About this apartment rental
*Hot tub/fire pit/pool! Hike our woods to deer trail along the river! Over 80 eateries within 15 mins! Enjoy winery/craft beer/farm/market visits; easy to moderate hiking; world-class indoor ropes course; indoor sports/gaming center; trampoline park, much more. Near aquarium, kids' attractions, museums, concerts, nightlife, LIS boat tours.
*We are still the ultimate couple's, private getaway, but we're making it easier to bring the little ones for a low-keyed, but fun-filled vacation. When you're not enjoying our outdoor amenities that include a play set, relax in your very own home theater with 66" HD Smart TV. Full kitchen has all major appliances and assorted small ones. It is fully supplied for preparing full-course meals.
*Private entrance is off a ground floor mudroom accessed directly from outside. The bedroom features a very comfy queen bed and the living and dining areas can hold two twin air mattresses for the kids. Both the LR and BR can hold the full-sized crib. Please note that dining table only seats two, but TV tables and a high chair are available. Note that adding additional portable beds significantly reduces the floor space! Some families have opted for their kids to sleep on the couch and love seat in sleep sacks we provide. Also available: a portable crib, high chair, baby monitor (think "hot tub" use), stroller, baby backpack and toys are available.
*The front yard has a play set, bocce court, horseshoes, charcoal grill, and dining set. Guests may use these facilities without any notice to us.
*Backyard has a three-level deck, swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrella table for four or more, hammock, gas grill, picnic table, outdoor living room, and a screen porch with hot tub. We'd like to preserve your privacy so please let us know when you plan to use these amenities.
* On the north side is a fire pit with seating, and a hammock further up in the woods. If you are uncertain how to light a successful fire, don't hesitate to ask. Written assistance is also located in the ammo box located in the wood bin.
*We have our own private "daily" deck and a top-floor deck so you may never see us! All outdoor spaces are accessible to our guests, with the exception of the aforementioned private decks only accessible from our house..
*Prior notification is requested for use of the hot tub and gas grill; and pool whenever you expect to spend a significant part of the day in and around it. When in doubt -- ask!
*Fee for an approved dog is $15 per dog per night. Please request a copy of and agree to the doggie rules; and tell us something about your pet.
*Our neighbor's construction of the 6' chain-link fence has dramatically reduced any "foreign" animal visits (as have our dogs) we still have deer, a rafter of turkeys (including two huge toms in the spring), an abnormally large and jaunty red fox, a pack of coyotes, a rarely-seen bobcat, and birds of every feather, including woodpeckers, owls, and vultures. Oh, and squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits! So, please don't let your little dogs out unleashed very early in the morning or into the evening.
*2024 update: Black bear have been seen routing through garbage cans at the southern end of the greenspace/river that we face., but no people encounters. Black bears are generally non-agressive and will most often leave an encounter with a human, if possible. Do NOT run away!

We really felt like we were secluded from the word but for the view. This place was relaxing, clean and close to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy to find! Lots to do right there too.
Gabe was very communicative and we just loved the dogs. Very friendly.

Wonderful stay with Gabe and Pat. Beautiful location with comfortable accommodations. The trail by the house leads to a beautiful river spot. Great for a picnic. Our daughter was graduating from Yale and this location had easy access to New Haven. Great nearby hiking, shopping and restaurants. Pat and Gabe checked on us often and were easy to contact. Definitely recommend and will book again for future trips

My husband and I wanted a place that was comfortable and close to our son who lives in CT. The location was perfect and access to stores and restaurants was nearby. We felt ver much ch at home there. Would definitely stay again

Our stay was great! They place was well suited for a family visit. We loved the pool and privacy. The hosts were away while we stayed, but they communicated with us ahead of time and we had everything we needed. There was a small/cosmetic maintenance issue that required repair during our stay, but the handyman was poilte and unintrusive. My kids loved the pool, and I couldn't imagine a better place for a family getaway in CT!

VRBO list this apartment as TWO bedrooms. This is NOT TRUE! It is one bedroom with a small living room with a couch or blow up bed. The narrative description says one bedroom. The VRBO description needs to accurately reflect the apartment.
We were scheduled to stay almost two weeks. There was only one dishtowel and insufficient toilet paper. We were asked to skim leaves off surface of pool. We did this but from the start there was debris at the bottom of the pool.
Beautiful neighborhood but unable to walk given dogs that were not leashed.

I travel for work & fun.This place is incredible!!! Oasis!
Pat and Gabe are the warmest most thoughtful people. Their dogs, Nate & Molly, are the most well behaved sweetest dogs. So comfortable, clean, stunning views, best pool, great grill, hot tub, a playground! Everything so close: hiking, beach, shopping, fishing, all types of great restaurants. We did it all! Just a perfect place!
Tips n tricks:
- another person suggested bringing your own pillows. Agreed! Especially if you prefer fancy neck pillows or need a certain type of softness/firmness.
- The most gorgeously wooded spot with Instagram worthy views. BUT bring bug spray if you are like my husband who is easily chewed up by mosquitos. (summer only)
- Kitchen pantry: Read the listing and house manual. Reminder: most owners don't stock but occasionally you get ones that do. This is not that. Anything like cling wrap, tin foil, plastic bags, oils, spices, sugar, sheet pans...bring your own or grab at the nearby dollar store.
- The apartment is set to 76 degrees. You have your own air conditioning which cools down but it defaults back to 76. So if you are going on a weekend like ours which was 100 degrees, and you like your temperature cooler (especially for sleeping) bring a fan or grab one at the local Walmart for $20.
Going back in the fall! Can't wait already.

