for the guests. Would definitely recommend!

Cathy and Bill and super nice folks...their house is lovely and sparkling clean. They are quiet, considerate and hospitable. I got great sleep which was much needed!!

My Mom and I really enjoyed Cathy's home. It was very quiet as described. It was also very comfortable and clean. The check-in process was super easy. Her and her husband are wonderful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate staying there again!

Our room was upstairs in a large house, we had our own bathroom with a fantastic shower and spotless throughout. Wifi was strong, bed was very comfortable. Cathy had water, OJ, and even some pastry for us if we wished. Come in through right front door and climb the stairs first room on the right. Would stay there again!

Cathy's place was exactly what we needed for our quick overnight trip. Very clean and comfortable accommodations, their cute dog Dobby was an added plus. Would definitely recommend!

Great Stay! Yona is quick to respond to inquiries. Great location ☺️

We had a lovely stay in this charming apartment in a fascinating old mansion. The apartment is super clean, has everything you would need for a stay, and is close to amenities.Check in was a breeze! The bedroom is very sunny in the morning, so if you like it dark make sure to pack an eye mask for sleeping! Very convenient to get to Mohegan Sun. We would definitely stay here again if we were coming to the area!

Such a find! Beautiful old apartments in a quiet part of town that's still close to everything!

Yona’s house was amazing! Easy smooth check-in and great location! The place was clean and fully stocked with amenities, making it a wonderful stay!

The apt far exceeded my expectations. I felt very comfortable and it was all super easy. Also Yona is very responsive. I definitely recommend a stay.

Great location and neat building

Listing was very spacious, large living room and bathroom. And an array of kitchen amenities to help prepare meals. Have a dedicated parking which was great. Great stay!

This is my second stay at this place! It was great, yet again. Yona left me with some cookies and a holiday card which felt like a really lovely touch. Loved it! Highly recommend.

I slept like a baby. Comphy bed, good air quality, clean bathroom. Bonus: lots of snacks. Thank you Virginia!

Great room! I plan on staying here I multiple times within the next couple months. Virginia is very accommodating.

Great room in a quiet neighborhood. Host is so friendly and accommodating!

Very comfortable home in quiet neighborhood in Middletown. Quite convenient for those needing to be at Wesleyan, Middlesex Hospital, or anything else in town.

Great place, great host!

Virginia’s place was great and comfortable. I stayed overnight for a meeting at Wesleyan and it was the perfect set-up

Excellent in all aspects. Kind host and outstanding stay. I especially enjoyed the rocking chair.

Virginia was a wonderful host, her place had everything we needed for our one night stay. Clean, comfortable, and accommodating. We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay! Great location! Our room was nice, sparkling clean & the strong water pressure in the shower was very a pleasant surprise. We especially enjoyed the whimsical, eclectic grounds.

A great little spot in an amazing location. Very convenient for walking anywhere in New London for food and drinks.

Clean and great size space. Has everything one would need. Easy check-in instructions. Great place for a work trip. I highly recommend for a couple or solo traveler!

Thanks for the great stay, yona!

Host is a very fast responder(texting), check in and out instructions were very clear, and cleanliness was great.

The apartment was cute and quaint and just what we needed for a quick overnight away. It was easy to get into and we didn't have to worry about showing up late and needing help getting in

What a beautiful historic little studio with a very comfy bed! It was so clean and in a great location. We stayed for 4 days and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend it :)

Beautiful home, awesome way to live with the locals. The Airbnb use to be an mansion, great experience overall!

Donna's place is clean, convenient, and comfortable. She is an excellent host who truly cared about my well-being. The apartment has everything needed in the kitchen, it's well-heated, and it is situated across from a wine/spirits shop as well as a great cafe and hardware store with lots of necessities. I will recommend this airbnb to friends and family visiting the area!

We enjoyed our stay! Donna was a great host and was always reachable! There were quite a few special touches that we really like. We would definitely stay there again.

I tell you, it's not everyday you find people that are so thoughtful and genuinely nice like Donna. She went above and beyond to accommodate hubby and I & our 1 yr. old daughter. Donna is so sweet and even hit it right on the nose by getting our daughter's favorite snack! The fridge was stocked with some Gatorade, water, and juice and we even had snacks too! It was very much appreciated especially since we arrived pretty late at night. She was so nice to even let us stay a bit later after our check out time! Communication was superb, the place was nice and clean, even the coffee place across the street was amazing! Everyone was just so nice and it really felt like home. Thank you Donna! We will definitely see eachother again in the near future. A++ host. 😊

the space was great, had everything we could have needed. Donna did a great job of communicating and adapting to our needs. Really great home.

