The little boat house is lovely! Tiny but very close to the main house and all the things you need. We had a lovely time and already want to come back!

This is such a special location. Very relaxing. The houseboat is a cute little hideaway. Take some time to hike around the area. It’s lovely.

The houseboat was a great stay! It's not actually floating on the water, but sits its pontoons on the edge of the pond. It has a wonderful patio and the inside is cozy and protected from the elements, while you still experience the peaceful nature outside. The houseboat is very close to the stone barn which has easy access to the kitchen, wifi, bathrooms, and showers which was a big plus. There are benches and chairs around are wonderful to relax in (and play with the cats that wander around). The extended property is beautiful! We walked along the river and hiked up to the summit and fairy gazebo which has excellent views! Definitely recommend. James was an excellent host! He was friendly and helpful, and he definitely made sure our stay was pleasant.

My husband and I had our honeymoon at the farm and had a blast!! We enjoyed conversations with the rotating cast of characters who live and visit the farm, walks along the serene Moss Mountain, and watching wildlife. The houseboat was extremely charming and cozy. The bathroom and kitchen are separate from the houseboat, but less than a minute walk. Bill and James were very friendly, interesting, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We’re already planning our next stay at Sticks and Stones Farm.

What a beautiful space to collect your thoughts! Sticks and stones was the perfect relaxation my mother and I needed from our daily lives. Sitting in the screen porch listening to frogs every night with candlelight was so relaxing. It's the perfect spot if you enjoy quiet or need some inspiration for art. The best and most unusual part was waking up with llamas walking past your window hahaha. If able, I do recommend the hike to the top to see moss mountain and the fairy lookout. Very beautiful and quite magical with the unique structures on the hike. The owners respected our private time but were also very accommodating when we had any questions. Lovely staff and lovely place.

This is a truly unique and amazing place, and the staff is so well suited to enhancing the peaceful, fun-loving vibe. I stayed on the houseboat (which is not actually floating, just close enough to marshes to hear the frogs jumping in the water along with the peaceful sound of a small and gentle waterfall), and Ii you're not sure how you feel about the rustic cabins and their location further up the mountain, I highly recommend staying on the boat for a few days to check things out. Boat is located conveniently to parking and the stone barn, which is the hub of the entire place. Convenience (nearby bathroom with shower, large commercial kitchen, wifi) AND amazing solitude (after 3 pm! summer camp takes place on the property til then, but I found the sounds from the campers to be joyful and energizing!) The bed on the houseboat is comfy, and while I was travelling solo, I felt completely safe and secure on this magical property.

Great "camping" for cityfolk/beginners! Since I'm not experienced in the outdoors, I liked having a roof over my head and access to a kitchen/bathroom/etc. Nice to have lots of friendly people nearby too, just in case. The riverboat house is peaceful and rustic - enjoy the relaxing view of the pond and waterfall.

You need a break, you need to relax, you need some fresh air, I’ll recommend you this place. This place is just incredible, the cabin is soooo beautiful, those people are so nice, everything was perfect. I want to go back as soon as I can

A lovely space. Quiet and spacious. Would def recommend / come back.

We had a great staycation. Highly recommend!

JoJo and Phil’s place was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. They have an incredible space with the most interesting decorations. It was also conveniently located where driving to anything you needed was easy. We’ll definitely be staying here again!

Place was amazing! Great space for my husband and myself to get away to. Lots of space for us to work, relax and enjoy the country with out going so far from home.

JoJo and Phil gave excellent hospitality in a space highly designed for creative work.

JoJo and Phil's place is amazing. I went there and really allowed myself to absorb the idyllic serene and interesting space. The art supplies, yoga studio with mats and drums and bells... lovely. I love to be ensconced in a bed with a heavy cotton comforter and was not disappointed here. The soap stone sink was rustic and clear and clean. Working at the art drafting table, felt really grounding. I loved it all! JoJo showed me around with no fuss, and then left me to my own retreat. So lovely!! I look forward to my next visit to Newtown.

Great spot to be creative!

Their space is beautiful and very peaceful.

Great private space, very clean and cozy

The space was clean and as described, hosts were quick to respond with a small question about the temperature.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a peaceful and quiet location.

I barely got to see it in the daylight or with the lights on, but it had everything we needed. It was nice and clean, and had a nice porch out back I wish we'd had time to enjoy. I would stay here again.

Great location for visiting family in the Danbury and Fairfield areas.

Great location. Great experience couldn’t be happier

Comfortably private and clean interior, peaceful exterior environment including wildlife sightings, heated bathroom floor.

A very comfortable and peaceful place to stay.

We absolutely loved it here

Our plans changed and we didn’t get to stay here, but looks like a nice place.

Our stay and experience at Sticks and Stones exceeded all expectations! The hosts were so incredibly kind and informative. Our cabin was immaculate, private, beautiful, and relaxing. The amenities available (kitchen, cooking utensils, food, etc.) made the stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. The property itself is gorgeous. There are tons of hiking trails, a labyrinth and a swimming hole. Everything is gorgeous and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a weekend away or a romantic getaway this place is perfect! I HIGHLY recommend!

What a gem!

Couldn’t recommend booking a stay more. Even during a rain-filled weekend it was perfect.

Can’t say how lovely Sticks and Stones is. The setting is so beautiful and words don’t do justice. This really is the best kept secret! Lovely hosts, incredibly relaxing atmosphere, etc. Truly cannot wait to come back again.

Pictures don't do this boat house justice. This is not just a place to stay, its an overall experience. One that you wouldn't get any where else.

Only place I will ever camp again! Amazing atmosphere!!!

I stayed near the Stone Barn, which has a wonderful communal feel about it. There are many more areas to explore!

