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!

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!

Great short stay

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!

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.

Throughly Enjoyed Our Stay!

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!

Truly a retreat

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.
