Comfortable place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. I really enjoyed walking down to the water and sitting in the Adirondack chairs watching the ducks swim by. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The owner responded very quickly to our inquiries. Would recommend.

Great location

This quaint cottage was a perfect home base for exploring the area. It was about 15-20 minutes from all the activities/areas we went to. We took advantage of the river access and kayaked from the public marina in Niantic back to the house - a very nice kayak trip. The cottage was clean and well stocked. The owners were easy to communicate with. This was a great first time to the area.