I was on a bike journey from Ottawa to Florida when I stayed here. It was way more than I expected for sure! I’m so happy I got to stay here while exploring Connecticut! Being here made my bike trip so much more amazing, the nature at sticks and stones farm is exactly what everyone wants to find! And the people working there are amazing! The bed was so comfortable! I’ll definitely be back with my friends and family for a longer stay!

Great place for someone that wants to step away from reality into nature. the waterfall pond outside is very relaxing to fall asleep to. You can hear all the animals, and during the week they have llamas hiking through the woods with a third party company. I was able to bring my ESA dog which was great. Amazing trails on site for families and beginners, with a moss garden and a large organic garden for a local pantry. There are lots of hidden spots to sit and relax throughout the property. I spent 3 days here and did not have to leave, food can be delivered. The kitchen in the beautiful stone barn is fully equipped and very large since it is used to feed camps. The shower is very clean since it is shared with someone that lives on property year-round. Keep in mind, the listing is a shed turned into tiny home, it has a fan and light but the bed can only fit someone 5'5 and under, most likely not two people comfortably.

Awesome little cabin in front of a beautiful pond situated near the stone barn. Would definitely recommend and return. Had a great time and the cabin was very clean

The little house is so cozy. An amazing experience for a solo traveller. If you're worried about feeling spooked the wi-fi is a great backup help.

This is an amazing space for a personal or group retreat with various cabins to unplug and recharge. The grounds are beautiful with hiking trails, gardens, a labyrinth, moss walk, and a yoga/ meditation studio available in the main barn area. The community style kitchen was clean and well organized with space in the fridge for guests to store and prep their food. This was a bright and friendly space, and am thankful to have the opportunity to have shared this space.

Rustic peace and tranquility. Slept to the sound of the waterfall and crickets, watched over by the Buddha, stretched out in the yoga class.

The little cabin was just what I needed and sticks and stones farm was the perfect magical place to re-connect with myself. Sam was an amazing host and if you are lucky enough to meet here, you will certainly understand. Everything was just perfect...for me :)

Fantastic house great open first floor very Warm and homely

Such a cute place! It was extra cold this past weekend and Caroline and Will left us extra space heaters and blankets-thoughtful touch! Great location outside of town to get away, but not too far where it’s a hassle to get there. Definitely recommended to stay here!

A wonderful piece of serenity not too far off the beaten path. A stylish comfortable home away from home

Outstanding hospitality in a great location. We'll be back!

We have stayed here many times and always enjoy it. Charlie is a great host and the apartment is beautiful in any season.

This is a lovely upstairs apartment with a beautiful yard. The hosts are welcoming and helpful if needed. We wish we could have stayed longer to see the falls colors on the many beautiful trees. This is a very pretty area of Connecticut!

THis house was truly more than I expected, Charlie and Cathy were the most welcoming hosts. The house was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable - especially the bed! They were so kind, they left a welcoming pastry for me in the refridge - plus everything else you would need to cook with and coffee/tea for breakfast! I will definitely reserve this home again!

Charlie and Cathy really go above and beyond with their great hospitality and details throughout their place. They are inviting and helpful with recommendations for places to eat or visit. They include small touches that make you feel at home there. Absolutely a wonderful stay!

Wonderful, clean pace to stay--their house is so unique and charming. Charlie and Cathy are incredibly friendly! I was preparing my friends cupcakes for their wedding and they didn't mind that I was doing that at all! Would love to stay here again!

Charlie made us feel totally welcome. The apartment was spacious and had all the amenities one might need. It was thoughtfully decorated and very homey. It was conveniently located to the center of town with restaurants nearby and even a yoga studio!

Charlie and Cathy were amazing hosts and made the trip to my hometown feel that much more welcoming and warm! My boyfriend and I will definitely stay again in our future visits!

Gloria's studio is beautiful, bright, and airy. The perfect place and a great value for escaping the city and relaxing in nature. Many nice touches around the studio to make us feel welcome and great tips for the area. Thank you, Gloria!

Gloria's place is absolutely spotless and has the perfect touches. It was a pleasure to spend it at her getaway! This cabin is so cozy and comfortable

If you are looking for a place to relax, look no farther. You will be at peace in this beautiful, clean, space with extremely thoughtful touches!

Fantastic setting on a beautiful lot surrounded by woods. Beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches and amenities. Close to Brookfield center, the borough of Newtown, and Danbury. Easy check in, plenty of privacy. We would gladly stay there again.

This studio is such a gift to anybody who discovers it. The little touches and attention to detail truly make this place a wonderful and comfortable place to stay. It was very clean, with plenty of extra toiletries in case you forgot something. The guidebook they provide is very detailed and can lead you to many local attractions. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, we absolutely loved our stay, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing retreat! Thank you Gloria and Gary! 😊

The house was lovely and in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay!

Place was exactly as advertised. Beautiful and very clean. Very well priced and the hosts were quick to respond. Self checkin was easy and I was able to have a late checkout as well. Highly recommend!

Gloria and Gary were fantastic hosts! They are very friendly and walked us through the space when we arrived and came to say goodbye when we left. There was a binder and guest book full of reviews that were very informative about the area. Even in winter, there was lots to do. One downside, maybe, is that the activities were not walkable. You need a car to get around.

Highly recommend Sticks and Stones! This is my second time staying there off season and I (and my guests) were treated with the utmost care and attention. Bill was very communicative for several weeks prior, explaining the pros/cons of different cabins; we actually switched to the Tulip cabin given that it was insulated and therefore warmer during the colder months, per Bill's suggestion. It was the right move! We loved the Tulip cabin. It was cozy and perfectly warm. We were given plenty of wood to keep the fire going and James was great all weekend long. He heated the communal kitchen for us, which we used the heck out of for our Thanksgiving meal. We strolled/hiked about the property for two days, completely enjoying the retreat. Every person at Sticks and Stones is friendly, attentive, and super chill. I love this place and can't wait to come back!

