The host had so many special touches to make this place a wonderful spot to stay. She had little snacks in the kitchen, with coffee and tea in the cupboard. There was half-and-half and the refrigerator, which we really appreciated. The towels in the bathroom were folded like you were in a special hotel. There was also lovely soap, shampoo and conditioner. Due to the cold temperature in the teens, she actually purchased some space heaters to make sure we were warm. Although there was a second bedroom on the third floor, we stayed in the very comfortable bedroom on the main floor. We are actually going back for three weeks this summer and look forward to our stay in Essex.

My daughters and I had a girls getaway weekend and stayed here overnight. The house was easy to find thanks to great directions. It was spotless inside and bed arrangements were perfect for three of us. It’s a great location with only a short drive to many of the areas small towns. We saw a show at the Goodspeed theater in East Haddam, had cocktails in Chester, and a lovely (expensive!) brunch at the Griswold Inn in Essex. All in all a perfect weekend.

My friends and I had Goodspeed Opera House tickets and stayed here for the night - it was perfect! Short drive to the theater. Neat and clean with everything you need. Would stay again!

We were visiting Essex for a murder mystery event at the train station. The house was only 5 minutes to the station and a perfect house for the 4 of us.

What a great place. Everything was spotless. The decor was modern and so attractive. Bridget, the owner, was so sweet and accommodating. The house was situated in the middle of beautiful quiet area. My son’s bedroom was upstairs and mine on the main floor. Plenty of privacy. So much sunlight. We really enjoyed our stay!

Bridget and Doug were great hosts. We had everything we needed and the apartment was spotless. The mattress was comfortable and there were plenty of towels. When we had a problem with the skylight in the bathroom they addressed it without complaint. Their property is in a great location. It's only a few minutes drive to Essex Village and the Connecticut River Museum, and 15 to 20 minutes from state forests and the coastal towns of Old Lyme and Old Saybrook.

My wife and I visited Essex to celebrate our anniversary. The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us; clean, inviting, and in a great location. Bridget left us a couple of cupcakes, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay with a fantastic view. Thank you!
