Gorge is super nice and accommodating. The house was very spacious and over looked the water. We also got to experience the navy play the national anthem every morning. You will need a car to drive to things as it’s not close to much . Overall nice stay.

Quick weekend stay with friends and family for the Christmas craft fair at Mohegan. Beautiful location on the Thames. Right next to the Naval base, but very quiet - except for the 8 a.m. Star Spangled Banner ( loved it!). Very comfy and roomy. Beds were fair. Loved the pool table. Wish the weather was a tad better to be able to hang out on the porch looking out at the river. If in the area, will definitely stay again!
