- "This property was such a nice place to stay! Its right above a little romantic bookshop which is a little added bonus. It is within walking distance of several boutiques, delcious restaurants, and a local brewery. Multiple hiking spots within short driving distance. The owner was also very helpful and kind. Loved our little getaway! " - "Can't say enough about the whole experience with this problem. The owner was super nice, walked me through the entry process. Was very responsive when I had questions about the property and local items. The Little Chestnut in Chester is an excellent jumping off spot for a lot of activities around the lower Connecticut River area. The town of Chester has a really nice vibe and could spend all the time there. The Little Chestnut is set up for about 4 people. The beds were super comfortable, and had extra blankets for this cool nights. The heater worked great and kept the cabin very warm. The electric fireplace was also very warm and gave an awesome atmosphere without the hassle of an actual fireplace. Hot water heater was plenty big for 3 adults to take a shower and not run out of hot water. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking and eating utensils, however with so many great eating places we didn't do any cooking. When we stayed the little bookstore below was open and was a fun visit for the girls. If we could give more stars I certainly would. "

The area felt safe and small enough for our older teens to venture out on their own without worry. The air mattress was easily inflated to accommodate one of our two teens (they don’t like to share space). AC was a little too cool during the day but great in the evenings when sleeping.

Hosts were accessible and helpful. Lots of fun things to do. Very relaxing." - "We booked here to see a show at the Kate - which is literally next door. Our show was cancelled, but our trip to Old Saybrook was still a great success! I live on the north shore of Massachusetts and my best friend lives in Central Jersey. This is about halfway between us. The location of the apartment is great is you are seeing a show at the Kate, but also just to sightsee around Old Saybrook. We had dinner at Nori one night, which is downstairs from the apartment - amazing sushi. We had “dinner” the second night at Sip. A leisurely early evening of charcuterie from the most amazing cheese store, Fromage, and wine flights of interesting and really tasty wines. Main Street has cute little shops and places to eat. The apartment was spotless! It has everything you need in a home away from home. We really enjoyed the pergola patio area with twinkle lights and very comfy outdoor furniture.

About your host:
My family and I live downstairs in a SEPARATE apartment, so the likelihood of bumping into one another is fairly good. That being said, we will be as interactive as you wish. Chances are, if you’re here on the weekend, we’ll be outside gardening. Feel free to say hi and we’ll be happy to offer suggestions for things to do in the area. Maintaining your privacy and making sure you have a lovely stay are of the utmost importance.

One thing we do ask you to keep in mind is our apartments are separated by a locked door. Please keep the noise level down and absolutely no parties as we do work a regular 9-5 job. Thank you! :)

Other things to note...

Restaurants recs nearby:

If you’re looking for outdoor and on the water there’s Aqua- which is walking distance from my place, nothing fancy, but a town favorite for outdoor casual dining. Then, there’s Madison Beach Hotel which is definitely fancier, food is good and drinks are strong lol.

Our favorite Irish pub type place with really good food is Donahue’s. They do have an outdoor seating area, but that’s nothing special. We go there to sit at the bar, watch sports and get a great meal- NE clam chowder is bomb!

Madison has a lot of nicer options, like Bar Bouche- delicious French food, Comomango- yummy Mexican with a fun vibe.

Some great summer/seasonal spots are Lobster Landing- shoreline’s best lobster roll, also walking distance. And there’s Johnny Ad’s in Old Saybrook- known for their burgers and fried seafood- when you're done eating, pop over to Fenwick’s ice cream!

Lmk if you need anymore!

- "Stayed here to visit my daughter who just moved to CT. It’s in a great neighborhood and you can walk to the water. We did and ate at Lobster Landing- yum! Only about 30 minutes to New Haven too. Beautiful gardens, great front porch, comfy bed, and a quiet neighborhood that let us sleep so well . Host was so kind. Will look at staying again when we return to see my daughter.

It had everything that was needed to make me comfortable including an air conditioner and washer and dryer. It is a one bedroom but still spacious for company to visit. Loved that there were two decks, one in the front and one in the back. Lots of wildlife to enjoy watching. Looking forward to staying here again!"

- "We had a very comfortable stay. E we’re most impressed with how nicely every room was appointed. Very welcoming and enjoyable." - "The location of the property was perfect for our needs. Very easy to get around the area and to our son’s boarding school. Communication w/ owners was excellent. Quick responses and kept us up-to-date with issues. We were traveling with in-laws, who have mobility issues. Entering property was easy to maneuver with walkers. It’s a first-floor rental all on one level, one of our criteria for renting. Check in - super easy. Owners notified us that the stove was being replaced, which was completed before we got there. We were not using it, so we had no issue with that. We were also informed that the second bathroom was being grouted and it would need to cure before using. Upon arrival, we learned that it would not be completed that day. We were ok w/ it as long as it was finished the next day. Needless to say, it was not completed, so we had 1 bathroom for 4 adults. Other issue was that the area was experiencing an unusual heat wave for October. They had actually removed the AC window units a few days prior so we had no AC. We arrived to a 75 degree apartment. It never cooled that night as it was so warm and humid outside. They did respond quickly and directed us to fans. The next day wasn’t better as it was 74. Sleeping with 1st floor windows open was unnerving but necessary to get any airflow. As these issues were 2 of my criteria, it was disappointing. Owner very responsive and offered partial refund. Lovely ppl. Would rent again if issues fixed. Very charming place!!"
