    The property and house were prefect for a group gate-away! The house was clean, comfortable, well decorated and well maintained. The tavern and outdoor area was a bonus. The host was very responsive and made the check-in and check-out process easy!

    Dale was an amazing host! Kind, caring, and communicative. The house was even more beautiful in person than in the photos, both inside and out. The tavern was also the perfect place to relax and chill in. The house had plenty of space, great bathrooms, and a cute den to enjoy your morning coffee & breakfast. My friends and I had the best time! Would highly recommend, 10/10

    From the moment we began speaking with Dale, we knew we were in for an amazing experience! Dale was friendly, communicative when needed, and we LOVED learning the history of the amazing home we were staying in. We booked the Granite House for our wedding weekend for us and the wedding party to stay in, and it was perfect. The fire pit was amazing for the cool nights too! On the wedding day, the gentlemen got ready and took photos in the tavern and the ladies made full use of the house. The bridal suite in the primary bedroom was perfect for me to hang my dress when we arrived on Wednesday and keep it hidden until the wedding day on Saturday. We just really can’t recommend this property enough. It was far beyond our hopes and absolutely MADE our wedding weekend complete!

    This place is amazing! My husband and I were recently married at Eolia Mansion at Harkness Park. The property owner, Dale, is very responsive. We had everything we needed to host some friends and family. The tavern in the back is great for entertaining. Plenty of parking. Easy check-in/out. Highly recommend!

    The Granite House was the perfect addition to our wedding weekend! Dale was an amazing host who was responsive and beyond helpful. We were able to host an intimate rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding at the Branford House. The bride and her bridal party spent the night here and spent the next day getting ready in the beautiful sun porch which look’s incredible in our pictures. We are looking forward to renting the Granite House for years to come, it’s now apart of our story!

    We got married over at the Eoikia Mansion, stayed here with our bridal party. We were extremely happy with the Granite House! The house had plenty of room for the party and we were able to get ready at there before the big day. The patio is also beautiful, and a great spot for breakfast and coffee!

    Comfort & Classic style home. Perfect complement to our wedding at Harkness. Tavern , firepit & patio was the ideal relaxed gathering center for conversation and photos. Will definitely consider for future events.

    Our family stayed at the Granite House when celebrating a wedding at nearby Eolia Mansion. This historic home is spotless, elegantly decorated, and meticulously updated. The house and grounds are spacious and welcoming for additional friends to gather. Dale was quick to respond to any questions we had. We are so happy we chose the Granite House!

    Beautiful property! Historic house with gorgeous grounds. There was a tavern on property with a beautiful patio. Large bedrooms and rooms throughout. We had an amazing time! Great for a large family/group getaway. Little attic on third floor was great for kids!
