About this property
1ST FLR APT Your Private Resort, now FAMILY-ized: 1 BR + LR suitable for 2 kids
Bikes, Bocce court, fire pit/pool! Hike our woods to deer trail along the river! Over 80 eateries within 15 mins! Enjoy winery/craft beer/farm/market visits; easy to moderate hiking; world-class indoor ropes course; indoor sports/gaming center; trampoline park, much more. Near aquarium, kids' attractions, museums, concerts, nightlife, LIS boat tours. *We are still the ultimate couple's, private getaway, but we're making it easier to bring the little ones for a low-keyed, but fun-filled vacation. When you're not enjoying our outdoor amenities that include a play set, relax in your very own home theater with 66" HD Smart TV. Full kitchen has all major appliances and assorted small ones. It is fully supplied for preparing full-course meals. *Private entrance is off a ground floor mudroom accessed directly from outside. The bedroom features a very comfy queen bed and the living and dining areas can hold two twin air mattresses for the kids. Both the LR and BR can hold the full-sized crib. Please note that dining table only seats two, but TV tables and a high chair are available. Note that adding additional portable beds significantly reduces the floor space! Some families have opted for their kids to sleep on the couch and love seat in sleep sacks we provide. Also available: a portable crib, high chair, baby monitor, stroller, baby backpack and toys are available. *The front yard has a play set, bocce court, horseshoes, charcoal grill, and dining set. Guests may use these facilities without any notice to us. *Backyard has a three-level deck, swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrella table for four or more, hammock, gas grill, picnic table, outdoor living room, and a screen porch. We'd like to preserve your privacy so please let us know when you plan to use these amenities. * On the north side is a fire pit with seating, and a hammock further up in the woods. If you are uncertain how to light a successful fire, don't hesitate to ask. Written assistance is also located in the ammo box located in the wood bin. *We have our own private "daily" deck and a top-floor deck so you may never see us! All outdoor spaces are accessible to our guests, with the exception of the aforementioned private decks only accessible from our house.. *Prior notification is requested for use of the gas grill (and pool if you expect to spend a significant part of the day in and around it.) When in doubt -- ask! The facilities are only for our guests. Should you want to invite friends, relatives etc for a pool party, BBQ or anything else there is a fee of $15/ person payable to us directly. *Fee for an approved dog is $15 per dog per night. Please request a copy of and agree to the doggie rules; and tell us something about your pet. *Our neighbor's construction of the 6' chain-link fence has dramatically reduced any "foreign" animal visits (as have our dogs) we still have deer, a rafter of turkeys (including two huge toms in the spring), an abnormally large and jaunty red fox, a pack of coyotes, a rarely-seen bobcat, and birds of every feather, including woodpeckers, owls, and vultures. Oh, and squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits! So, please don't let your little dogs out unleashed very early in the morning or into the evening. *Bus, rail, Uber, Lyft and Enterprise Rental cars are all available, as are grocery, restaurant, and pharmacy delivery. *Check out our website www.ourcountryproperty.com for local activities and sample eateries. Please confirm hours and days of operation.

Lovely place to stay even off season without the benefit of the beautiful pool. Everything we needed was within close proximity ....all the restaurants and stores you can think of. Growing up we didn't even have a grocery store in town. Fun get away. Easy drive to Tweed airport. Host was easily available. I plan on returning:))
Beautiful place and attentive and friendly host. The mountains the pool the peacefulness were all incredible. The guides and info left were so thorough and thoughtful. Def an A+ place to visit for one or a family!
The hosts were great, very accommodating. The apartment had everything we needed and was very cozy. The pool and the view were amazing. We would definitely recommend.
Very cozy, spectacular views and very accomodating hosts. The kitchen is fully stocked for preparing meals at home and very near major grocery stores for food shopping
This was an amazing trip for me and my wife to enjoy a nice private get away. The property was very clean. The owner Gabe was very friendly and kind their dogs were a delight and very playful happy dogs. The experience overall was very nice for both of us.
My husband and I wanted a place that was comfortable and close to our son who lives in CT. The location was perfect and access to stores and restaurants was nearby. We felt ver much ch at home there. Would definitely stay again
The property is very well kept and clean. It is like being at a resort with access to pool and hot tub. Bed is very comfortable. Close to highways, stores, restaurants and outdoor activities. The hosts are very nice.
Nestled in the woods this is a quiet getaway. Very cozy bed and great linens. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Located close to many restaurants. Short drive to the river. Highly reccommend.
Our stay was great! They place was well suited for a family visit. We loved the pool and privacy. The hosts were away while we stayed, but they communicated with us ahead of time and we had everything we needed. There was a small/cosmetic maintenance issue that required repair during our stay, but the handyman was poilte and unintrusive. My kids loved the pool, and I couldn't imagine a better place for a family getaway in CT!
In a remote enough but close enough ti everything you need. Very clean home. Wonderful host and a bunch of nice addditions. Would love to return. Stood herefor the weekend and fell inlove with the property. 10/10 would stay again.
We really felt like we were secluded from the word but for the view. This place was relaxing, clean and close to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy to find! Lots to do right there too.
Gabe was very communicative and we just loved the dogs. Very friendly.
Wonderful stay with Gabe and Pat. Beautiful location with comfortable accommodations. The trail by the house leads to a beautiful river spot. Great for a picnic. Our daughter was graduating from Yale and this location had easy access to New Haven. Great nearby hiking, shopping and restaurants. Pat and Gabe checked on us often and were easy to contact. Definitely recommend and will book again for future trips

I travel for work & fun.This place is incredible!!! Oasis!
Pat and Gabe are the warmest most thoughtful people. Their dogs, Nate & Molly, are the most well behaved sweetest dogs. So comfortable, clean, stunning views, best pool, great grill, hot tub, a playground! Everything so close: hiking, beach, shopping, fishing, all types of great restaurants. We did it all! Just a perfect place!
Tips n tricks:
- another person suggested bringing your own pillows. Agreed! Especially if you prefer fancy neck pillows or need a certain type of softness/firmness.
- The most gorgeously wooded spot with Instagram worthy views. BUT bring bug spray if you are like my husband who is easily chewed up by mosquitos. (summer only)
- Kitchen pantry: Read the listing and house manual. Reminder: most owners don't stock but occasionally you get ones that do. This is not that. Anything like cling wrap, tin foil, plastic bags, oils, spices, sugar, sheet pans...bring your own or grab at the nearby dollar store.
- The apartment is set to 76 degrees. You have your own air conditioning which cools down but it defaults back to 76. So if you are going on a weekend like ours which was 100 degrees, and you like your temperature cooler (especially for sleeping) bring a fan or grab one at the local Walmart for $20.
Going back in the fall! Can't wait already.
The apartment was spotless offering everything we needed and more. The owners were thoughtful and considerate even having a “s'mores kit” ready for us to use at the fire pit later that night.
The property was beautiful! The homeowners were very sweet. The rental had everything you could possibly need and some! I highly recommend this property!
Found property very easily by following directions communicated by Pat and Gabe. Property was exactly as shown and very clean. Had some WiFi issues on our first day but Gabe responded quickly to resolve the issue. He also suggested a great takeout place on our first arrival day, which we took advantage of. Thank you Gabe! We were only their for a few days and was unable to enjoy the other amenities the property offered but it was what we needed and enjoyed our brief stay.
Beautiful property with unbelievable views. Imagine this would be stunning when leaves change in the fall. Plenty of room for us and all the things you need for your stay. Will be back on our next visit to Connecticut.
