About this property

Peaceful farm area, on the reservoir, near vineyards

This simply cozy studio looks out upon a hay field visited daily by deer and other wildlife. We let nature take its course here, plants and wildlife run free. The covered patio is a perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the geese land in the reservoir. The kitchenette includes a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, tea kettle and coffee machine. This is an open area studio, there is not a separate bedroom. This 4+ acre hay-farm property is bordered on 2 sides by the reservoir. We are within walking distance (about a mile) to two vineyards, and just a few minutes drive to downtown restaurants, shops and Choate campus. The main house is about 25 feet from the studio. No-cost early check-in and late check-out is available much of the time, just ask. Please note, regardless of where you park (on our paved driveway or on the designated grassy area so you are closer to the studio) you will need to walk 40 or so feet across lawn to access the Studio).

Lovely little cottage overlooking a pasture bordering a tranquil reservoir. We loved seeing the deer appearing in the pasture! The cottage is thoughtfully appointed and attractively decorated. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious patio with our morning coffee. Everything was just perfect for a relaxing break in a country setting - but also near the amenities of Wallingford.

We had a great stay.. the place is adorable, clean and plenty of towels and care products… parking spot on the beautiful, scenic property. Private, safe and away from busy areas. We did meet the hosts .. they were available but invisible which made it feel like a private oasis.

Cuuuuuute!!

We were in town for business, and wanted to try something other than a stuffy and impersonal hotel. When I found this listing I thought “how cute. Let’s give it a try”. Boy we were not disappointed! The hosts were pleasant and accommodating, and the house was adorable. I couldn’t get over the bedroom view, so relaxing and serene. We were close enough to shops and restaurants to make the location convenient, but not so close to be smack in the middle of town. We will definitely book again the next time we are going through the area.

Property was well appointed and maintained. Hosts made certain all was ready, clean, and well stocked with the essentials. The setting with the nearby water, trees, wild flowers and wildlife (deer, birds, rabbits, etc) was serene and restful. The nearby wineries are worth the visit and wide variety of restaurants and shopping was a plus.

Quite Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Beth's place. It was very clean and she thought of everything you would need. We enjoyed our walk to the reservoir and we actually saw a deer on the property. If you are yearning for peace and quiet, this is your place. It is in a great location with plenty of places to dine at and central to many activities.

Short stay

We had a very quick trip to the Wallingford, CT area. The price was right, the location was perfect and the property was very nice. Quiet, comfortable and relaxing (when we were there). We did see several deer roaming the open field and feeding off the trees. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. Added touches with snacks, teas, honey, etc. Easy communication with our host. Very nice experience.

Beautiful location, gracious host, clean & lovely studio!

This was a great location in a quiet area looking over the reservoir. We saw a few different kinds of birds and also deer, and the morning sunrise from bed was beautiful. The local wineries are a stones throw away and anything else you could want is a quick drive. The host's communication was perfect and the studio unit was immaculate and carefully thought out with everything you could need. The only tiny thing, and might be personal preference, was the water pressure in the shower was very slow. But wouldnt prevent me from staying here again and in fact I'm looking forward to hopefully staying there in the future on my many trips into CT. Thank you again!

Country get-away

This is a lovely property that looks just like the pictures at VRBO. Owners are also very nice and available as needed (although we did not need anything). The studio is impeccable and newly renovated. The bed is very comfortable and towels were top quality. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

Great place for a quick gateaway

As others noted it's a hidden gem that offers privacy and beautiful views of the lake yet has easy access to everything . The surrounding nature, the welcoming hosts, the cleanliness of the place and even snacks that were supplied by the hosts, all made it for a wonderful experience. Beth is a great host, is very responsive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests have everything they need. I highly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Beth! 😊
