“The Answer” Your Unique, Tidal, Riverfront Escape
Our stay at "The Answer" was perfect. We booked spontaneously during our east coast roadtrip and arrived just a few hours after we booked. We immediately received confirmation and instructions on how to enter the house. From the first moment you could tell that the house has been furnished with the utmost care to detail and a big loving heart. We felt right at home and could not have been happier. From the well equipped kitchen, over the lovely outdoors, to the super cozy living room and bedroom, we could not have felt more welcomed and homey. Big thanks to the hosts. We would stay with you in a heartbeat! Only sad part was that we had to leave so soon and that we didn't get to meet them. Fully recommend!

Large estate with pond near beaches
This was a fabulous destination! We were looking for a big place to have a special anniversary party weekend with extended family, and this house had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms upstairs and first floor, many common gathering areas, large kitchen and dining room tables, and lots of Space. (And this doesn't even include the explorable property outside.) The dozens of photos in the listing were very helpful, as well as the detailed descriptions. We had specific needs for elderly relatives with disabilities, and owner Lynne was so responsive in her replies to my many messages with varied questions. Truly, Lynne, you deserve a gold star from Airbnb for promptness and offering up ways and help that made our stay both easier and fulfilling.

New Lake House w/Game Room&Views
Jamie was prompt with communication and helpfulness made our trip so smooth giving us directions as we got settled into the home! They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed!" The property was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated words can’t explain the detail to this home! Unbelievable view peaceful and relaxing! We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this host to anyone. We hope to stay with them again soon!

Waterfront 10 min to Uconn - fire pit outdoor tv
My 2 colleagues and I stayed here during a conference at U Conn and it was absolutely perfect. The house is steps from the lake with beautiful views. Great porch, 2 fire pits (one is part of the porch table itself!), and fun water bikes. Great swimming and relaxing all around. The house itself is comfortable and super clean. Last but not least , the host Jena was truly above and beyond helpful, responsive, and accommodating. We had an awesome time - it felt like a true retreat :)

Gardner Lake 2 Queen/1King/2 Bath/Laundry- Private
My family and I of 5 stayed at Peter’s place from the April 14th-17th. The place was very easy to find, plenty of parking space, easy instructions to get in. Upon entering everything was very clean and organized, the rooms were the perfect size for all of us to stay in. Plenty of towels for all of us. The backyard is nice although we didn’t use it because it was chilly while we were there, but it was very clean! Mystic is about 30 ish minutes away from the place. There is a near by small beach as well for the summer days. At night everything is very quiet, and peaceful, the beds were comfortable. The charging pods on the night stand were great as well. The air conditioning in every room were great, the washer and dryer in the main bedroom was very useful, and they provide the detergent pods as well which is great. Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here. We didn’t have to contact Peter about any concerns, because we felt right at home.

The Perch
I have stayed at lots of places in the last few years . . . and this place ranks right at the top. It is beyond beautiful. The water views from the living room and both bedrooms made it hard to leave and come home. It's actually even more amazing than the pictures. Don't think twice! Book this place now!

Breathtaking Panoramic Waterfront
The house had stunning views from every room on all floors. The kitchen was well-equipped for our large family. The owner’s responses to questions about the property were prompt and helpful. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub since it was too early in the season for the swimming pool. My family agreed we would rent again if a reunion is planned.

Sunset Oasis 2 @ Ocean Beach: Ranch w/ 6 Queen
This place was a great stay! spotless just like the pictures, a beautiful view where we got the chance to see a wonderful sunset! Instructions were clear and my family had a great time!

Updated 4 Bed, 1 Bedroom Waterfront Condo
We had an amazing stay! Beautiful condo the decor is spotless & the outdoor deck is a huge bonus. Watching the sunset or having coffee in the morning really lade the stay even more relaxing. I cant wait to go back. :)

Loft apartment, deck and great water view
This was our 2nd stay at Andrea’s place. Very peaceful and convenient location for our visits to Connecticut. We come to visit family but the small river towns like Deep River offer much to do and excellent restaurants to boot. We highly recommend Andreas property!