This place is a true gem. Absolutely loved it. She’s very thoughtful and it’s everything you can imagine.

This place was perfect! I was attending a wedding down the street and this was all I needed. There is a small kitchenette which is the perfect size. The bed was very comfortable and with the propane heaters I was very warm and cozy. Donna? Let me tell you about the angel that is Donna. She went above and beyond. She is SO KIND and attentive. The fridge was stocked with water bottles and Gatorade AND THERE WERE SNACKS!!! There were small toiletries available to me in the bathroom as well should I need them. I mistakenly waited to order an Uber for the wedding and they were not going to come to the house UNTIL AFTER THE CEREMONY. Panicking, I called Donna and asked her if she would mind giving me a ride to the venue (as I didn't know if I could leave my car overnight) and without any hesitation she said yes. Donna is truly one in a million and I will never ever forget her kindness. If you are looking for a short, wonderful stay Donna's place will be perfect for you. THANK YOU DONNA!!!

All was perfect

Great location to stay in the area. Donna was so nice! The place is cute and charming with all the basics. Very clean! Very quiet! Great value!

We didn't need much, we were looking for a nice quiet place to stay for the night after a day in the Old Saybrook area. This place is very close to the local places we were visiting so that was convenient. This place is quiet and private. The instructions on how to find everything were clear. The room and the shared bathroom were very clean. My only regret was not being able to stay a couple of more days to take in the full experience of the area. I'd highly recommend this place for a person or couple looking for a nice, quiet and comfortable space to relax and chill out.

Fantastic place to stay, beautiful and clean, easy access, everything you need

Jules and Linds were fantastic hosts. The place was extremely clean and cozy, easy check in and check out, and a great value. Their place was very close to many of the neighboring towns and they provided great local places to check out. I would highly recommend staying here!

Great place to stay! Very peaceful place in the woods. Spotless with regard to cleanliness. Communication was excellent before, during, and after my stay. Comfortable bed and pillows all the items I needed. Would easily stay again if I visit the area.

Bed was rly soft

Very clear and easy check-in process and clean room- thank you for hosting us Jules and Linds!

All's good as described.

A neat and tidy home. Great location near the shore to enjoy the shore. Great communication from host. I shall hope to return and get some R & R and adventuring!

Amazing home and hospitality. Very nice people.

Candice's baking skills are amazing. Adam gave us great local recommendations. They are both very attentive hosts, and ensure that all guests have a comfortable stay.

A calm and elegant space without being fussy. You sense the presence of an artist with a delightful eye for quality and functional design. The yard and patio in summer I am sure will be a refuge with its floating white curtains and view of the gardens.

Great room. So inviting and comfortable. We had a wonderful night’s sleep.

Expect delightful hosts and space. This old house is a welcoming place, and we were quite comfortable. The bed is fabulous. The decor is interesting; we enjoyed looking at all the small touches. Candice & Adam are superb hosts. We would definitely stay again!

During a road trip in the charming Connecticut here is a charming spot do not hesitate. Take rather the king size room to have this great bed very comfortable..l welcome adam is very nice ... the house pretty like everything ... a lot of charm ..

Candice & Adam's place is beautiful! A really thoughtful updating of a historic home. We had everything we needed in our room and bathroom. Plenty of blankets, a space heater, bathroom amenities and more. Our room faced the street but we barely heard any traffic. We were in a great location for exploring Essex. The shared bathroom wasn't an issue and we were able to juggle it with the other guests. The home was clean, calm, and smelled great! Candice & Adam were very kind hosts and were communicative about check-in and provided local recommendations. Thanks for our stay!

Thank you for making my first private room experience better than I expected! I loved the unexpected charm and little touches, as well as your welcoming personalities!

It was perfect for a quick stay.

This is a separate little apartment next to Bill's house. It is very private & clean, in a safe area. We drove to Mystic seaport twice from here & enjoyed the privacy when we returned. There is a refrigerator & microwave, plenty of dishes & glasses. There were yummy chocolate bars for us when we arrived. Perfect for the two of us.