Sticks and Stones Farm's Place, were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for a getaway from it all break, it is fabulous.

If you’re looking to get off the grid for some peace and quiet in a laid back, rustic environment, Sticks and Stones Farm is the spot. We loved our weekend stay in the Grand Cabin. We enjoyed hiking the trails, the outdoor shower, walking the labyrinth, visiting with other guests and residents. What a relaxing and magical place! We look forward to visiting again.

A great getaway forest farm for a weekend or maybe even longer. Not having electricity requires some preparation on guests' part but o so refreshing. Plenty of walking area and a nice sense of seclusion. We had a great relaxing weekend with friends.

The host was very friendly and considerate. He was very responsive to our camping needs. The location of this camp site was better than I expected. It has a wonderful driving distance to other attractions like National State parks, the zoo, beaches, fabulous restaurants and cafes. The cabin is so heavenly especially in the mornings! Classic camping! This cabin is highly recommended for those who love the challenges of camping.

The cabin is beautifully built and decorated and the rest of the property, the other structures, landscape and stonework, is like a cross between a nature retreat and a sculpture park. We really enjoyed hiking around and discovering all the interesting features. Even though it’s close to many things it feels remote. The cabin had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We’re planning on returning in the Fall.

Great stay! Quick to reply & quick to rescue (our windows were screwed in, we couldn't open them for air - they took care of it immediately). No lights or electricity! If you cannot spend a night without lights or electricity, don't go. Great experience - like they said, it's a simple living.

Sticks and Stones Farm is a special place. I've not seen anything as unique as their setup. We were provided with care and great hospitality. It is rustic and simple, but can be considered elevated glamping! We looove it here! The cabin is SO so beautiful. Bring plenty of your own lights as it gets very dark! We were wonderfully prepared, having visited this place before. 1st time at this cabin but 2nd time at Sticks and Stones Farm, and we are looking forward to hopefully a third visit! The lands are gorgeous and spacious The bed was impressively comfortable and we were even provided towels and fresh water. The kitchen came with a can opener and pan, and a surprisingly useful water pitcher, though other cooking tools may be a bit limited so remember to bring your own! I had never used a composting toilet before but my goodness, it's absolutely fine, not smelly, and very much like a regular bathroom. Miles above an outhouse for sure.

Booked before and same results this go round. Excellence!!! If you enjoy your space but convenient to relax this is the place to be.

This Airbnb hit the mark in every area. It has privacy, clean, beautiful location and has extra thing you may need to ensure you are comfortable. I would definitely book this place again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Connecticut.

It’s a beautiful property in the back to enjoy in good weather. The apartment was great, clean, and cozy with all basic amenities. The walkway is made of gravel which is super cute for as an entryway.

Brendans house is lovely with beautiful surroundings. Great location in one of the most beautiful parts of Connecticut. Very clean and comfortable stay.

Brendan's place is a beautiful oasis. Clean, relaxing, extra touches, awesome bed, are just a few of the delights you will experience. I will certainly book again when I return to CT.

Brendan’s place is quiet lovely. It is everything in the photos combined with a peaceful atmosphere that is quintessential New England. The setting is nestled in a knoll with trees, a bubbling stream and small foot bridge. I couldn’t stopping taking photos of the picturesque setting. Brendan is an excellent host anticipating his guest needs and providing comfortable accommodations. Look no further.

Brendan’s home is fantastic! The unit is clean and comfortable. The property really beautiful (especially in the fall) - lots of areas to relax and meditate, as well as a beautiful secluded trail to explore. Brendan was communicative and helpful. Highly recommended

The place was very clean and cute. There was plenty of privacy but Brendan was available to answer any questions we had.

I’ve been to Sticks and Stones the past three years now, and it’s always a lovely place to get away to! My friends always fall in love with the ambiance of the cabin and the grounds. It’s a perfect spot to regroup, hangout, and draw from nature. The only thing that changed from previous years was our hosts, but Bill and James were very responsive and accommodating! They ensured we had everything we needed for our stay, greeted us upon our arrival, and made themselves highly accessible. Thanks you guys for another great stay, and look forward to seeing you all again in the future!

The cabin was amazing!!!! if you wanna get away and spend a real time with your friends/family this is a good option. you would get unplugged of tech, you wont really feel you need your phone there. we were worry about there were not power or running water in the cabin but that was the best part, taking a outdoor shower and using candles to light up the room. absolutely loved it, we definitely come back

3rd year in a row. Guys trip with 8 people had plenty of room. Everyone had a good experience

Quite the getaway and very private. It really does feel like you're an hour away from anything. I have a correction to some earlier posts: the walking distance to the bathroom is in fact 30 seconds.

90 minutes from NYC (depending on the traffic). If you like privacy and silence. This is perfect location. Serene and nature therapy. The host was prompt and extremely helpful with our requests and help.

Very Great to unwind and unplug reconnect to the Nature and the whole place is yours nobody to Bother you it exceeds our expectations worth it we will come back again definitely We love the Cabin with plenty of space and beds nature at its finest Shower is a bit of a hike 10min but i like the concept Restroomis just about 2min Highly recommended 🤘

We were back again for a second year and had just as amazing of a time as last year, if not better! Sam is always such a welcoming host, accommodating to meet up with us and guide us up to our cabin when we arrived nearing dark. She checked in over the weekend as well to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable with the facilities! Other than that the setting just never gets old, the cabins as cozy and well-equipped as could be- the perfect weekend getaway for relaxation and recharging in nature

A truly lovely setting, feels like you're away from it all, but it's a very quick drive to town and not far from NYC either. The cabin was beyond lovely and we'll be back soon!

