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).

A very serene and beautiful property. The small cottage is wonderful and Beth was very accommodating to our needs . Would definitely stay every time we are in the area.
Everything about this property makes me smile!!! From the location to the hosts and everything in between, it is just PERFECT!!! This will be the first property I check availability on when we visit the area. It is quaint, clean, nicely appointed and the hosts are wonderful people!
Everything about staying here was perfect yet again - location, host, grounds, the studio itself, cleanliness, all of it. As long as it's available, it will be my go to spot when I'm visiting CT! 🙂
So sweet! We loved our stay even though i didn't relaize there was no stove when we booked. We purchased a burner and made our food. Everything else was wonderful! Very private and beautiful views and lots of sun! easily. They were nice about just no smel
This was the perfect space for R and R- off the beaten path, but easy access to the interstate and larger cities. Absolutely beautiful spot near farmland and the reservoir, and I loved the flower gardens. The owners were kind and communicative. Very clean, comfortable studio that I'd highly recommend to anyone going to the area.
Peaceful gateway. A 5÷ star for cleanliness.The setting is very picturesque.Beautiful trails for biking or hiking near by.The host Beth really went out of her way to make sure we had a good experience. We loved all the attention to detail It made our stay very pleasant
We'll definitely come back
This is a hidden gem. spotlessly clean. Unexpected delicious snacks. wildlife to be seen on property. Excellent hiking nearby. Hosts are knowledgeable of area. We plan to return.
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.
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! 😊
We just returned from a fantastic long weekend away and would return in a heartbeat. From arrival we were completely impressed by the studio...the onsite pictures and description were an understatement. The studio was clean, organized and decorated to give a home away from home vibe. The owners did such a great job thinking of all the little amenities to make our stay so very welcoming. We will definitely return if traveling through the area again!
Our stay was great. Beautiful property that offers privacy and lots of nature. Nice outdoor patio. Lots of windows that I love. Perfect set up for 1 to 2 people. The bed was very comfortable. There was nothing that we needed. 10-15 minutes to get to store. Less then 10 minutes to Highway. Definitely would stay again.
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.
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!
This beautiful little studio is perfect for a couple, looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Wake up to the spacious view of the sunrise behind the meadow and the treelined lake.Clean and comfortable accommodation inside the studio and a spacious covered porch, furnished to enjoy your dinner in the fresh air.A well-furnished kitchen for preparing your meals, and even a decanter with some snacks provided!If you are interested in some local wine, there are two wineries, located a very short distance away.We were delighted with the studio in every way and highly recommend it.
Chaleureux accueil, très propre, très bien située, la maison propose tout confort pour 2 personnes. La venue tous les jours des biches avec leurs faons et de multiples espèces d’oiseaux comblent les photographes amateurs.
This property is super cute and a perfect place to stay for a few days! The view of the reservoir is peaceful, the place was very clean and had everything needed!
