Cottage Life

Everything you need, and nothing that you don't! We stayed in this adorable little cottage for a month while remodeling our home. John was an amazing host; incredibly thoughtful and communicative (as needed.) I only wish that we were staying longer, into the warmer weather. The views of the river, Goodspeed Opera House and airport are ideal; peaceful morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs, and cozy evenings by the firepit make this a perfect little home away from home! The cottage is clean and tidy, tastefully decorated, with a well equipped kitchen, and the comfiest, fluffiest bed. I hope to stay again, even if just for a weekend! I highly recommend for your getaway.

Perfect Getaway!

This property was awesome. Very cozy little house. Exceptionally clean and just enough for two people. The property is spotless and well kept. You could just feel the hospitality within the home. Our host John communicated very well. There is everything you need. The views of the CT River are beautiful. We had dinner at the Gelston House and saw a show at the Goodspeed which are just a 2 minute ride or 10 minute walk across the bridge. Great home for sure. Definitely five out of stars and more.

Cabin on the river-great location

We enjoyed our stay at the Haddam House. The location was perfect as we attended a family wedding at the Gelston House across the bridge. The outdoor area was great and we had fun sipping drinks and spotting seaplanes landing. The location was near to all we needed with a grocery store and restaurants just a short distance away. This made a great base to explore the area and we visited the Old Essex, took a ride on the steam train/river boat, toured Gillette Castle and made a trip to the Lavendar Pond Farm in Killingworth. Thanks to the friendly neighbors that we met on a walk for the recommendations and tanks to host John for the good communication and enjoyable stay.

Half Way Point

Haddam was the half-way point for my daughter who lives in Maine and we're from PA. The Haddam house was a perfect home away from home experience we needed to spend time together as a family. The bridge is under construction but other then that it was a great place and great stay. Thank you!
