Secluded, peaceful, beautiful
Everything I could have needed was provided. The owner thought of everything. The property was beautifully decorated, I could easily and happily stayed much longer or moved in! I highly recommend this property and it's sweet owners again and again. It was also close to the University of Hartford where I was attending a program.

A special in the woods
After a long flight from Los Angeles, we were greeted by the owners and led to their nicely renovated basement. We felt quite like we were in a retreat surrounded by woods. Our goal was to destress and adjust to ET before heading to a family reunion. The solitude, silence and being surrounded with the beauty of God’s beautiful creation was perfect.

(better than) As Advertised
I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful apartment for two weeks during July 2022. The space is neat, clean, and well appointed. I was traveling solo during my stay, but there is PLENTY of space for two people. The wooded setting in a quiet neighborhood was a huge plus for me. The location is convenient to Bradley Airport and much of the greater Hartford area. I enjoyed outdoor recreation opportunities in the immediate area, which are plentiful. You would be hard-pressed to find better hosts. I highly recommend this lovely place and hope to stay there again myself in the future.

Comfortable, convenient and private
Lovely setting for a fall weekend away. The property is a treat- spacious living and sleeping spaces. Bonus is the setting of the house surrounded by trees - and still minutes away from the area's amenities and attractions.

Brad & Susan are terrific Hosts
My wife and I have been hoping to find a Beautiful and Comfortable cottage when we visit Hartford.Wow we found it! The Room feels like a spacious loft, more than enough space and comfort. Beautifully taken care of and in a wooded area that is attached to home yet feels like it's a separate cottage. Brad & Susan make you feel like your family, good people that want your experience to be a delight. This will be our main rental when were in town.

The perfect place to stay
We stayed over Thanksgiving and this was our second time there. Everything about the space is perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. Access to the unit is easy. The space itself has everything you need and is wonderfully laid out. It's also huge -- so the bedroom (with bathroom) are on one end (with doors) and the other end has the living room with fireplace, big TV and a comfy couch. In between is are a large entryway, dining room table, and mini-kitchen with refrigerator/freezer and microwave. A few minutes away is a great bagel place to grab something in the morning and come back and relax. Overall, it is incredibly neat, clean, and has a terrific look and feel. Brad and his wife are wonderful hosts. The communication is great and they make you feel at home. Lastly, the overall location is perfect -- it's in between Simsbury and Bloomfield centers so lots of options for eating and groceries. I can't recommend this place enough.

Perfect Fall Weekend
What a great weekend away- made perfect by staying in this spacious, yet cozy, well equipped self contained apartment. The apartment was even better than the pictures, with super friendly hosts (who even said hi and gave suggestions whilst being socially distant). Everything you will need is here, including a great little guide of some suggested outdoor escapes. We enjoyed the gas fireplace, and a gorgeous view of the forest from every window. Highly reccomend, and have already started to think about our next visiti.

A perfect New England retreat!
The property was simply beautiful. So impeccably decorated, comfortable and spacious. They also had so many welcoming touches... coffee, snacks, a local activities /restaurant directory, bath items etc. The Farmington Bike trail was so beautiful and easily accessible. We also enjoyed a round of golf and would have played again at one of the other many options had we had More time. We would fully recommend this property. We will come again!

Weekend Getaway
This property is exactly as advertised in photos with the addition of a pool table. Very cozy and clean. Brad and Susan were wonderful hosts and provided all the essentials needed for our stay, along with great communication prior to our trip. Perfect location; quiet neighborhood with surrounding parks/trails approximately 5 mins away, for the kayakers - Farmington River is also closely located, 15min drive and a variety of restaurants to choose from also a 15min drive in West Hartford. Awesome weekend getaway, highly recommend!
