About this house rental

Welcome to Pleasant Valley Trails. A rustic Mid-Century home on scenic private property overlooking pond. The home was built from the wood and stone taken from the property. Next to state hiking trails, winery, and pick-your-own farm, we are within 30 minutes drive to Bridgeport, Fairfield, New Haven and the Connecticut Shoreline. Trails for hiking & snowshoeing are onsite. This is an ideal spot for relaxing and watching wildlife.


Pleasant Valley Trails has 42 acres of fields and forest with blazed trails that connect to other trails in the White Hills area of Shelton. The pond attracts wild life which may be seen from the house.

The front door (white) is accessed by key which will be provided by lock box. Feel free to park near the front door for easy access.

The rental unit is the original house. It was built in 1952 and has approximately 1200 square feet of living space. The house was added onto in the mid 1960's and that area is used by the owner when in Shelton for business.

The property sits enough off the main road that it feels secluded. A deer was standing outside one bedroom one morning! Surrounded by woods with a lake in back down a hill. The 1 Q and 2 T beds were fine for the needs of 3 senior citizens. We didn’t cook there, but there were lots of dishes & pans.We enjoyed our stay & would stay again if in the area.

This home is conveniently located for a wedding at The Waterview. I wanted a local home for a stay with my older parents and husband and this was perfect. We had events at Candlewood Lake as well as the wedding at The Waterview and this home was perfectly located. The home was clean and the setting is lovely. We had everything we needed. We couldn't beat the price and having a home is always much more convenient when traveling with my parents.

My husband and I go to a music festival about 20 minutes from this house. We enjoy the house almost as much as the festival. The house is charming and has a rich history. I feel like I’m visiting a house my Great grandparents built. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love all the windows and rock fireplace. The view of the pond is an added plus. This is our second year, attending the festival, and being at the house. We hope to make it a tradition. 5 Stars hands down. I’d give it more if I could!

Old fashioned quaint cabin with hand made shelving and cabinetry. Very quiet, set in the woods overlooking a beautiful piece of land & pond. Don’t go alone… a bit spooky, but very nice. The place was very clean, but could use some work or updating. If you enjoy nature & a beautiful peaceful setting, this place is great.

Home is located back from the road, very quiet. Lots of wildlife outside. Home was built in 1952, all hand made cabinets and lots of built ins. House was very clean. There had been a leak in the roof by the bathroom in the hallway that needs repair. Lots of space inside with a very large eat-in kitchen. Washer and dryer worked great. Easy access to Jones Family Farm and highway.

We came to Connecticut from California to look at colleges. I found this gem and couldn't resist its beautiful charm. The house is surrounded by beautiful tree-lined roads and a very serene view out the windows from the kitchen to the living area. There is a pond in which geese , turtles , and fish live. It was very comfortable and ideal if you appreciate nature and quiet surroundings. The only thing I would recommend is curtains in the living area. It truly was a memorable stay! The owner is very nice, easy to reach if needed. 👍👍🙌

The unit is in a nice area in the country but after I found a tick on me in February we didn't go out. The owners live in the attached unit next door, separated only by a wooden door so ALL the sound goes both ways. You can hear them put dishes away and talk--but rarely--they were super quiet most of the time. They never complained about us being noisy although my son kept later hours due to the time change and could occasionally be loud because of medical issues. The host was responsive and ordered a us a crock pot for our stay when I asked. She met us when we arrived and opened the lock box. Go slowly up the driveway as there is a drainage dip and bumps that cars might bottom out on if low to the ground. The curtains in the master bedroom aren't lined but seem to keep out most light except that they aren't wide enough to cover the windows. I rigged towels, pillows, and a chair to cover the remainder of the window. The kids/twin beds room is terrible though with only white unlined curtains around 2 sides of the room so my 13 year old son couldn't sleep well at all after the sun came up since it was so bright. He said the twin beds at first seemed comfortable but weren't. The queen was fine. Liked the wood floors but they do creak loudly and are uneven in places. You can't turn the WIFI off but can unplug the extender which decreases it. Sign into your own accounts for TV/movies--or maybe I just couldn't figure it out. Plenty of pots and pans and dishes. BYO bedside clocks.
