We had a wonderful stay at Bridget's place in Chester, CT. Communication pre-arrival was perfect. We had great directions and instructions on checking in. Even though our flight was late and we got in very late, everything was smooth.Once on site, the place was super clean and exactly as described in the listing.Would definitely stay here again.
The house was beautiful and serene and Bridget was so helpful. We brought our baby and Bridget set up a high chair, travel crib, changing table, and box of excellent toys! It made the experience very smooth. Bridget was also very responsive and provided a list of restaurant recommendations that worked out great. We would definitely stay again!
Very lovely retreat tucked away in Chester, CT. The guest home was stunning from the outside and inside. Very accommodating hosts as that stock the home with everything you need for your vacation.
What a fantastic place to stay! We loved this place and everything about it. Charming, absolutely!!! Clean, wonderfully so!!! Perfect location for what we needed as well; we will gladly stay here again!
I booked this stay as a 40th birthday weekend for my husband, and it was everything we hoped for. The cottage was cozy and perfect for disconnecting, yet just a short drive to Main Street in charming Chester.We loved having two bedrooms with different mattress options (we preferred the firm), and the space balanced historic charm with bright, updated decor. The clawfoot tub was a highlight, and the attached setup still felt private with a locked door.Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
Fantastic experience! The host was wonderful—very responsive and welcoming. The place was spotless and well-kept, and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend!
My family were visiting Connecticut to see the steam train in Essex for Christmas and stayed at Bridget's cottage. It was lovely, clean, spacious and perfect for our 2 day stay. Bridget was a lovely host and so accommodating, especially with our children in tow. We would happily stay again!
The pictures truly don’t do the cottage justice. It truly is amazingly cute, clean and in the most perfectly tranquil area. Communication and friendliness with host A. Would stay here again and would highly recommend.
Very pretty and comfortable property! We particularly loved the light in the kitchen, and Bridget was amazing in communication. And so easy to get into downtown Chester--a quick walk!
This Charming Chester Retreat was so comfortable we wanted to stay longer! Plenty of room, the kitchen and bathroom were nicely appointed and the decor was lovely. It is on a quiet tree lined street with lots of privacy. We stayed there to have our own space while visiting family and it was a great place to relax. Our favorite part was the wide covered porch with a couple rocking chairs, perfect for watching the leaves fall and hosting friends.Our hosts were friendly and very responsive. We will definitely stay here again.
The house couldn't be cuter, and was fully stocked with all essentials we needed during our trip. We instantly felt right at home.
Bridget was extremely responsive and helpful when asked about the area, or if we were in need of anything extra :)
We would highly recommend and plan on returning down the line!
This accommodation exceeded all my expectations. It is blissfully quiet and wonderfully comfortable. Couldn’t be cleaner and had every kitchen item, towel and bedding we needed. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful, while maintaining the privacy of the rental space. I look forward to staying again.
We had a girls weekend with several of us traveling from out of state. This really is a fantastic stay in Chester. It was clean and little thoughtful touches everywhere. We had a little issue with wifi, host was super responsive and fixed it right away.
Exceptional! The property was very comfortable, and felt like home. It was spotless, well equipped, quiet, private....the host thought of everything. We will return without question!
