Wedding Weekend
Very unique house and a little quirky. My husband and I rented this house along with my daughter and son-in-law as it was very close to a wedding we were to attend. The location is walking distance to the small cute downtown area that has a number of very good places to eat. When I rented the house I did not understand that the lower level is only connected to the upper level by stairs outside the house, but the weather was nice so it wasn’t an issue for us. The upper level was small but clean, however, the lower level did have a lot of spiderwebs. We really enjoyed sitting on the outside patio and listening to the small waterfall and soaking in the beautiful greenery.

Cozy, unique building in a beautiful location
This house is great - very quaint and cozy and perfect for a relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. Sitting on the deck listening to the waterfall was a great way to begin and end our days. There are restaurants, shops, and a brewery all within walking distance. We'll definitely return!!

Magical Wedding Getaway
We were lucky enough to stay at this property and get ready for our small wedding. We took photos in the beautiful outdoor space and inside the perfectly unique house. It's a space that has to be experienced for yourself. So very grateful to have made our memories here. Can't recommend anywhere more romantic.

Fall get away
The house is so unique and wondeful. We took alot of pictures of the house, property and town you walk to. We loved this stop on our trip and stayed 3 days which was a little short for the area. The owner was responsive and had great communication. I would only change one thing, the couch is not comfortable. Everything else, way above average.

Property was perfect for our needs.. part of our family stayed upstairs while we stayed downstairs. Completely separate units, but we could meet for breakfast at the Villager every morning. The downstairs could use a dehumidifier as it tended to smell a little mildewed

Great Vacation!
Beautiful and relaxing place to stay! Great farmers' market on Sundays just down the hill. And we coincidentally stayed here while the nearby brewery held their 5th anniversary so there was a downtown block party! Super fun! Great little shops and restaurants within walking distance. Loved checking out all of the recycled materials used to create this home. Elderly parents stayed in the lower apartment since the stairs to the bedroom upstairs are steep (stone steps to the lower apartment were a little tricky for them to navigate but they did great!). My sister & I stayed in the upstairs apartment where the deck was great for us to all hang out and relax. We'll definitely be back! Host was very responsive and helpful! The Chester Historical Museum was a great find (just across the river; you can see it from the back yard) and we drove up to the Essex steam train & boat. The boat had a great narration. Also stopped at Gillette Castle!

Beautiful setting. Fussy doors.
Cute house meant for short stay. Cooking very limited. Setting is really special as is Chester. Found locking up difficult. And unlocking door to deck very difficult but had the feeling in Chester locked doors are basically not needed.

My best "HomeAway" vacation so far
This is a house with Character (yes, capital 'C') in a cool little town. Perfect if you are looking for change from a big city. It would work as romantic getaway, but is also great for families with kids. Mine 7 year old twins were constantly on lookout for lepercons, and scoutered the house for gold. To compliment the house there is the town with its tiny "downtown" literally one house away. Few quite good restaurants, tiny brewery, few shops, art gallery and even its own park, and you catch live music here and there. The town was actually mine favorite part of the trip. On practical side, the house is quite clean and comfortable. Note, if you plan to cook, there is no barbeque, and you should bring your own knives. Also, something to be aware of (and we missed it) is that the house is actually two separate houses with its own entry, little kitchen and bathroom, one sleeps 4 and another sleeps two.

A Unique & Relaxing "Get-away"
The Recycle House was a perfect little get-away for our family (4 adults). The house is so unique! You can tell that the renovation was a labor of love by the owner! The view from the deck is exactly like the picture! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waterfall for hours. The small town center is just a short walk away and had a couple of local eateries that were terrific - from a homey coffee/breakfast place to a gourmet restaurant.

Words can't describe the beauty and craftsmanship. Exceeded all expectations
Everything about the recycled house is amazing. From the view, to the town, to the house, EVERYTHING. The pictures don't do any justice to the awe of the property. My fiance and I are so extremely happy with our stay and will definitely be returning. It exceeded all of our expectations. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay for and additional 3 days. Everyone in the town is extremely friendly and really make you feel at home. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you so much Andre and Kim
