Birdsong - Relaxation, Activities & Culture In Quaint Shoreline Town

Birdsong is aptly named. The property is in a lovely setting on wooded acres, and the birds are singing all around. The feel of the space is even more spacious than the photos suggest. The unit is stocked with almost anything you might want, and on arrival you will be greeted with coffee and breakfast supplies, plus a bottle of both red and white wine. The location is very convenient to Madison, Hammonasset State Park, all along the shoreline and even to New Haven. Kathleen and Dean are helpful, gracious hosts. It is altogether a perfect setting for a relaxing stay.A couple of things you might want to know when deciding if it is the perfect place for you:-the mattress is very firm- while the WiFi is sometimes perfectly adequate for emailing and internet searches, it can be spotty and sometimes is too slow to be helpful and occasionally drops out completely. This is likely not the fault of the owners; that area can be tough for internet access- the apartment is beautifully light due to all of the windows and skylights, but there are no blinds or curtains so in the summer it will be light at sunrise.

Excellent stay. Host was very accommodating and provided muffins, coffee, wine & flowers which added to our comfort. Stayed for 3 days since we attended a wedding at Camp Laurelwood it was a great location to the camp and to area restaurants in Madison and Clinton. Would definitely stay again since the accommodations were roomy & very relaxing in a beautiful setting.

A little gem in the woods.

My second time to stay at Birdsong . Convenient location and scenic landscape. Friendly hosts . We loved the changing of the leaves. Fall foliage was breaktaking .

Exceptional home and stay! Clean. Cozy. Relaxing. Peaceful. The best experience we've had, yet.

This place is gorgeous! There are beautiful views of trees out of every window, high ceilings, a comfortable bed, and all of the amenities you could want (including wine and muffins upon arrival). It is very clean. Hosts are very nice and showed me everything when I arrived. The high point is probably the little waterfall and koi pond that you walk past on the way to the place, and the hummingbirds that come to the feeder by the front window. There is a required 75 cleaning fee that is noted on the listing but not included in the VRBO total price. It must be paid by cash or check.

Terrific hosts that have a wonderful, well appointed place to relax and enjoy. The walkway to the font door is like walking through a forest that included a waterfall with a Koi pond. Anything we needed was available to us throughout Birdsong! Would definitely recommend!!!

Tucked away yet not far from town, Birdsong is a real gem. A path welcomes you from the parking area as it winds past a small waterfall & fish pond to a beautiful patio with table, umbrella & chairs. Once inside you'll find everything you need bathed in the ample natural light & under the cathedral ceilings. Kathleen & Dean are caring, generous hosts, also real gems.

Best VRBO ever!!

Beautiful and spotless. Birdsong is aptly named. The spot is perfect for aa couple. We enjoyed the well appointed set up. Our hosts were welcoming. We'd love to stay again, if the opportunity presents.

My stay at Birdsong was absolutely wonderful! Kathleen and Dean are amazing, thoughtful hosts, and have provided everything you need (and more) to make it truly feel like a home away from home. The property is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect place to take some time away and basque in the serenity that Birdsong has to offer. My only regret is that I didn't get to spend more time enjoying Birdsong because I was attending an event that kept me busy. I hope to visit again myself, and I have already recommended Birdsong to others. (Also, Connecticut is gorgeous in the Fall!)

Our hosts, Kathleen & Dean were warm and welcoming as were our accommodations, bright, clean and charming. After a day of exploring, we found ourselves looking forward to coming back to Birdsong. Thankyou for a wonderful memory.