The place is even more welcoming and charming than it looks in the pics! Very clean and comfortable.. everything you could need and more. Excellent communication, easy check in and sooo quiet 😊 We hope to come back soon

Bill and Lynn were absolutely lovely and their place was beautiful and so clean. it was so much more than what we expected! definitely going to book with them again, and would recommend to anyone!

What a lovely experience! The room was very clean and just right for what I was looking for. A perfect distance from animatic and Mystic. Will definitely stay here again!

This place is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Clean, stylish, and comfortable. Communication was easy with the host. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place in the area.

Bill's place was the perfect lil getaway. The beach is only half block away and its close to Niantic where we spent our day. Wonderful hosts with lots of recommendations and tips. The space was absolutely perfect <3

Perfect gem for a little retreat. The place was spotless, private and very cozy. The beach is just a minute’s walk away, and Lynn and Bill were wonderful hosts. They gave us suggestions for places to see and eat and had all the basics for coffee and tea as well as a little treat for us. We can’t wait to go back for another visit.

It’s a beautiful, clean and cheery space. Close to the beach . Loved the prompt and friendly service from the hosts. I will definitely book again in the future ❤️

I almost hesitate in offering this review -- as I would rather Claudia's Unique, Fun Cottage be kept secret! Yet good, transcendent human achievements do not remain secret. Claudia's Cottage is the alchemy of Perfect spatial design, decoration, and fundamental amenities; every little and big thing have been considered, thought through, and tuned for guests' comfort and pleasure. Sunrise over the Connecticut River through the virtually floor-to-celing glass east wall is magnificent. The cottage is equipped with The Best of everything you might need for for any tenable wish or whim. The location is private, yet convenient to the delightful Chester Village a mellow mile or two south. The architecture -- it is not so small a structure as the photos might suggest -- lives up to a genius vision of setting, scale, and proportion. There is motion-sensitive lighting to illuminate your way returning after dark, parking with extravagant turnaround space, and responsive mechanicals (central heating, well-pressured hot and cold running water, inspired lighting, abundant electrical outlets). I (we — Katharine and I) have returned time after time to find subtle improvements to the overall space, yet the essential romantic charm prevails. Stay for the peace and tranquility, and for the diverse recreational and arts opportunities nearby. Leave with a refreshed spirit. Claudia's visionary Unique Fun Guest Cottage is a priceless experience. Bring your best and highest hopes and dreams.

Claudia‘s cottage on the river was amazing! The house was well stocked with any basics that you would need. It was a nice surprise to find videos, board games and books, along with lots of pamphlets of places to eat or things to do in the area. This is a place I would definitely return again in the future. I’m already thinking of returning to do a kayaking trip, with so many waterways available in the area. So overall, I would highly recommend staying at Claudia‘s cottage!!!

Amazing spot. Beautiful views of the river and off the beaten path. Host respected our privacy to the fullest which was much appreciated. Extremely safe and comfortable atmosphere.

Beautiful cottage in a fun small town atmosphere!!

Great little oasis, with fantastic views of the river. Great little town just minuted ego. Goegeous hiking around a lake just 10 minutes away. Will stay again! Thank you so much!

Claudia’s place is right on the water with a great view. We enjoyed the wildlife, nearby Devil’s Hopyard and Gillette Castle, as well as the cozy and stylish space, with Netflix and high speed WiFi access, which we appreciated for evenings in. Was also great to be able to bring our dog, she loved the space. We would recommend.

Great little place, very cozy

Claudias space is incredible. It is sparkling clean and such a cute setup. The town is also extremely cute! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

This treehouse Retreat went above and beyond our expectations it's literally everything you need for peace and serenity. It's extremely quiet there and it's extremely clean. The hosts are amazing and very very friendly and want you to have the best experience and peace but are available if you need them.. The History behind the place is great Nancy has actually done all of the decor and the trails and everything all by herself she is so talented. The trails are great and Nancy made walking sticks for the guests and a trail map is provided. There's also fishing. The bed and the pillows are extremely comfortable and the tree house is well-insulated so it's warm but they do have an electric fireplace and ceiling fan. There is a barbecue for your use and also a fire pit and five tiki torches, a table and chairs near your fire pit but there's also a table and chairs on the deck and also a Hammock and all cooking supplies available. I can't say enough.. We also got a sneak peek at the newest edition being made by the water. So far it's gorgeous and we have already booked another trip to come back in April..

