Adorable old house

The tree outfront needs to be trimmed desperately. Turning out of the house was quite dangerous. The house was cute and old. It was a 15-20 minute drive to all nearby attractions.

Wonderful

My family and I had a fabulous time at this beautiful, charming, well-cared for home. Communication with the owner was excellent. We used the fire pit nightly, thanks to the generous stock pile of kindling and firewood. We made use of the kayaks and paddle board, and enjoyed trips back and forth across the river. We brought two bicycles, and the neighborhood was lovely to ride through, with very little traffic. Two of my adult children had to work from home during our stay, and the Wi-Fi worked very well. The eight of us slept very comfortably at night, and we would highly recommend this lovey home.

River property

Our family and dogs had a great time especially on sunny days. We brougt our own kayaks. There are quite a few steps to water, we also used the paddle board on property. We also fished. Great time. The property is rustic and charming.

Family Vacation

Amy and the property manager were very prompt in responding to any concerns. The house has a large yard with plenty of room for lawn games. It is set back from the road with lots of greenery making you feel like you are in the country, as well as giving you privacy. Yet there were plenty of stores nearby for any needs that arose. Porch was great for morning coffee while enjoying the river view. We did not use the fire pit, but it was spacious and nicely positioned overlooking the river. Having access to the river and use of the kayaks was great although there were more steps than expected to reach the waterfront. Looking at the posted picture I thought the water would have been closer. There were also many places to see within a short drive, Mystic Aquarium, Niantic boardwalk, etc. New London is close by and has a ferry to Block Island if you want to take a day trip. My family is tall and found the beds to be short and uncomfortable. Due to the footboard they had to sleep diagonally. The cottage is old and has quirks but, overall is a nice get away from the daily routine.

Lovely time

The porch was essential and the house was a beautiful with so much character. The paddleboard and kayaks were great fun. The only downside is that the neighbors' docks (on both sides) prohibits having a dock and limits the size of the waterfront. The views from the porch and the adirondack chairs are spectacular. We saw so much wildlife, from horseshoe crabs to tiny bioluminescent comb jellyfish (which do not sting) to osprey to bunker fish. The house and the river were truly beautiful! The property managers were great too! They reached out a few times, making sure that we enjoyed our stay. We would highly definitely recommend!!!

This summer cottage is near and dear to us. We four sisters are fourth generation owners! The property was originally purchased in 1910 by our father's great-aunts. The picture is at The Dock in Niantic, one of our favorite places to enjoy seafood.