A lovely house in a beautiful area! Perfectly clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would love to return in the warmer weather for the pool. A great weekend getaway with friendly helpful hosts.

Our stay was wonderful! Location was great, the barn was awesome. Highly highly recommend!

Wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

This place is so worth the price.

Sally’s family was very welcoming and responsive during our stay at the cottage. We had four adults and 2 toddlers who enjoyed the beautiful house backyard and scenic autumn views.

You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. I can't stop giving this place praise. It was fantastic and the location was great for local favorites.

What a way to experience Connecticut! This place is absolutely amazing and the scenery around is awesome. Bethel is a nice town and there is a cool apple orchard nearby. We definitely recommend!

An absolutely perfect stay from start to finish! Fast communication, smooth check in, a BEAUTIFUL space in a stunning location, and a great base to explore the area. We would highly recommend staying at Sally's place - and would love to return someday!!

We loved staying at Sticks And Stones. Such a wonderful place to be off-the-grid in the midst of the beautiful scenery. Perfect spot for a retreat for small or large groups. There's so much magic there and Bill was a warm and accommodating host. During our stay, we explored the property and its sci-fi-meets-eco structures, cooked great meals in the superb kitchen, did some meditation, and walked the labyrinth. At night we heard owls while looking at the nightsky through the cabin skylights. The farm is connected with a great community of wilderness enthusiasts and spiritual groups. Great energy there. Highly recommended.

Amazing place, breathtaking property, extremely hospital host and portapotty was always clean. Definitely would and will stay here again!!

I had a delightful solo stay in the Pagoda cabin. Sticks and Stones is a great place to unplug and unwind from the stresses of city living. Lots of quiet, trails, birds (birders bring your binocs!), and places to discover. Sam was responsive and helpful, and the other guests were great to mingle with if I wanted to. I guess you could access electricity and plug in electronics in the Old Stone Barn but why on earth would you want to? Pro tip: If you're a light sleeper and there's rain in the forecast, maybe bring earplugs because the sound of rain and wind here is the real deal!

It was an excellent experience. I recommend it!

Thank you for being such a great host! We LOVED our stay, the cabins were wonderful and the grounds awesome to explore and you were fantastic to chat with. The Rustic Kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we've ever come across, tons of pots and pans in good condition, a working grill that we got to cook all our meals on, and even some tea, coffee, and salt, pepper and oil too! As ppl who frequently love to cool it was refreshing to not have to worry about hauling over little things like this. The cabin was clean and comfortable, gorgeous views around it and fun hikes!

Perfect easy last-minute getaway from NYC! I went with a group of 20-something year old girls for a birthday (4 of us in total). We stayed at the Pagoda cabin, and couldn't have imagined anything better! The grounds are beautiful: trails around the woods, well-equipped communal rustic kitchen, cute cats, adorable barn with yoga mats, fresh vegetable garden, heated showers surrounded by nature... really amazing. The host, Sam, was SO kind and helpful. The Pagoda cabin has a fire pit right next to it (which I fully plan on using next time I book a short vacation there). We brought a couple of head lamps and a small lantern which were very handy, but everything was so well taken care of and easy that we didn't really have to worry about bringing much of anything else - we were given towels and lots of comfy blankets, offered a delicious breakfast ($10 suggested donation), the communal kitchen has pots and pans, gas stove, dishes, utensils, etc. Super easy - super lovely - beautiful & romantic - highly recommend it!

Our only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough! This place is absolutely magical. Every aspect of our visit was just perfect. We loved staying in the Pagoda but all of the cabins we saw looked just as amazing. The rustic kitchen was well stocked, the outdoor shower was heaven, the grounds were gorgeous, and the energy all around was so calming and peaceful. Sam is an incredible host, making us feel so welcome and cared for the second we arrived. So grateful for a place like this to exist just hours from New York City. Cant wait to return! Thanks Sticks and Stones for a wonderful 5 days. Stay Gold, Lauren and Lorin

A wonderful location, spotless accomodation for such a rustic setting, easy check in and warm hosts.

My stay at Donna’s place was great. Donna is a wonderful person, the space is exactly as advertised, the location is highly convenient to both Danbury and Bethel, and Luna the dog is friendly and chill. My highest recommendation. Thanks Donna!

I had a great time staying at Donnas place. There were no problems during the month I stayed here. Donna was very kind and the Dog is just lovely.

Donna is the best host! Highly recommend.

Very happy to stay here! Donna is very friendly and thoughtful. I would love to stay here again.

Location is the perfect distance from downtown, host is very friendly and willing to help out with anything. The amenities are nice and the doggo is super sweet

Outstanding host. She along with her family were very friendly and hospitable towards my girlfriend and I. I would 100% rebook for any future trips.

Loved it! Great stay, Great host!

Elsa offers a clean, comfortable room with nice touches like a coffee maker and bottle of wine. The bathroom is equipped with lots of toiletries and other basics. I'm one to always forget things like toothpaste so I appreciate these extra touches. A pleasant stay for a reasonable price.

Great and stylish space. I appreciate all the little extra amenities like bottled water, clean towels and Netflix. It was a great stay.

Elsa was an amazing and accomodating host. Her family welcomed me when I was there, and the space was very clean and comfortable. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Elsa's place was a cozy, clean place to stay with great amenities. Great host. I would definitely stay here again.

Elsa’s place was very nice and clean. Elsa communicated very well and responded to my inquiries quickly. She was also kind and allowed me to check in earlier than scheduled. I highly recommend her place.

