Gilbert was an outstanding host! We loved the house- it was clean, cozy and everything was in excellent condition. Having all the drawers and lighting labeled was very helpful. We really appreciated all the drinks, snacks and extra items when we arrived. The backyard is huge and we loved sitting out on the deck at night. Our kids enjoyed the books and games in the basement. If we ever return to New England for another vacation, we will definitely stay here again!

Our family was here for our son and now daughter in laws wedding. We loved the house - perfect location close to the wedding venue , other family homes, and restaurants . Gilbert is the consummate host , polite , great communication , every amenity you could think of provided , balloons and congrats signs, and so clean. The topper were the cotton tail rabbits and woodchuck in the backyard ! Thank you Gilbert for a fantastic stay.

Very nice house. The place was immaculate and the snacks were great. And the grounds were so secure. Every place you walked in the back yard a light would come on for safe walking. The communication was excellent! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Very nice of the owner to decorate for my daughter’s wedding.

This property is exactly as listed. Bonus is a large beautiful private backyard with a lighted patio and seating (along with several very cute woodland visitors). This home is impeccably kept inside and out. It's fully stocked with everything you might need, including things you may have forgotten. It is a full home. It's like staying with family without the annoying family. The host has thought of absolutely everything you might need. It's centrally located in Middletown in a very nice neighborhood. An Aldi and CVS are within walking distance if needed. It's not far from the major highways, but still in a quiet neighborhood. We were easily able to visit attractions in 4 states within our few days here and come back to the property at night. The owner truly cares about the guests and this home. This is our first time using a vacation rental over a hotel and we might now be hooked. This property and the owner get 5 stars in every possible category.

Felt like home!

There is so much space in this house and yard that we could do things together or have our own place to be. The house is stocked with so much so anything we forgot, they had. We were able to cook every meal, enjoy a big pot of coffee every day, kids had hot cocoa, sit on the enclosed porch and read, eat on the back deck, play catch in the backyard, watch tv and retreat to our own bedrooms at night. It felt like our home. Everything is labeled so we were able to use things without fear we would break it trying to figure out how. The light switch labels were also helpful so we didn't have to guess which switch controlled which lights. There are also a few grocery stores really close to make a last minute stop easy. My daughter was especially excited about the airplane comforters! We have stayed at quite a few places and this may be the best one!

Great place to stay and wonderful host!

My colleague and I recently had a short two night stay here and we enjoyed it in every way. The house was spotless, perfectly organized and very comfortable. But what really made the trip was the very thoughtful and friendly host. He provided us with tons of useful information for the stay. Gilbert is a true professional and it shows!

Incredible

We came to the area for a long weekend event at Wesleyan University. I had never booked through VRBO and was not familiar with the process. From my first communication with Gilbert I felt like I was going to visit family. He was amazing to communicate with provided information about the area and the process and was super accommodating when he learned our flight was arriving early. From the moment we stepped through the door we knew our stay would be special. The home is beautiful, beds comfortable but the attention to detail was beyond what I had expected. We were delighted to have some nice treats and drinks in the refrigerator after a long flight. The owners thought of every detail had anything we could have imagined. I only wish I had meet them a few years ago when I began traveling to the area. I would have stayed with them every time. Gilbert thank you for making our stay extra special. Thank you for making us feel at home we really enjoyed your property and your hospitality and hope to see you again soon. If you have a chance to stay at this property take it because it was fantastic and convenient to the area.

Very nice home close to ski park

We came to stay at Gilbert’s for a quick ski weekend at Powder Ridge. Gilbert was incredibly gracious and accommodating. He was very easy to communicate with, and really went out of his way to make us feel at home. The location is a little loud at night/early morning, as it is very close to a main road. But the property itself was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, and very welcoming.
