About this property

John Hollister home on the farm

It's rare to find a place that's both historic and one-of-a-kind. This is the oldest house in Glastonbury (built by John Hollister in 1675) & 1 of the oldest houses in CT. Our quaint home is located on our working farm that’s been in business for over 130 years - Killam & Bassette Farmstead. Take in a scenic stroll around the fields all the way to the CT River. Perfect for a bachelorette weekend, a large family vacation, or just a quiet getaway. Relax & enjoy!

Perfect home for family gathering
Everything was perfect from initial communication to check out. House is comfortable, well appointed, and even had fresh eggs and jam from the farm. We gathered for a memorial gathering for our mother who passed away and it was the perfect venue to eat, look at old pictures, and visit. Chris and her husband are delightful and welcoming. Highly recommend even in winter!

The owners really thought of everything. Cozy and private with nice little touches around the house that really makes you feel welcome. Polite and friendly correspondence with the owner, who gave quick replies to any questions we had! Would stay again!

Great S Glastonbury spot
Absolutely loved this property. Tyron street may be one of the most beautiful streets in America, old farm houses, river ferry, tobacco field and roaring brook leading into Cotton Hollow preserve. My family of five loved the old farm experience! Great restuarunts and coffee were right down the street which was all walkable! We will be back

Country living
Staying at a real farm, super comfortable and completely authentic has been a special treat. We walked the farm, ate local produce from their farm stand and enjoyed the atmosphere. We loved it!
