amazing house!

Maria and friends New York City
Review Submitted: February 26, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
We had a lovely weekend at this wonderful place in Sharon, CT. The house is beautiful, very well maintained and in a great location. The owner was communicative and helpful and wanted to make our stay the best possible experience. I would highly recommend this property to friends and can't wait to go back!
Owner's Response: We love sharing our beautiful house with people like Maria who fully appreciate how special it is. It has enjoyed many happy gatherings of family and friends, both ours and our welcome guests.

Great house

Edisto New York, NY
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family and I rented this house for a week during the Christmas season and had a great time. The house was ideal for a large (8 adults, three kids) family gathering with an ample kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Two working fireplaces made the home quite snug in the middle of winter. Overall, the house has a great old country house feel, which means tasteful decorations, comfortable furniture, a great library/study room but also that the appliances/plumbing are a little dated. My only complaint is that the wireless internet access is shared and the signal is fairly weak so connections not exactly high-speed - also limited cell-phone reception.
The surrounding area is quite beautiful and we took several walks around nearby farms. Great Barrington, Mass is a forty minute drive. We had a wonderful time and recommend the rental.
