Guilford, Connecticut
TREETOPS is a 4850 square ft 5 bedroom Mid century Modern perched on an outcropping of granite cliffs, surrounded by 2 acres of beautiful forest. *Property not suitable for children under 8 years old. If you have younger children, however, we can discuss to see if our property is a good fit* Perfect for family reunions, work retreats, "rest and relax" retreats, and even small weddings! Spa services right in town, 5 minutes away. Stroll along the loop trail in our backyard woods, hike in acres of beautiful woods in "Westwoods" next door, visit the town beach, have s'mores by the natural stone fire pit, or relax and get some sun by the marine-blue, stone-decked pool area with flower garden! Birdwatching, breakfast, yoga, and evening cocktails are best on the spacious wrap-around deck. We have an incredible library, fireplaces, and even a baby grand piano.
The space
The inside of Treetops is just as spectacular, where classic and modern styles blend. Antiques are plentiful but so too are modern paintings, sculptures, and other unique art. Our love of indigenous cultures will be obvious, and we don't shy away from colors as well! Beautiful, lush plants give the house a welcoming, homey feel.
Treetops has vaulted ceilings, and an open and spacious floor plan. There is a great kitchen with new appliances, a two-person breakfast nook, and an oversized dining area and living room overlooking the oversized deck mentioned above. Perfect for social gatherings of all kinds! Plentiful windows and slider doors flood the house in sunlight and fresh breezes.
The large living room has a top-of-the-line stereo system, CDs, large Smart TV, impressive fieldstone fireplace, and extensive library. Grab a book and recline on the soft velvet sofa while listening to some classical music! From there, walk into the master bedroom with more windows and wooded views, TV with DVD player and huge selection of movies, walk-out deck, and walk-in closet. The tiled bathroom has two sinks, a jetted tub for easing sore muscles, and a great shower/showerhead, with some basic amenities available for your stay. Then walk into the "Blue" room, a bedroom with 2 twin beds overlooking the driveway with bureau, bedside table, and bookshelves. Guests in this room will share the master bathroom for bathing but can also use the half bathroom near the front entrance. A hallway then leads to the newly appointed den, with new TV, sofas, and a second beautiful fieldstone fireplace. There are games and coloring books available in the cabinet.
Across from the den and off the main entrance is the "Yellow" room. It too is newly renovated and has a Full bed, large built-in desk overlooking the pool, views galore, and a cozy reading nook that can also double as a second place to sleep.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, "The Queen", with a queen-size bed, and "The Twins" with -- you guessed it -- 2 twin beds. Both rooms have bureaus, bedside tables, one or two oversized windows, sound machines, fans, and their own full bathroom. You are really in the treetops up here! Enjoy your stay.
Other things to note
We are near some railroad tracks and a few times a day, mostly morning and evening, trains go by. You will definitely hear them if you are awake, but we have never been bothered by them when sleeping.

By far the most unique architecture that we have ever stayed in. Every room is an adventure from its shape to the stunning artifacts from around the world. A gorgeous setting that was perfect for relaxing. Everything is first class-five star. So memorable that we are coming back next year.
great stay!
This house is INCREDIBLE. The pictures do not do it justice. It's like staying in a perfectly curated museum. It's extremely comfortable and lovingly decorated. The space is so unique and inspiring. The decks are lovely for lounging. The pool is amazing. Six adults very comfortably shared the home and we had a great time! There's lots of hiking right by the property and the birdwatching is incredible at the house. Also Guilford is a very quaint and charming town with plenty of diversions and dining. It's the perfect place to unwind.
Don’t hesitate in staying here. You’ll have no regrets. It’s an absolutely beautiful & welcoming home in a breathtaking private setting. My family and I and especially our grandson enjoyed every minute here. Was a pleasure working with Dan. We hope to come back again!
First visit to Connecticut. Stayed for 4 nights with my adult children and my sisters family for family wedding. Loved everything about the house. Very eclectic with lots of outdoor space next to miles of trails and close to quaint town.
Upon our arrival Dan, our kind and gracious host, explained all of the amenities in this amazing home. The entire family had fun in the beautiful pool (especially lovely when it was lit up at night) and all areas of the house. We enjoyed the abundant art, music, and books that were provided. We all had plenty of personal space and comfortable beds. Guilford is a beautiful town and my family raved about the restaurants and stores. We hope to return to this home. It was ,by far, the best vacation home I have ever rented.
Stunned beyond belief!
A visually stunning home, inside and out. We found a book that the owner had written, so we were able to find out a lot about the house and the lives of the people who lived here... made it so personal for us. Truly, nothing has been overlooked, just amazing. the ONLY problem? We had to leave! But... we WILL be back! Dan welcomed us to our home and gave us the tour, and was available to answer a couple questions during our stay. Customer Service seems to be a lost art, and we appreciated his helpfulness!
Treetops is a beautiful property that was perfect for a girls weekend. Plenty of room and a lot of unique furnishings and art. Great outdoor space, including a gorgeous pool. Westwoods is in its backyard which offers spectacular hiking. Convenient to downtown.
We loved this property! In town for a wedding. Property was as listed in the description - plenty of room for all guests and super clean! Large kitchen plenty of areas to relax ( bird watching from the dining table was great!) The pool was wonderful too! Neat layout with multi levels. Only draw back was all of the stairs - we had some older guests in our party (in their late 70’s) that had trouble with the stairs but a younger crowd would not have a problem.
The property is beautiful, comfortable and very private. Property manager was responsive and helpful. 5 stars.
beautiful property,inside and out ! Dan was amazing .This home had everything needed ,just unpack and enjoy ! Seeing the deer and all the amazing birds was fabulous !My family and I had the best reunion we could've hoped for ! Would definitely stay here again !
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Lovely home, well appointed. Gracious host and responsive manager, Dan. Easy access to local attractions and adjacent to extensive hiking trails. Well worth the visit.
Dan was a great and helpful host! The house was absolutely gorgeous and very tastefully decorated. The pool was very nice although we only used it for an hour. The wooded location was very tranquil and relaxing. There were plenty of birds to see. Full kitchen and laundry was very helpful as we ate most dinners by candlelight, only because we preferred it. Though we didn’t use fireplaces, it was available to utilize while there. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
Lovely house in beautiful spot. Dan was very helpful and responsive. Will definitely stay here again.
