New Preston Charm + Warm Welcome =Christmas Unforgettable Stay
This charming 2-bedroom New Preston apartment was the perfect escape! Cozy rooms welcomed us with peace and comfort, melting away city stress. Host Melanie's warm smile and delicious homemade cookies added a personal touch that made our stay truly heartwarming. Reconnecting with nature was easy - breathtaking scenery, quiet streets, and a nearby lake offered peaceful beauty. This wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience we'll treasure. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P.S. too bad I forgot Ask Melanie for the cookie recipe, were delicious!

Perfect place to relax and recharge!
The Artist Annex was just what I was looking for: a perfect little getaway to recharge my batteries for a few days. Melanie and Gary (as well as their adorable dogs) were gracious and accommodating hosts, and the space was bright and airy with a perfect deck for coffee in the a.m. and wine in the evening (chipmunk visitors aplenty)! The complimentary bottle of wine and delish chocolate chip cookies were a perfect touch! Great places nearby for hiking, and plenty of sights to explore. Definitely check out The Smithy Cafe at 9 Main, The Owl Wine Bar and White Horse Pub. All of the locals I met along the way were so friendly and New Preston itself was quaint and picturesque. Would come back in a heartbeat!

A perfect 5-star VRBO retreat
Loved our stay at Chagall's retreat. We were in town over Memorial Day weekend for a friend's birthday and luckily found Melanie's guesthouse nearby. Convenient location, walking distance to the lake, beautiful surroundings, extremely comfortable and very clean and quiet. Loved the adjacent patio surrounded by nature. Easy access and parking. The home-made cookies were an unexpected bonus. Melanie was welcoming and friendly, and had great recommendations for restaurants etc. 100% would stay again next time in the area!

Delightful!
A charming apartment close to Lake Waramug and the tiny village of New Preston. The space is light and airy. From the piles of sumptuous towels to the fabulous homemade cookies it's perfect spot for a long weekend (or more), The kitchen is small but quite serviceable. there is no living room per se but there is a lovely deck which was even better. Melanie could not have been a more warm and gracious host. We hope to be back.

Nice get away spot
My wife, two children and I stayed for a long weekend. It was great! It was minutes from the town boat launch and we had blast boating on the lake. We also went to Kent falls, it was about a 15 minute drive. The area is so quiet and peaceful. We will be going back soon! James
