Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
We're proud to have been designated AirBnb CT's New Host of the Year for 2021! Come visit our cozy 1st floor BR w/ HD TV, sound bar, WIFI, small desk & mini-fridge. A connected spa-like private bath features an oversized shower & claw foot soaking tub. It's an ideal retreat for writers, artists, & nature lovers. While kitchen and common areas of our home aren't shared, seasonal outdoor spaces are. We're known for our great morning coffee. Come stay with us and see! We welcome guests 21 and over.

The space
Spots for your enjoyment on our property include a covered front porch with rockers & second story back deck with dining table and umbrella. There are several stone sitting benches in lovingly maintained gardens where you can bird watch and catch other forms of wildlife that pass through. We're a five minute walk to a town maintained pond with great hiking/mountain biking trails!

Guest access
Guests enjoy a private parking spot adjacent to the road. There are a few steps to descend from that spot to our front door. If you need help with baggage or easier access, please let us know in advance of your stay!

During your stay
We love, love, love sharing our special place with guests!

We are a couple who mostly work from home with a young adult child who is more out and about than around. We welcome requests to make your accommodations as comfortable as possible and are here as guides to the surrounding area. We'll be sure to respect your needs for quiet and privacy and balance that with opportunities to say hello and share a friendly chat.

Little details are important to us. You will find fresh flowers, chocolate and good coffee/tea (on request) are a part of your Airbnb experience here. Seasonally, the gardens are spectacular! There are many spots on the property that have a sanctuary-like feel.

We look forward to meeting you!

Other things to note
We can provide an overnight charge for your electric car. We are also less than two miles from a local super-charging station.

Neighborhood highlights

While we are only a short drive to restaurants, shops and the center of town, our northern West Rock Ridge neighborhood makes you feel like you're on vacation in the woods. Our property is lovingly maintained: perennial gardens, a large fire pit and quiet spaces for sitting.

We are a 5 minute walk to a town-maintained small lake (fishing and kayaks/canoes permitted) and various hiking trails that connect to the larger Naugatuck State Forest, Sleeping Giant State Park and Lake Wintergreen State Park trail systems. Bring your mountain bike and/or your boots and enjoy the great outdoors!