Nancy & Bert are wonderful hosts! Their treehouse was far beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived on their property we felt welcomed and at peace. The trails on their land are some of the best trails I’ve ever hiked. We felt like we were in narnia whole exploring the forest. I will absolutely be back to stay again!

Lovely hosts, wonderful communication (lots of texts) The treehouse is beautiful and private even in the winter with no leaves on the trees. It was nice and warm too. Nancy is very talented and the handmade decor details are amazing.

The property is absolutely incredible for many different reasons. The fact that the brook and the trails are footsteps away while also maintaining unmatched privacy is truly spectacular. We stayed in the tree house and loved our stay, we will definitely try to come back to relive the relaxation and comfort that we experience staying here. Bert and Nancy were wonderful with communication and with any questions that we had, as well as making sure we had everything we needed. Which we did thanks to them.

The tree house is an absolute treasure in Connecticut. Nancy and Bert made this place home and it shows in every single detail. The tree house itself was beautiful and well designed and well kept. And the trails......are equally as beautiful. No description will give this place the credit it truly deserves. You have to see it with your own two eyes and experience it as a whole. We'll be back in the Summer.

If u want to find a quiet getaway with wonderful hosts....kind hosts who go over and beyond for their guests then PLEASE book one of the retreat getaways with Nancy and Bert. I can not say enough about how wonderful they both are and how much they do for those who choose to stay with them. Wonderful time and memories made. Book with Nancy and Bert and u won’t be disappointed

Perfect place to enjoy a weekend for two. The hosts are excellent people, thank you for their hospitality! Extremely clean room, wonderful trail, and surreal energy!

Very beautiful, relaxing retreat on a beautiful property!

Nina is very nice and extremely accommodating. My first night I got there very late and she was on top of making sure I got in ok and everything. I will be staying again.

This space is very nice and Nina is easy to work with.

Nina was an excellent host with a very nice space. The playpark is close and the beach is very beautiful. The community is friendly and her home is spacious enough and brite. I will be lucky to stay there again soon.

This is a nice space and the beaches and bay nearby, which are a short 15-minute walk, are absolutely beautiful.

Great value, clean & spacious. There is a nice-sized living room area and full kitchen set up like a studio apartment. Plenty of space to sit. Nice little corner dining table setup. Good wifi & TV. Kitchen has full-sized fridge and plenty of cabinets & countertops. Restroom was clean. Bedroom is small but big enough for the purpose (getting a good sleep). Bed was very comfortable. The room has it's own AC which could be set to whatever temp was desired. The area is super quiet. Driveway parking gets the car well off the road. Nina was quickly responsive to any communications and has this AirBnB process down. Comparable area hotels would have cost $80-$200 more for the same stay. I hope to stay there again the next time I'm visiting the area.

Nina was very timely with responses to my messages. The area was peaceful. Her place was very clean and well-kept. I look forward to staying at Nina's place again!

quiet, close to park and town; comfortable single bed and other pleasant guests

Couldn't have asked for anything better

Great communication! Great Hosts! Thank you, Thank you!

Jan’s home is wonderful and cozy! I stayed here with two of my friends and we absolutely loved it. The home sits in the woods and we had a really peaceful evening. Jan made us a delicious breakfast in the morning and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you!

Very nice place and nice family! You absolutely have to accept the breakfast in the wintergarden, to enjoy the view and to meet Jan and his family!

Jan's communications were prompt, the location convenient, the wifi speedy, and her quiche and muffins delicious! Thank you Jan.

Jan's guest room is large and comfortable. It is attached to the main house with a separate private access. Jan gave us good travel tips for the area and her breakfast was wonderful!

Jan and her husband are gracious hosts. They provided gourmet breakfasts on consecutive mornings. What a treat to take breakfast in their upstairs solarium. Liked the setting as well. They made my stay very cozy.

Had a great stay in a very nice room, highly recommended!

An amazing experience for me and my kids! So welcoming and hospitable, gave my little ones some snacks from the garden and breakfast made for us in the morning really made us feel simultaneously at home and on vacation. We really enjoyed breakfast while watching the birds at the feeders from the sunroom! Close enough to anything you may need and to a few really nice beaches. I can’t recommend this place more highly!