This was my first Airbnb stay, and I was very pleased. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the bottled water and coffeemaker was a nice added touch. I'll be sure to book again when I'm back in the area :)

The perfect escape from the city! Sticks and Stones was responsive, hospitable, and beyond beautiful. My husband and I stayed in the Summit structure for 2 nights on a particularly chilly weekend and the staff was quick to provide extra sleeping bags and comforters. The staff drove us up to the top, quickly showed us around, pointed out the amazing rustic kitchen and helped with our bags. They were wonderful during our trip! They even drove back up to help with our bags during check out because there was a rain storm. The view was incredible. My favorite moment was waking up to the rain and the beautiful overlook. My husband and I walked about the grounds and were in awe of the different structures that were built. We are planning on returning, this time with a group of friends! If you'd like to participate in the llama tours, be sure to plan ahead. They were fully booked day of! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you sticks and stones!

Great place to get away and enjoy nature

This is such a magical getaway. The perfect writer's retreat.

This place is fantastic! The view from the Summit hut at sunset is absolutely stunning. We also really enjoyed the outdoor showers and it was great to have our own fire pit for making s'mores. : ) - I wish we would have known ahead of time about the llama walk, but next time!

We had a fantastic weekend getaway in the Summit Cabin! Sleeping in the cabin with screens for walls was so peaceful and the view is incredible! Definitely worth a weekend escape. Definitely bring your own food to cook but if you need, pizza is a 10 minute Uber ride away!

Sticks and Stones is everything they say it is. It is so unique and peaceful. My cabin, The Summit was cozy, with great views. I highly recommend the outdoor shower! Sam, the owner was so friendly and accommodating. She took me and another guest to a lake to kayak. I came by myself (a female) and felt safe, and loved the whole atmosphere. I would highly recommend it!

Amazing get away if you enjoy camping and hiking - awesome grounds and exploration. Tranquil and peaceful! Looking forward to many more visits!

Words can barely describe the treasured experience I had with my stay at Stick & Stones. I took this trip on my own, in my 7th month of pregnancy, to take the time to connect with myself, my growing baby and nature. Wow. I am still walking on air this week, from the deep respite and heart connection that I had while there. The land is simply gorgeous and every little detail is ‘just so’. And when the lady of the land, Sam, tells you to be sure and get barefoot and walk on the moss... do it! It’s like nothing else. In 2-3 days, I only got to do about half the things I wanted to while there. So much to explore and see. Cooking in the rustic kitchen is lovely. Yoga is the stone barn is lovely. And even off and on downpour of rain, is a truly magical way to experience the mountaintop. And nothing got wet! Just a dream. I’ll be coming back again and again!

Norm was a delightful host. Our "Galentines" Day celebration could not have been more relaxing. We lounged by the fire, had a nice meal in town, and enjoyed the scenery. The area is lovely. The house was clean and spacious. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of seats for movie viewing and book reading.

We had a great experience and Norm and Joanne were great hosts. The house was super clean and offered all the personal touches of being at home. My kids didn’t want to leave!

The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for what we was looking for. Norm and Joanne were great hosts and made us feel so comfortable and at home!! I would stay again any day!!

Wow! Best Airbnb ever!!! Warm hospitality, great communication, fully stocked kitchen (including coffee, fresh fruit and treats galore), clean and comfortable home. Highly recommend! Beautiful hiking nearby. Quiet, beautiful neighborhood just a few minutes drive to small town Sandy Hook. Couldn’t be more pleased!

Very happy with our stay. House was very homelike. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Great hosts, quiet setting. Well decorated, spotless interior. Nice sitting area on the deck. Enjoyed the birdsong!

We picked some yummy veggies from the garden for dinner- which my kids thought was the coolest!! This was our second time to stay at N & Js and we once again had a great experience! They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have fun things to do! We had some rainy days- and Norm was quick to suggest some activities for our kids. Looking forward to our next stay!

Norm, and Joanne were wonderful and so hospitable! They place was fantastic! We enjoyed the quiet, quaint location. My favorite was taking their paddle board out on the river in the early morning! Thanks again guys!!!

This place was very nice, clean and quiet. She even left water and a bottle of wine for us! We recommend this BnB if you are in the area!

Once again extremely clean place...Exceptionally hospitable host, & a delicious green tea personally brewed for me!

Elsa's home was a perfect overnight for me and my family as we traveled up to our final destination in Vermont. Thank you, Elsa, for your sweet hospitality!

Great stay! The host was extremely hospitable.

Very nice, clean and quiet place, just as described. Totally recommended!

Great Stay

Good

Immaculately clean place...Extremely hospitable host & a great value.

Hidden gem, clean quiet location, quick responses from our host. The home has everything you need and the glassed in room is especially lovely. Actual home more impressive than the photos. You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely lovely!! You have to experience it for yourself.

Lovely house on a back road away from the highway. Clean, bright, and well-appointed. Hosts were appropriately communicative.

House is exactly as it is shown, super clean. Area is quiet, setting is peaceful. Had a wonderful stay. Will come here again.

We loved this house. Wonderful location, very quiet, has everything you would need. Highly recommend !

Lovely place to stay the setting and accommodates were wonderful.

Spacious and lovely place. Very quiet and accommodating.

It was one of those rare AirBNB experiences where the house was significantly better than expected. It was very clean, and the upstairs living space is light and lovely and very comfortable, and the grounds are spacious and private. The beds are good and the amenities all thoughtful. We will be back!

What a magical place! The view was absolutely breathtaking! Perfect little hideaway ❤

My boyfriend and I booked last minute for a long weekend. Responses to booking/any questions was almost immediate, which in our case was super helpful. We LOVED the house, the property, the view, and the area. We will definitely recommend this rental to friends and return ourselves. Oh! And we had 3 bald eagle sightings.