Gabe and Pat were very helpful and accommodating and their dogs were adorable! The pool was perfect and private and had beautiful views!

Gorgeous property with an amazing view & fantastic pool. We really enjoyed our stay and would return to this property for another summer stay.
One thing I would mention to future guests: bring your own pillows. For such a great location and space, the pillows are a little sad and need a fresh update.

Very private, adjacent to parkland, vista views, ideal for nature lovers, would love to come back.

This is our 2nd time of staying at this house. The hosts are wonderful, Gabe and Pat. Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. A lot of things to do. Within 5 minutes to restaurants and grocery stores.

I loved this house as it was just the quiet getaway I was looking for. I was traveling with my dog and he couldn’t get enough of playing with Molly and Nate. Hoping to come back when its warmer to take full advantage of the amenities.

Me and my daughter enjoyed so much to stay there. The trees and birds remind us our country house in Puerto Rico.
4.8
Excellent. Beautiful location, awesome view with panoramic sunsets. Very clean, neat, easy access from outside, great shower and kitchen. Great Samsung TV with easy hookup to computer and internet. Pat and Gab were wonderful hosts, making the stay very comfortable. Very easy access to stores, shops and resturants. Pools is huge, looked at least 20 by 40, clean and well maintianed. Apartment is smaller than the pics but no big deal. Living room is large with couches and tables. Great place if you have a pet with lots of room outside and safe for pet to play. Their dog Molly is so sweet and friendly. Over all I give it a 10.. Well worth the price..

Great find in the town we use to live. Hosts were very nice. If not from the area gave u a whole list of things to do. Place was roomy, clean and nicely decorated. Was too warm for hot tub but enjoyed the use of the pool. Quiet with woods around house and beautiful view from pool deck. We would definitely go back.

Inaccurate description
I’ve booked many VRBOs in the past, this was the worst customer service experience.
We booked a 2 night stay at this place for my family (we have two little girls 6 and 2). The owner has a large dog that roams/lives on the property, this was not part of description, I wouldn’t have booked this place since my girls and I are terrified of big dogs. The owner says “you’ll never see us” that’s a lie, as soon as we arrived, they were at the door with their dog trying to talk to us about the property (which was nice, but also it was 8pm at night and we’re trying to unload our car with two kids- read the room). Also they were very insistent in having us meet the large dog, even when we said “no thanks.”
They admit the dog likes to jump on people, which is not ok especially for our little girls. My husband tried to get my girls to get comfortable with the dog, since we were going to share spaces, but they wouldn’t have it, they were scared.
When we asked if we could keep the dog away from the pool, the answer was basically no and they asked us to leave. The owner told me I should have asked if they had a dog and that I should have known from when they say in their description “Dog-friendly”. Currently fighting to get my money back from VRBO.
Place is clean and nice from the couple of hours we spent there. Would NEVER recommend this place to a friend or family.

I love decks, porches, pools, Jacuzzi's and scenery!! That's exactly what I got. It was perfect timing to get some Fall foliage on my stay. The owner's were very nice, easy to get a hold of for any questions or requests. I'd like to experience this property in the summer with the pool open. Pool looks amazinggggg!!! Molly is ADORABLE!! The puppy.

Pat and Gabe are an amazing couple with a gorgeous home. The surrounding area has amazing food and entertainment options. FYI: there is a hiking trail on the property!

A nice relaxing time. Just what we needed and close to home. We are very busy people... we've been needing to just get away to unwind. I knew If we stayed home ... we would NOT relax or slow down. We needed somewhere that wasn't a 8 or 10 hour drive. Pat and Gabes place was a cute cozy little place. Close to everything you could need.... but up the mountain at the end of the road and very private. We felt like we were in our little own mountain retreat. Hot tub, fire pit, charcoal grill... and a prepackaged smores kit (nice treat). (If it was summer.....The pool was lovely!) And, we could bring our fur baby! Did a little hiking & lots of resting out doors by the fire. The apt is clean and very comfortable. We've stay a lot of places on vacation and this place had the nicest mattress... very close to ours at home. We always bring our own orthopedic pillows with us and we slept like babies. Only thing we missed were our ceiling fans. We like air moving when we sleep. (Maybe put a small floor fan in closet for others who are used to them?) Kitchen was nicely stocked..... not like home (I'm a very good cook and we eat in mostly on vacation)... but kitchen nicely set up. Usually I have to bring my own good knives.... but this place has decent knives which is rare! Lol. If we plan to go to CT again, this place is definitely on our list. There was more to see and do close... but we honestly needed a few days away from the grind.... and this fit the bill.

We came home to a family emergency and therefore it took me this long to write this review but now that things have somewhat calmed down here it is..... Pat and Gabe were wonderful to work with. We were in Connecticut for a wedding and while there for our yearly anniversary trip. With some updates regarding the wedding we were going to need to arrive earlier than the time stated for check in. Also we had some unexpected expenses which conflicted with our last payment due for our stay. I reached out to Pat who worked very closely with us to allow for a smooth process. She facilitated this for us and made this whole trip very pleasant for my husband and I. Pat and Gabe were very generous and accommodating which was great and made for a pleasant experience. Their house is absolutely beautiful and the pictures definitely do not do It justice. You have to be there to experience it. The unit we stayed in was very cozy and well kept. Unfortunately, we were tight on check out time as I always leave the space as clean as possible and we were not able to write about our stay in their guestbook which was a bummer but possibly an excuse to go back : )
