Best weekend ever
The house is beautiful! Clean and organized. We had everything we needed and the view is incredible. We enjoyed the deck very much. So relaxing. My daughter (the bride) and her friends enjoyed getting ready there in the morning. I can’t say enough good things about this house.

Pre-wedding family gathering
Really appreciated this house with expansive wall of windows facing the Branford river when we stayed with our family before our son’s wedding! A December wedding but the weather cooperated and we were able to take advantage of the beautiful water vista. Dave was very responsive and flexible. Plenty of space for the groomsmen to get ready all together…what fun!

This was the most amazing home to stay at. Meticulously maintained by the owner/host. It is clear that this is a special family retreat. There is nothing to want from this place. A wonderful spa retreat with a hot tube to watch amazing sunrises and sunsets. An elegant main bathroom with large soaking tube overlooking the water. A Steam shower worthy of the best destination spas. Kiel bath products. Fully stocked cooking and grilling needs. On top of that a fitness center with rack and treadmill overlocking the water.

A great week enjoying gorgeous views of the Branford River from the house, deck and water. Great beds for sleeping. Well furnished kitchen. Really nice neighborhood for walking and biking. We are all missing those views of boats, birds and tides already.
