About this apartment rental
The building (originally a pub for local quarry workers) was built in the late 1800s, with the upper residence added in the 1930s. We've renovated the suite (2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths) with modern comforts while retaining much of the original charm. The interior design aesthetic is a blend of new and funky vintage finds, carefully chosen to be age and gender neutral. With a large bright kitchen, office/library, wet-bar and laundry room, this suite offers many more amenities than a comparably priced B&B or hotel room in Branford.
It's a perfect space for family vacations, bridal parties, corporate and academic professionals who seek fully furnished, inclusive utilities and WiFi.

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.

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.

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!

We just finished our second stay in this wonderful apartment and have already booked a third. Barbara is a wonderful host who has created a welcoming and beautiful place to stay in picturesque Stony Creek. The decor is charming, comfortable, clean, and provides everything you need for a short or extended stay. We now call it our Connecticut home. Can’t wait to go back this fall!

We stayed at this charming property on a short spring break get away. It had everything we needed to rest and relax. The location was also great with just 20 minutes drive to New Haven.

What a wonderful vacation rental! The apartment is beautiful with eclectic decor that is visually pleasing. The kitchen is well stocked, there are multiple offerings of books, games and videos and wonderful walking trails nearby. There is space for everything from relaxing to dining to outdoor seating. There is even an office space for remote work. The apartment is so large we felt we could easily and comfortably live there. Barbara is an excellent host and fun to talk to. We loved that she welcomed our extra large Newfoundlands as guests. Stony Creek is a beautiful sleepy village with not much to do but a very short drive into downtown Branford or Indian Neck for dining or nightlife. We rate this rental as number one of all of the places we have stayed with our dogs from Florida to upstate New York and in between. Highly recommended! We were sad to leave.

Our stay could not have been more perfect!! We arrived to find that the owner had decorated with stunning holiday decorations!! She also had delicious snacks waiting for us to enjoy after our long trip from Colorado. The location was perfect since it was next to the Legacy Theatre where our daughter and 2 grandchildren were performing in A Christmas Carol. We can't wait to return!

This eclectic suite was very comfortable and offered us everything we could possibly want for one night or a month. The owner, Barbara, was very accommodating to our needs and easy to reach. We then stayed one more. Isn’t in the third floor suite which is just as well appointed. We will hope to always stay in one of these two suites whenever we visit the eastern shoreline of Connecticut!

My husband and I have stayed at several properties through VRBO in the past three months and this was far and away the BEST ! Very clean. Lots of natural light and lots of space. The host, Barbara is so welcoming and has an excellent eye for decorating. There is also everything and anything you could possibly want on hand for either a short or long stay. Lots of kitchenware, a breakfast bar with COFFEE ! Large shower, two sitting rooms, a porch and deck to sit on. Lots of books and brochures regarding activities in the area. Great Wi- Fi and two large TV's. It is a quaint little village with easy access to hiking trails. If we are ever in the area again, we will return to this lovely get-away.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The Ridgeview Suite was clean, spacious, cozy, and beautifully furnished and decorated. We also appreciated the thoughtful extras, such as the fruit, snacks, coffees, books, and games. We met Barbara in her shop below, and she was very hospitable, offering suggestions of dog-friendly outdoor restaurants and walking trails. She even gave our dog a cute little gift! Thank you again! Until next time...