Lakefront Country Oasis
Margie’s place is an amazing hidden gem. The inside is very clean and comfortable. The outside is an experience of its own. The lake will drop your blood pressure immediately. Gorgeous surroundings. The dogs are friendly and lovable. We will be back! 👍🏼

Hide Away at Rock Farm UConn Private BnB “5 Star”
This was a great place to stay. Jeri was a wonderful host - responsive, kind, warm, and friendly. The place was beautiful, and all the amenities made the stay very pleasant. Fresh eggs and cream in the fridge, along with chickens right outside really set this place apart. Wonderful place, wonderful stay, amazing host.

Private paradise 3 min from town ice skating pond!
My friend and I stayed at Clare’s Airbnb in Montauk over the weekend, and she was one the nicest and most attentive hosts we have stayed with. Our room was really nice and contained everything we needed to have a very comfortable time. We really appreciated Clare for her very friendly hospitality and for going above and beyond for us whenever we needed her for something. And she was so lovely to our dog, Chi Chi ☺️ We will def stay at her place again if we make another visit to Montauk! 🐶🐾💕

Lovely 2-bedroom apartment in a historic home
We had a very enjoyable time in the apartment. Everything was as described. Would come back without hesitation.

Fair Haven Heights Entire 1 Bedroom Apartment
Ricardo’s place was truly incredible. It’s such a cozy, clean and convenient spot located in a very good area. Had everything you need and have a very home-like feel. I was visiting my girlfriend for our anniversary and the weather wasn’t the greatest outside but that didn’t bother us one bit. We were comfortable cooking and eating at home and we had everything to make that happen. Ricardo and his wife were so kind and flexible with us. We would love to come back in the summertime and fully enjoy their spot again because there are great views in the backyard by the water. Well worth the price of admission. Thank you Ricardo and family. We will definitely be back if you’ll have us! Cheers 🥂

New Haven East Haven Border Inn
Kimberly was a wonderful host. She promptly answered any questions we had concerning the reservation. She made sure our stay was comfortable. She even went above beyond by leaving complimentary snacks.

Waterfront cottage overhanging the water!
We had a beautiful stay at the cabin. The views are stunning and the hot tub was glorious. A lovely escape into nature.

Welcome to The Holly at Amston Lake
Such a great stay! The area is beautiful, and you can see the water right from the front deck. The Airbnb itself is so cute, with great little touches, like a coffee bar, fire pit, and great views. It was a really peaceful stay, and our pups loved it too.

Lakeside Cottage in the Forest
We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was clear from the moment we arrived that they had put a lot of thought into making the place comfortable and easy to enjoy. The cabin was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the things we appreciated most was the detailed binder the owner provided—it included a map of the property, local tips, and great information about all the activities available right on site. It made exploring super easy and fun. We especially loved kayaking with our friends—it was such a peaceful and memorable part of the trip. Between the beautiful surroundings, the well-equipped cabin, and the thoughtful touches throughout, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cozy, activity-filled, and well-cared-for place to stay!

Pet-Friendly Private Beach Oceanfront Cottage A/C
Highly recommend! Beautiful space with an incredible location right on the water! Stunning sunsets and views! So quiet and peaceful. Appreciated the very clear directions from Elizabeth in terms of the house and local area! Can’t wait to return!

Direct Waterfront Cottage on Moodus Reservoir.
Stephanie was fantastic at communication prior to our trip. Home was perfect for our stay.

Vintage Bolton Lake
If you are looking for simplicity (which we were) this is the perfect place to. I’ve always wanted to stay at a lake house. We couldn’t have asked for more. Serene, tranquil, beautiful are the proper descriptions of the house and the area. We came to Connecticut to visit my daughter and family and they ended up coming to our place instead. Jason was extremely helpful when needed. We would definitely stay there again!

Updated cottage "Beriozka" on Cedar Lake
As everyone else noted, what an AMAZING find! A truly beautiful location that has you saying “wow” from when you first step inside. The place had everything you could ask for and we felt like we were at home. I would certainly come back again and I completely understand why she is booked out through the summer. What a lovely area and easy access to so many towns and attractions.

Waterfront Cottage, Fort Pond MTK
Wonderful all around!! Thank you again to Noah who was terrific. Lovely place :)