Beautiful, peaceful view. The hosts added a few unexpected and very nice extras. I had a very relaxing stay at Narnia. thank you

Brian and Maureen are amazing hosts! They were attentive and responded quickly to any questions I had. The views are unmatched - truly unforgettable! The place was clean and everything was just perfect. Definitely will be booking with them again soon.

It was a great stay the people were very nice.

Excellent hosts and incredible place. Absolutely gorgeous views! Waking up to the view of the lake is something like no other! Brian & Maureen were very attentive and very responsive. The home was extremely welcoming and our stay was wonderful. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful apartment with a beautiful view! I would definitely come back here. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the lack of hot water for the shower. It was basically just warm. Everything else was great! Including the hosts!

Beautiful Views of Lake Zoar..so amazing to sleep under the stars. Fireplace was relaxing and cozy. Perfect Romantic getaway.

Excellent place. Small and cozy in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend

This place is great! Clean, relaxing, and lots of great hiking trails nearby as well as local markets. William is thoughtful and was willing to answer any questions I had. If I'm ever in Redding this is were I'll stay! Thanks!

Best place in the area will continue to return!

Had an amazing stay at this lovely property. Everything was exactly as described and then some. The thoughtful touches and William's awesome hospitality made us feel right at home. Hope to visit again soon and recommend this home to friends and family looking for a tranquil getaway.

This spot is in my top four Airbnbs! The daybed was *so* luxurious and the French press is such a nice touch. I saw deer in the backyard in the morning and watched the squirrels play. I hope to return!

Best stay in the area. It’s always very clean and well kept. It’s beautiful location makes It the perfect place for a weekend getaway. William is an excellent host.

Our stay at William’s place was spectacular. It feels very private and above all, cozy. Perfect for a getaway! There were a ton of personal touches that brought the stay to the next level, from a guidebook of the area, to all the food/drink products being local. Also who doesn’t love a French press :) Would highly recommend to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

William was a great host. The studio was sparkling clean, tidy, and stylish with lots of great nearby hikes. Highly recommend!

This is our third stay and we look forward to returning. Norm and Joanne are terrific hosts. This always exceeds our expectation. Extremely comfortable and stylish accomodation. Norm responds very quickly to needs and makes sure the stay runs smoothly. The location is perfect for us and central to visit New England spots.

Such a peaceful and nice space for our family to get away to for a few days! We loved our stay.

We stayed at Norm and Joanne’s cottage over Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful and restful cottage. Very clean, with excellent beds, warm fire, great designer touches and lovely surroundings. I can’t wait to come back in the summer for fun river activities, just a short walk across the yard from the back door!

This was our second stay at the cabin and all our expectations were met plus more. Norm and Joanne are professionals and extend a really welcome hand to make sure the stay is the best experience. The house is stylish and cozy and has everything you need to be completely at home. I both recommend this highly and look forward to future returns.

My boyfriend and I decided to make a very last minute trip for a holiday weekend, and messaged Norm just a few hours to see if we could stay at his place. He responded quickly, and accommodated us right away. We arrived to a sparkling clean, quiet, beautiful home. Norm was very responsive during our entire stay, and answered any and all questions that we had. He gave us local recommendations, and even made calls for us to make sure that we could do the activities that we were looking to do. He was a fabulous host, and the house was so perfect if you're looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway. We literally couldn't have planned a better trip. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Very private, very beautiful and spacious with wonderful hosts.

Warm and welcoming house. Loved sitting on the porch and inside by the fireplace!

Norm's place is amazing, very clean and stylist. It has everything we need to make it as our home. We were greeted by Norm when we checked in. The process was very pleasant. Norm is very helpful and responsive. Location is very good too. Very nice and quiet neighborhood and easy to get access to high way. Highly recommend and love to stay again.

Very good place

This was a beautiful little cabin. We loved of how cozy it was! You were close to restaurants but feels like you are secluded since you’re on a quiet street. Highly recommend!

We had a very nice stay. Everything you need is there in a very nice spot on the river. Great view, polite neighbors, nice little getaway.

Kara's placed was cozy, clean, and nice. We spent some of the morning sitting by the river, which was really wonderful. The place has everything you need, and Kara was quick and easy to contact.

Great place to get away and great food at the local restaurants around town and so close to them as well!

We can't wait to do again. Everything we needed was very close yet it seemed we were isolated. The house was clean and cozy, couldn't have asked for more!

What a perfect relaxing trip! The backyard with the fire pit and river was perfect, great way to spend the mornings with a coffee or the evenings with a fire and some s’mores. If I ever find myself back in Connecticut, this is where I’ll stay!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kara’s place. The photos online do not do it justice at all! We had everything we needed for a really fun birthday girls weekend. Check in was seamless and the location is truly fantastic. We enjoyed sitting by the fire at night and listening to the water flow by. We also took advantage of the nearby trails and enjoyed a lovely hike. We really hope to visit again soon! We highly recommend Kara’s place.

Beautiful, chic place. All my friends loved it!

A gorgeous house inside and out. Really comfy beds. A roaring fire. And a well-stocked kitchen. Really, what more could you ask for? BTW, work off some of the food you cook with either a work-out in the attached gym or a short hike nearby at Putnam Park (and learn some Revolutionary War history while you’re there)!

Lovely, tastefully renovated and designed home. Wonderful experience from start to finish. Excellent host.

Very relaxing!

Five stars! Lovely private house in a quiet country setting; highly recommended.

We stayed in Kelly’s place while visiting family at Meadow Ridge over Thanksgiving. It’s a beautiful place and pretty close to MR. The little town of Bethel is nearby and very sweet.

