Great spot for a weekend trip

Guest house is comfortable and set-up well. We stayed here for family weekend at UConn. It was a great home base for us. We loved the driving the local roads back and forth. We did not use the kitchen but appreciated the extra space and to relax during a busy weekend.

Great Little Get Away

I only gave a four for cleaness because we were the first ones to use the place and there were a few places where there was a little dust from the construction. The location is nice, it was close to what we were doing but out of the way so that it was quiet. Owner was very nice, check-in and out was easy and no contact.

Great Little Get Away

We were the first people to stay in the place. It was a nice little place, in a quiet rural area. It was close to what we were doing but he was nice to come back to a quiet place. The no contact check-in and check-out worked really well. We did not get to use the pool area, but it looked really nice. The owner was nice and communication was easy.
