My children were raised here, family gatherings that spill to the great back yard spring, summer and fall. Touch football all year long (or soccer) on our flat one acre. Outdoor grilling or many nights just looking at the stars and watch the wind in the trees. Summer hear the music from the Levitt Pavillion (or join the fun - its free almost everynight in summer!). Winter snowsled at Winslow Park, Ice Skate at Longshore and it is a must to attend Staples High School Candlelight Service in December!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Betsy's home in Westport. We stayed for several weeks while our son play his final baseball season for Yale, just a short drive to New Haven. Betsy's home had all of the comforts of our own home, plenty of amenities, and very, very clean. My husband was able to work comfortably daily, as did our daughter, who trained in from NYC to stay overnight a few times. Betsy was very responsive to all our inquiries, from using the local tennis courts to having packages delivered. We joined the local Y for our workouts & enjoyed many walks & runs around the neighborhoods. The village is minutes away - either on foot or car, with shopping & restaurants. Just a fabulous stay. Thank you Betsy!

Perfect home for a long weekend or vacation in Connecticut. Great for kids and families and the host was very accommodating. The sun room and pellet stove were a great addition. We had a blast!

This lovely home on a large lot in a quiet development charms with its comfortable and relaxing ambience. Although finishes and decor are somewhat dated, the home was clean and very inviting. We were treated to visits by deer and a red fox most mornings as we had coffee on the enclosed porch overlooking the back yard. A great place to stay for our pups too!

Dave was a wonderful host and the house is so comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed seeing a couple of deer a few times while lounging in the hot tub. The back yard view is amazing with a gorgeous copper beech tree in back and another in front. Hope we can return soon.

From beginning to end one of the nicest property owners and homes we have ever rented. We literally felt like houseguests of a long time friend’s home. Everything you could possibly want was provided and the back yard...spectacular!!! We hosted a college graduation party for a few families and the house was absolutely perfectly set up to entertain. When our son get into Yale Law, WE WILL BE BACK! 😉

Everything was as described. The owners were great and communicative throughout. House is on a wonderful little street with very little traffic. The location is very close to the main shopping district of Westport. Could definitely walk but its just a few minute drive as well. Backyard is very pretty with a nice enclosed sunroom that you can sit out and watch wildlife. We saw many deer, squirrel, a red fox etc. all meandering through within 20 feet us.

Peaceful family home in a great neighborhood and super hosts!

We had a fantastic week at Betsy’s. It really was home from home. She gave us a very warm welcome and really went the extra mile by leaving out very clear instructions on facilities and things to do in the local area. Her home is so cosy and was very comfortable. Plenty of towels and bedding and extra heaters if we needed them (which we didn’t as the central heating was ample). There is also a large playing area in the basement. I would definitely recommend a visit and stay in her house and we do hope to be able to return one day. We stayed in October and we had deer visiting our backyard every single day. Thank you Betsy and Dave (+Tom)!
