Gracious Riverfront Home where the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound Meet

Quiet and beautiful location in a charming house. Country walks, watching birds, butterflies, bunnies. A short drive to the beach, farm stands, ice cream and library. The views were spectacular at any time of day!

Our stay in this lovely house was just wonderful! The perfect balance of a classic, old shore cottage with some nice updates and conveniences. The bedding was super comfy, the kitchen and living room were bright and airy, the view from the spacious deck was incredible, especially for sunset viewing. Morning coffee on the sunny patio, swims and kayaking off the dock, birdwatching and stargazing were just some of our daily activities. Between the main house and the darling guest house, we had plenty of space for our family of 4 and some rotating visitors. This place is truly a gem!

We had a fantastic stay. The house and property were beautiful and as advertised. We enjoyed watching sunsets over the CT river and Long Island sound. The owner and property manager were very responsive.

Awesome! Where do we begin… first and foremost we can’t thank the owners and caretaker (Jeff) enough for the amazing stay and opportunity to enjoy this incredibly beautiful, charming property, filled with tender loving care and warm, family atmosphere just like home. This well appointed, clean, spacious and conveniently located Old Lyme, CT home was perfect for celebrating our daughter’s graduation from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT and attending the many Academy graduation events (not more than 20-25 minute drive). The breathtaking views of the Connecticut River, Great Island Wildlife Area and sunsets were absolutely magnificent. The home and front yard overlooking the water was ideal for family celebrations, outdoor activities, and bon fires at the available fire pit, cookouts, and quiet strolls along the riverfront. This home was perfectly designed and built to create wonderful, lifelong family memories and its’ numerous pleasant and comfy accents will make any special occasion unforgettable. The home itself has a large, bright kitchen with plenty of counter space and it’s open, spacious floor plan with large dining room and table, outdoor patios and expansive, walk-out deck (equipped with awnings and patio furniture) are perfect for both outdoor and indoor entertaining. Even during inclement weather, we had plenty of space in the living room to set up extra tables allowing us to continue enjoying the awesome riverfront view and wildlife bird preserve full of amazing creatures, especially the resident Ospreys and Swans nesting nearby. Moreover, the detached, nearby guest house provided plenty of extra sleeping capacity and was perfect for younger family members to just hang out and chill. We highly recommend this property, especially to those who are seeking good old fashion family fun and relaxation, and most importantly lifelong, special memories. Thank you!
