Family visit

We had a lovely stay in this adorable and comfortable studio while in town to visit family. It is beautifully decorated and has a lot of natural light. It is conveniently located on the Post Road close to everything but has a serene out in nature feeling to it. I loved stepping outside to see the beautiful scenes of deer grazing in the meadow behind the building.

Comfortable accommodations

We stayed a few nights while in the area to see a concert at Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater. Great location, very easy on/off 95, many restaurants and shops in the area too. The studio was comfortable and very clean, the bedding and towels were so nice and luxurious ! A great place to rest and recharge, lots of windows and skylights to bring the outside in. Gerard was great to work with and genuinely cared about our stay from beginning to end.