My husband and I stayed here for a little 2 night staycation and it was everything we hoped it would be! The house and property were absolutely beautiful and Kelly was the ultimate host. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope I get the chance to go back again soon.

Such an amazing home. So chic and cozy.

We loved our stay! The Laurel cabin makes you feel like you’re in a fairy tale and the rustic kitchen is very well equipped. You’ll want to eat delicious food, so make sure you pack well - we had pasta, eggs, fruit, desserts, snacks and hot cocoa by the fire. The outside shower is amazing too! October can be cold but the hot water is a treat. Oh, and watch out for beautiful birds and deer 💚. If you’re into drawing, board games, books, movies or music, you could bring some to enjoy, and do bring an extra light. The hosts are great too! From the minute I booked we were in touch and they answered all my questions. They were also very thoughtful giving us extra blankets for the night and the check-in/check-out flexibility we needed to lose track of time and relax. This place is a gem!

Sticks and Stones was the exact escape from NYC. The staff was very helpful and welcome, the grounds were extremely well kept and the cabin exceptionally clean for being a partly outdoor space. I will definitely be back.

Every time I stay at Sticks & Stones I come back feeling revitalized and at peace. Thank you for creating such a beautiful, calming space! (Visiting in the fall is the best– I highly recommend!!) I only marked the experience as being "less than expected" because I had expectations from previous visits for some "extra special details" (yoga..breakfast..) but really it was a great experience (as always) I'll be happy to return & I'll continue to tell all my friends about this great place!

We had no idea what to expect, and it turned out so much fun! James and his wife checked us in and we’re so helpful throughout the entire trip. James told us everything we needed to know/ brought us fire wood when we forgot to ask for some down at the barn. The property manager went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The staff here were so incredibly great at their jobs and they made the stay that much better. 5 star on staff!!!!!! For future stayers - this is camping! Like, I don’t know what I expected but this is legit camping basically outside but in an adorable stick home. This cabin is right next to the kitchen/fire pit/grill which was so convenient. Like not even a minute walk away. Here are some items to bring that add on to the comments below I found were a necessity: Coffee!!! There’s a French press !! Sugar Febreeze for the out house.. this was ROUGH lol! Long pants and sweatshirts Camping chairs Toilet paper Paper towels Zip lock bags Lots and lots of lights (we brought more led twinkle lights) Fully charged laptop / dvds if you’re staying for more than one night. It was fun to watch Superbad in an awesome stick hut with lots of twinkle lights! Food!! Bring a large cooler with ice, be prepared. I wish we brought more up to begin with so we didn’t have to head down the mountain on day 2. Lots of lots of ice in your cooler. The kitchen really is amazing you can basically make anything right there. Don’t be scared to stock up on breakfast lunch and dinner. We will be back! So romantic and so fun. We ventured out to a winery and a brewery that weren’t far away just to take a look around ct. thanks guys for an amazing weekend!

What an experience! We truly enjoyed our stay at Mt Laurel. We didn’t get the chance to use the outdoor showers but we will be sure to do so when we return!

This place is magical. My husband and I felt recharged after exploring the farm, meeting new friends at the fire pit, and having a beautiful night of sleep. Nature therapy at its finest.

Words cannot express the wonderful experience we had at Sticks and Stones. I spent my birthday here with my boyfriend and everything was more than we could have ever imagined. This is camping at it’s most thoughtful and peaceful level. Here are some helpful tips from our experience that will hopefully help you enjoy yours to the fullest: - Come with an open mind and heart and allow everything to just take you in. - Explore and hike and just let the place guide you. There are so many hidden gems and nooks and gifts within the property. - Bring lanterns and anything you may need to fill time. There is no electricity, so we definitely filled time just relaxing and talking and hiking. If you are used to having technology, maybe bring a laptop or iPad with a movie downloaded (something we wish we did, just to be a cherry on top to the the wonderful weekend, but totally not necessary.) - Hiking shoes and change of socks. Lots of warm clothes especially during the cooler days. The bed are spectacular and the blankets are super heavy and warm. - Sam is a wonderful being and host, she will help bring all of your belongings to your campsite at the beginning and end of your stay. If you forget anything, the stop and shop is just 5 mins away and the hike up and down the mountain on your own isn’t bad at all. - We didn’t try the breakfast on site (still looked delicious) but tried Kings Diner which was also just a a short drive away. The most amazing diner breakfast we have ever had! We will be back in a heartbeat! This would be an amazing place to go solo, with a friend, loved one, family or group of friends. Seriously, best Airbnb experience!! So much loveeeeeeeee. 100/100. Also, if you can catch the llama walk, you're in for a treat!

Amazing place I will come back here again!

This is a wonderful place if you like a quiet spot in the country. Very cozy, clean, and it has all of the amenities of a home (laundry, TV, shower, and a kitchen stocked with a few essentials so you don't have to go out to find something to eat when you arrive). I loved staying here and would do it again in a heartbeat if I am ever in the area. The owner is also very communicative. You can't go wrong with this property!!

We’ve stayed at Jacquelyn’s multiple times and each time it gets better and better, very stylish thoughtful touches great communication and always sparkling clean, would definitely come back again.

It’s a lovely place and quiet Definitely will have this place in mind again for our next trip

Jacquelyn's place was exactly how it's described in the Airbnb listing and other reviews. It's a very clean, comfortable, and thoughtful space. We wanted to find a peaceful place outside of the City to rest, and we found it. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. Lots of pretty hiking nearby. Would love to come back.

this is not the first time we've stayed at Jacquelyn's place and as always it was the perfect fit for a great weekend

Excellent accommodations and awesome hosts!

