Half Way Point
Haddam was the half-way point for my daughter who lives in Maine and we're from PA. The Haddam house was a perfect home away from home experience we needed to spend time together as a family. The bridge is under construction but other then that it was a great place and great stay. Thank you!

Great Hidden Gem!
I stayed here with my 2 sons, it was very cute, comfortable, well appointed, and had a wonderful little beach that the children loved playing on. We had a wonderful stay and the views on the river were amazing! Absolutely worth another visit. Thank you!

A cozy cabin.
A cozy cabin and a wonderful table to work from while enjoying the beautiful view. I hope to visit when the weather is warmer to make use of the outside area by the river. Great hosts and easy to communicate with.

Wonderful stay on Connecticut river
Completely remodeled 1 bedroom home with a pull out sofa. Perfect for 4 people. Beautiful front yard on the river with a firepit and an outside bar made out of a boat! If you are headed to this area and need a place to stay, this place is for you!

Great Weekend Stay
We stayed for Friday and Saturday taking time to explore the area; Mystic, Chester and Old Saybrook to name a few. Great area restaurants, take in a show at the Goodspeed or just sit by the water and relax. Unfortunately our weather did not cooperate, but the dock/bar/fire pit area are beautiful for a relaxing day by the water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!
