This property was all that it promised! It was clean, and had everything we could have possibly needed, in the kitchen and throughout the house. The Host was very responsive to our needs. It was easy to get in to the property and the Welcome paperwork and book were very helpful. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great! The location is spectacular. It was the perfect place for a Gilmore Girls trip. We loved our time at the Art House! The doorbell was a real treat!Thank you!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The property was impeccable—every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the artwork was simply stunning. The location couldn’t have been better—it was serene and ideal for rest and relaxation, especially for a girls’ trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway—highly recommend!

A great farm style house on a beautiful lot. The kitchens was stocked with all essentials and the property was relaxing and enjoyable. It appeared the sheets could be replaced. Some had some older stains on them but were still clean and the Rest of the house was very clean.

Vincent, We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at the Art House and all it has to offer. We are, however, so sorry to hear about the sheets. Though clean, it seems we missed the mark. We've spoken to our housekeepers and made sure those ones were removed and replaced. That being said, we truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back sometime in the future! Take care.

Thank you so much for opening your incredible home for our weekend getaway! The house was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed for 4 adults & 2 (almost 2 yo) toddlers.Highlights included a trip to the Everwonder kids museum and Nordica toys. The living room was perfect for an early 2000s dance party. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we might have needed and everything was clean, and beautiful!

We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years. This is easily in my top 2 of all time. There is not one thing I could criticize. Comfy beds, private/secluded location, great kitchen, plenty of room/seating, and very clean and well maintained with awesome wood floors and well done exposed beams. The location was perfect and close to good dining and New Milford. If we are ever up this way again, we will definitely stay here. Book it...you won't regret it!

The property was beautiful. Location was close to family that live in the area. The house was big enough for my family and we loved the fire pit in the back. We will definitely book again when we come to Connecticut if it is available