Jackie and Brett are fantastic hosts! Responsive, thoughtful and accommodating. The apartment was clean, organized, with lots of nice touches — candles, books, welcome guide with local restaurants and tips. The kitchen had everything you could need — pots, pans, spices, utensils. I was in town for a training and prepared every meal to take with me, so I put the kitchen to good use. It felt like a country getaway, but was a short (scenic) drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. I was not able to take advantage of the local hiking and dining, but I will definitely find an excuse to stay again!

Jackie & Brett’s place is the best! Super clean and safe neighborhood. Great location and two of the sweetest hosts you could possibly wish for! Would jump at the chance to stay here again!

Excellent stay. Such a beautiful, hospitable home in an amazing area. There cant be a better place in the area to stay.

Nancy is a very accommodating and friendly host. She let me use her kitchen for several hours one day which I greatly appreciated. I felt comfortable coming and going..

Nancy's place was safe, quiet, and super convenient. Definitely made my trip that much easier!

Top notch host! Everything was great - plus very flexible. Thanks!

Nancy’s place and Nancy are excellent!!! Thanks so much!

My stay here was great! Nancy is very nice and great with communicating. The home is very clean and makes you feel like you are at home. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here if you are in the area!

this was my this was my first experience staying at an Airbnb and I was extremely pleased. Nancy is a great hostess and I would definitely stay there again.

clean and comfortable!

This little room is truly a hidden gem. Set back in an area that’s both off the beaten path and easily accessible from main roads. Connecticut roads could leave one scratching their head if they weren’t holding on to the wheel with both hands, but Tracy’s directions were clear and precise. The home is a beautiful stone cottage and our private entrance was a set of red double doors festively decorated for the season. The room was charming with loads of natural light, views of the ridges that make this part of the world so unique and enough timber to hint of the rugged lives early settlers might have faced. The bed is full size, memory foam topped and very comfortable. The room feels recently remodeled with modern greys, nice trim and decoration. The bath is also newly remodeled with a lovely walk-in shower and new fixtures. There’s a modern fridge and microwave neatly tucked away and a closet with lots of hangers. The room is small but comfy enough that two us had good sleep and didn’t feel like we were in each other’s way. It is a room for sleeping, not lounging, though, so you’ll probably want to get out onto those windy, hilly roads once you’re rested and ready. TLDR; A great, tidy and compact room in a Connecticut cottage. You’ll enjoy your stay.

Sparkling clean. Comfortable bed & linen. Nice variety with coffee machine. Would stay again. A bit challenging to find in the dark, head over during daylight!

Highly recommended.

Tracy and Miriam are very gracious hosts. Staying in their home is a really nice experience. You will want to return.

Tracy’s place is clean and cozy. It was a good location to the hospital and a great value.

This is a really nice room, perfect for one person. Tracy is a great host.

This is a very nice room with a bath, clean, neat, nice location in Bethel Ct. Owners are also very nice to talk with.

Another great stay at this AirBnB!

Marybeth and Aster have an absolutely beautiful and serene apartment suite, one which I was very thankful to have while moving to a new state by myself. I felt right at home the first day, and Marybeth and Aster were wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend staying here!

MaryBeth and Aster’s place felt just like home ! So many nice, thoughtful touches, private and easy to access. I felt very relaxed and comfortable here and would definitely look for a reason to stay here again.

Marybeth and Aster are superhosts for a reason. We had a wonderful time in your home and it was a wonderful base for visiting family in Fairfield and New Fairfield! Thanks so much all the thoughtful touches. Our daughter loved all the snacks and the games. We could stay there forever without even visiting! Best wishes to you both.

A spacious and cozy suite—set in a gorgeous setting. Very relaxing, just perfect. Comfy bed, good water pressure, lovely views, and a gracious host. A perfect Airbnb experience.

They have really thought of everything you could ever need or want. It is obvious they want to please their guests. Beautiful and VERY spacious in a peaceful and lovely environment.

The place was absolutely amazing and set in such a beautiful spot! Marybeth was a wonderful host and so welcoming! I would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Comfortable and spacious suite, very bright and inviting. Plenty of convenient parking directly in front of the unit. This was our second time staying here and plan on returning next time we are in town.

Our summer begins in Marybeth's pool and ends in there. We have another wonderful weekend and needless to say how much we love the suite. It was magical looking up at the stars and listening to the sound of the night, a symphony of frogs, crickets and other creatures. Our older kids have been coming to the pool for fours and they learned how to swim here. Now we can't wait to see our younger one in the brand new pool next year.

Lovely place, very friendly and wonderfully hospitable. Invited us for lunch and made a tasty Turkish coffee for us. 110% recommended!

Wendi and John are spectacular hosts. The apartment is more than spacious and accounts for everything anyone may need. The location is quaint and close to many great restaurants and take out places. I’m so glad I choose to stay here!

Wendi and John are great hosts. Wendi was wonderful about making sure anything we needed was taking care of, yet also respected our privacy when needed. John even made sure that the drive way was free of snow even though I am a night owl. And the place its self is amazingly homey. Highly recommended.

Great hosts. Very roomy and beautiful apartment. Would stay again.

Clean, quiet, convenient and pleasantly much larger than expected. Thoughtful amenities

Wendi and John’s place was spacious, clean, and very well equipped. Wendi was a gracious hostess and very quick with responses. A great place to stay.

The set up is huge! Off the street parking, and super friendly folks.

The place is beautiful, large, clean and had all the supplies you could imagine. My parents stayed for over a month and they were more than happy with the place. The location is also great, close to shops and quiet private street. Wendi and her husband were amazing hosts, they were always available, quick to reply and very very kind. Our experience here was outstanding!

I really recommend Wendi & John's place to stay. Feels like you are in your own home! The place is very spacious and clean and comfortable. Great quiet place to stay that you can call your home away from home. Thank you Wendi & John.
