Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Not what I was expecting. Inside seemed sort of nice but outside was unkempt. A room with private bath in someone's house, not what I would consider a ranch or bed and breakfast. I don't like last minute changes. Please post rules of house in the listing: Required photos of drivers licenses of all parties. Parking on the street. No shoes in the house. I guess for the price I should have known better. Didn't like the vibe. We decided to just leave immediately, find a better place, and lose our "non-refundable" payment.

Amazing bed and breakfast in a quiet suburb
This is a wonderful, affordable place to stay tucked away in a quiet suburb. Renee was absolutely incredible and made sure that we were taken care of. She was gracious and hospitable in an unparalleled fashion. The rooms themselves are well kept and quiet. I am used to having to pay far more for the incredible value I got from this place. Can't recommend them enough! Whenever I come back to Connecticut, THIS is the ONLY place I'll ever consider staying.

We called weeks ahead to cancel but they would not waive charge according to Expedia. So we did not stay at Jays Ranch but forgot to cancel also. Staff was very nice to call us next day to see why we didn’t show up and they knew about the refusal of credit denial. Staff felt bad because there had been a mix up on us being denied refund. So they wanted to give us a free stay or give us our money back. Because we chose not to stay I told them no need for refund because we forgot to cancel so was our fault. They were very kind to do all of this.
