We had a wonderful time at the guest house. It was clean and comfortable - we really enjoyed the big yard for our dog and the screened in porch to relax on. We will definitely stay again.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time returning to our favorite Newtown VRBO. We’ve stayed here before and loved it. The wild turkeys greeted us again each morning, and we enjoyed coffee on the patio taking in the beautiful views. We hope to come back for future visits!
Relaxing weekend at a beautiful and comfortable cottage
I loved staying at the cottage on this property. The entire property is beautiful, well-maintained and in a great location. Not too far from anywhere you'd want to go. I am thinking of booking the cottage at this time next year.
So comfy and cozy. Loved relaxing and reading on the porch. Spectacular autumn view of the property.
Hope to return soon.

Very well maintained and peaceful.
The cottage is comfortable, clean and although "in the woods" it is about ten minutes from the Metro North rail station in Bethel, CT. From there day tripping to NYC is a breeze.
Thought I'd try something other than a Hotel for a 4 day business trip. Was able to bring my pup! The location was beautiful, peaceful and on the top 5 list of quiet!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this guest house. The property is well-kept, private, quiet, and well equipped (we especially appreciated the screened in porch with the BBQ), and the location is convenient to the many Connecticut attractions. Its a excellent getaway without the long trip. The kids didn’t want to go home—and neither did we!
We had a relaxing visit in Newtown. We didn’t most days seeing the coast and even took a day trip to Providence RI.
The setting at the VRBO is quintessential New England.
Incredibly cozy cottage on a beautiful property. The king size bed is very comfortable. My kids loved running around the yard and the porch doubles the size of the cottage. We live in the area and needed a place to stay for a bit.
Had the most perfect stay at Janet & Steve’s guest house. Our dog loved the space to run & play in the backyard, and the rental was exactly what we needed for a 4 day stay in Connecticut. The bed is SO comfortable - we had the best sleep we’ve had in months! Thank you, Janet for being the perfect host. We can’t wait to come back again!
This was perfect for me and my husband to stay. We came back to Newtown to visit family and friends and the cottage was delightful. The weather was warm enough for us to sit out on the screened in porch and enjoy the afternoon warmth and setting of the sun. Perfect location and perfect proximity to great restaurants. We will definitely return to this gem next year.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 3 week stay in Steve and Janet’s sweet cottage and surrounding property. We loved hanging out on the porch, there is a newly updated kitchen and the bed & air mattress were super comfy! Candlewood Lake is close enough to enjoy some boating and we took full advantage of all the farms in the surrounding area. Great find!
