Excellent communication with host and nearby neighbor. Beautiful large pool. Large deck off back of house offered a fabulous view. Enjoyed the peace and tranquility and sitting on the front porch relaxing. Nice sauna in lower level bathroom. Great local eateries and grocery stores nearby.

Had a great few days at this home. Views were spectacular! The host was very responsive and helpful. Litchfield area is very pretty. Plenty of room in this house to spread out. It must be a wonderful place to spend a summer vacation as the pool looked beautiful even covered.Would definitely return.

Really great house for a long weekend. The pool was perfect, we used the side yard for games with the family, and we ate on the deck and the gazebo everyday. We also used the sauna every day. Locally we went to the vineyard and did some hikes in the area. Thomas was a great host as well. 2pm checkout was also a huge plus because we are fairly local so we could use the pool the day of checkout as well. Overall I would highly recommend.

We stood for a week. The most relaxing week ever. Host gave us the best hospitality making sure everything was ok through messages. The property is very private far from other houses very clean and quiet. The inside of house very clean. Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. Beds were comfortable. What we used the most was the backyard beautiful grill barbecue setup to relax outdoors. And the amazing pool 8ft deep to refresh in. Privacy relaxation and good times will be remembered. I am 100 percent sure anyone that will rent this place will have a great time. Thank you for everything. All for the best.

Thank you for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed your time at the Blue House, though a bit surprised by your feedback since we were in touch throughout your stay. In particular, no concerns were reported during our exchanges/calls, nor were any of the issues you reference identified during the pre/post inspections. In this respect, I note that the lawn is cut every 10 days, and the house is fully cleaned and separetly inspected prior to any stay, with alll trash taken out.
