This is a great home. The photos are very accurate but you don’t get the full story until you are here. This home has a big personality with lots of interesting features and antiques that make it feel like a home, not a sterile rental. The location is great! Lots of trails, kayaking possibilities, close to New Haven . We are loving being here.

Barbara is a delightful host. We met her during our first stay when she was on site working in her shop on the ground floor.We returned for a second stay (family wedding/reunion) renting both floors of this lovely VRBO. That gave me an opportunity to sit around the dining table and play UNO with both my daughters and their families, a very cherished activity that I will treasure forever. Too many miles normally keep us separated.The recent lingering Nor'easter kept us inside for the most part but we did enjoy viewing the water from our units.Would I return to Stony Creek for a third visit? YES!

What an incredible PROPERTY! Barbara is an amazing host. There are so many little touches and things that she leaves for you. She makes check-in a breeze and check out even easier. The location is absolutely perfect. Such an easy walk down to the dock. 1000 out of 10 would stay again!!!

What a gem in Stony Creek! A spacious apartment above the antique store. Walking distance to the market (wonderful breakfast sandwiches). Very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. TV room had games for all ages, puzzles and books. Very clean with a quaint laid back vibe. This is a place we will put on repeat when looking for a change of pace.

Stony Creek Getaway

I’ve been visiting friends that live in Stony Creek for years, but this weekend with a wedding to attend right down the road we decided to get our own place, and this could not have been more perfect. It was clean, accessible, spacious and welcoming. If you’ve never visited the area this is a perfect place to stay and explore this great little town.

Great stay in beautiful home and charming village of Stony Creek!

This property is full of whimsy, fun, lovely decor and perfectly placed antiques. Lots of room for the family to spread out with two living rooms. Well stocked with all the essentials. Both front patio and deck spaces give outdoor seating options. We enjoyed walks along the water with views of the thimble Islands and just across the street to the Trolley Trail and footbridge.

Wow!

Ridiculously spacious. Barbara thought of everything. Extensive movie options, board games, well-stocked Keurig, cookies, even some vinyl LPs! We've stayed in many VRBO properties, but this one is the clear winner! 10-15 minutes away from your choice of excellent restaurants and just a minute away from the shore. Thank you Barbara!

Comfort, Conversation, Charm in abundance

We 3 (mother, sister, adult daughter) arrived on a gray, drizzly afternoon. First comment by all: "So glad it's raining so we don't have to go anywhere!" the suite is so charming with unexpected artful touches throughout that there is no way one could not feel certain that this is a true "home away from home" for relaxing, recharging, and making new memories to last a lifetime.

We Keep Coming Back

We return to Branford because we love the area. We return to Barbara's rental because she always spoils us with her kind hospitality and attention to details. This is our fourth stay, our first in this apartment; we found it as beautifully curated and comfortable as the top floor. The weather during our stay was March-like, changeable from winter wind to spring sunshine, and the apartment met the challenge - warm and cozy throughout. Barbara has a knack for providing the elegance of a hotel with the comfort of home, with some eclectic decor and antiques thrown in. We had a wonderful stay, certain not to be our last at this unique property.

Wonderful stay

We were so impressed with the location, size, cleanliness, and accessibility of this property. It was tons of room for our family of 4 and our dogs. We felt immediately right at home and it was an excellent location for our wedding at the Guilford yacht club. Even though it is 2 bedrooms we were able to make the little sitting room into a sleeping area for our infant. The host was very accessible and helpful. The yummy snacks that were left saved a few temper tantrums with our toddler and the high chair and available pack n play were great help with our infant. Thank you again!

Homey, warm and so comfortable.

The pictures on the web site don't do this lovely apartment justice. If you want to be apart of an Eastern shore town, choose this rental. I would recommend, coming before Memorial Weekend, as this little town fills up quickly. Barb and her husband are amazing. They have put so much work into the building, it was indeed a labor of love. Do take the Thimble Island boat ride to see the amazing homes on these tiny but beautiful islands. Do go to Rosso Vino for dinner one night.......great food/service and not overly priced. We will be out this way in 2019 and will be sure to stay here. Thank you Barb for everything............you are such a nice person.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 March 2020
Yes, Felicia was here for SPRING in full bloom - and she's right that in SUMMER our little village is quite busy (when accommodations are in highest demand): but guests will surely find something special about our neighborhood ANY time of the year. AUTUMN in our area is stunning - when the foliage color is artistic and the air is crisp with the smell of harvested apples and pumpkin spice. Crunchy leaves underfoot on the nature trail may bring back memories of childhood adventures. Then again, WINTER has it's peaceful charms: our place is an ideal writer's retreat setup for working on that novel, screenplay - or humble blog post. (Melville, Hawthorne, Whitman and Twain all found genius inspiration in New England's wintry days.) Walking down to the marina when the snow is falling and holiday lights twinkling is magical. So, basically -> it's always the right time of year to stay with us at Stony Creek Depot!

Perfect Stony Creek Stay

Our 2 night stay at the Ridgeview Suite exceeded our expectations. It was lovely to meet Barbara at the depot. She put so much attention and care to the property. So many surprising details and ameniites. I normally stay in hotels so was thrilled to find robes and slippers! Great furnishings and decor in every room. I slept so well. More space than we needed for just the 2 of us but lovely for having another couple over for a bit after dinner. We didn't cook but the kitchen was incredibly well equipped. Great location- a quick walk down to the Stony Creek Market which has the friendliest people and great breakfast and luck. (We were lucky enough that Stony Creek Market also had pizza night during our visit.) We hope to visit again for a longer stay. Thank you!

excellent property with swwet Stony Creek vibes

This is a rare rental available in the "village" of Stony Creek, allowing you to walk to all the lovely spots in the community. The space is very generous, with a large kitchen/dining room, two parlors, laundry room, and a foyer/office in addition to deck/porch space. This makes it a great value for your money. There are beautiful views out over the Thimble Islands and lots of operable windows to bring in the natural light and sea breezes. This is a sturdy historical building with plenty of charm. Ample thought has been put into the guest experience, such as providing beach towels. The unit it is one story above the street, which is nice for privacy. This is the main street in town, but still a quiet place. The owners have another rental upstairs, so you may occasionally hear footsteps etc. - not a problem at all, just something that some would want to be aware of. The railroad bridge is nearby, so if you are not used to the train noise, it might surprise you at first; however, the trains do not blow their horns and the host has provided ear plugs. Tiny things that made it not-perfect for me: perfumes in cleaning products and (this is a very nitpicky one!) lightbulbs with a very cool color temperature, making an otherwise cozy place feel un-cozy at night. That said, it is a very high-quality property with proactive local hosts so I do not hesitate to recommend it.
