The house sleeps 10 comfortably. Three large sized bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms. The Primary bedroom is locted off of the main area with a bathroom that has a skylighted dual shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed amd a full futon, also a powder room. The third bedroom is on the ground floor level with two full beds and a seperate bathroom.
The main area of house is an open plan layout, with a wall of sliding glass doors affording views of nature from every point of the house.

The property is wrapped by a Nature Preserve (Clinton Land Trust Preservation) for solidarity and quiet. The trail can be picked up from the driveway. A large deck off of the main living area is a private retreat to the natural habitat, with a view of a small pond, and sounds of the crickets and birds.

This is the perfect location for family gatherings around holidays, summer vacation, college graduations or for visiting professors' families. Yale University, Connecticut College and Wesleyan University are all under 30 miles away.

The house is ten minutes away from Hammonasset State Beach, ten minutes away from a Clinton Premium Outlet Mall and ten minutes away from downtown Clinton.

Serene Oasis

This property was exceptional. It’s a peaceful oasis in the woods while being convenient to local attractions. The hosts made it very comfortable and inviting. Plenty of room for 2 couples or family of 6. Would highly recommend.

This charming retreat was calm , peaceful and perfect for our family of 8. It was the most well stocked short term rental we have ever stayed. Everything but a few groceries were there for us. Cathy was a fantastic host. She responded almost instantly when I asked a question. Thank you

Lovely site. Very calm and Peaceful, Pleasant babbling brook sounds. Enjoyed the hiking trails right behind the house. The house was well equipped with everything needed: salt, poncho, toilet paper, bandages, etc. No need to run out. Totally prepared kitchen with plates, pots, tools. Everything needed was there. Simple check-in. Cathy is very easy to work with.
