Better Late Than Never

I intended to write a review of the Tree House several months ago, but life got in the way. The Tree House was one of the best equipped and most thoughtfully stocked houses I have ever rented. And I rent at least once a year.
Having once lived in the general area where this house is located, I'm aware of the heavy traffic and congestion that can occur during the summer there.
The house is situated fairly close to the casinos, the Mystic Aquarium, Mystic Seaport Museum, and the numerous other points of interest. But it's also located outside of the heavily traveled areas which made getting around much easier than staying in town.
The house itself is quite charming, clean, and has a nice view of Lake Billings, which proved to be an excellent fishing spot. The neighborhood is very quiet and secure, and provided a safe haven for my grandchildren who came to visit for a day. I'm still a bit unsure as to whether they came to see me, or were more interested in fishing and swimming in the lake. But I'll take what I can get.
One last point, the owners were a joy to work with - very responsive and eager to please. I highly recommend the TreeHouse for those who want to see and experience what the area has to offer, while avoiding the disadvantages that can be encountered in areas with a high tourist draw.

This wonderful getaway was just what we needed for our Honeymoon. My wife and i love to travel around and this place was a great central location to explore the local seaports and little towns and shops nearby. The 'treehouse' is wonderful and so welcoming on the inside were you can relax and enjoy the view out from the decks. The owners are great to work with and are very helpful in making sure you are having a happy stay. i would definitely recommend this house to any couple that is looking for a scenic, adventurous, quite getaway. Loved our time here we will definitely try to come back again.

A wonderful experience

I wanted to take my wife to one last trip before our baby's arrival. We love to be down the shore line but I wanted something different this trip. When I read about the Tree House I thought this would be the perfect fit. I was planning this all on my own and was the first time I rented a place where you can bring your own food so I had many questions. All of my questions were answered with a quick and detailed response. The owner of the Tree House was always pleasant and very helpful were I began to feel like she was a long time family friend. She had provided a list of things to do and after reading the great reviews I decided to make my long weekend's itinerary off of her suggestions. Let me tell you the owner was on point! Everything was great. The best part was that some of the suggestions made were places that my wife and I never visited before. The Tree House was a little further than I expected to get to some of the great attractions of Connecticut, however the drive was very nice and worth it. The place itself was very nice and clean. Waking up in the morning and sitting out of the deck was amazing. We have already started to talk about when our next trip to the Tree House will be.

Tree House is wonderful

Just what we needed.

We left the city in hopes of having a relaxing weekend, seeing some starts, and enjoying some quiet time.

First off let me say the property owners are wonderful to work with, they have a great "welcome" package with directions to local places, great suggestions, and even some snacks.

The TreehouseCT provided everything: a full-fledged living space with all the amenities: television, computer, full kitchen (my wife and I like to cook for each other), ample seating spaces, a huge bedroom, games, DVDs...and did I mention there's a spacious deck! We sat outside and looked out over the lake (which we easily walked to and spent some time hiking around).

A quick trip into the smaller town provided nice country site seeing, a roadside creamery, and a great diner. A longer trip (15 minutes or so) got us into town for groceries and such).

Privacy, relaxation, and comfort is what we sought. And we got it all and more.

I would recommend this location to anyone looking to relax in a beautiful environment.
