We enjoyed our stay in the guest house. It is clean and has so many kitchen dishes and amenities and also coffee and other supplies. Lynn is so easy to work with and close by if you need anything. The home is everything it is advertised as and more. If we come back to the area we would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The host was fabulous; kind, helpful, courteous. The location was great, the property was clean and amenities as stated. We were close to lots of things to do (we did a fishing charter, Mystic Seaport Museum and Sabino River cruise, Harbor Lighthouse tour, Nautilus Museum, walked the Niantic Bay Boardwalk and beach combed). Places to eat and shop were close by as well. We would gladly return for another stay and hope to sometime in the future! Thank you, Lynn!

Thank you, Tamara, for this fabulous review. And Wow, did you do so many fun things in a weekend! I’m so glad you enjoyed our area and our guest house. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all. We would love to have you return, but I think your goal of visiting all 50 states in the next few years is wonderful. I hope you can do both. 💕

My fiancé and I had an amazing time here. Lynn and Dave were amazing hosts. All the amenities. Very clean. Dock is right across the yard. We enjoyed going out for the evenings and staying in. Very quiet and peaceful. We always enjoy trying new places to stay when we travel but we would repeat stay here over and over.

We enjoyed out stay at Lynn's house. Lynn and her husband are attentive hosts who also give you space. Checking in by just coming in to an unlocked house and the key waiting for you on a mantel brought the memory of the good old times. The property is in a quiet area, with the river and some fabulous old trees. The house is clean and equipped with everything that we needed for our weekend stay.

We loved staying at this adorable cottage that fully fit all 5 of us (adults). The place has everything you need! Even honey for my daughter's tea! The beds were great and the washer and dryer were a plus! A beautiful quiet setting was convenient for our adventures in Waterford and New London. And the hosts were so wonderful and helpful. We loved Poppy too. Thanks again, Lynn!! We will be back.

The place is lovely, comfortable, and immaculately clean. It has a wonderful history as well. The host was delightful, and always available if needed. Good conversation, beautiful views, and a great central location to take day trips around the area from. We could not have found a better place.
