The Getaway: Beautiful Waterfront - New Milford CT

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 83 reviews1 week ago

Absolutely Magical Stay! I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. The highlight, hands down, was the serene lake right in the backyard—waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee with that view felt like a dream. We especially loved the complimentary kayaks! Paddling around the lake during sunset was pure magic—calm waters, golden skies, and total tranquility. It felt like our own private retreat away from the world. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and super cozy. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a relaxing solo getaway, or a fun adventure with friends, this place is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Salty Kisses. The home is very comfortable and extremely well appointed. We enjoyed the proximity to the ocean as well as the ability to relax in the yard on the hammock or by the fire pit. Denise was very responsive to all communications and gave us lots of information about the area. Thank you for being such a great hostess!

Lakeview Estate - Chef's Kitchen - NYC Getaway

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 94 reviews1 month ago

The place is amazing and beautiful, just needs a little attention and TLC our group truly enjoyed themselves. This place could have easily been a 5 through and through but needs a little attention. Pros: spacious, clean, plenty of sleeping room. Twin mattresses were amazing. Beds comfy, so I heard. Stove was fabulous. Views were gorgeous. Plenty of seating, cool movie room, quier reading space if no one is watching movies. Also note there is one shared bathroom upstairs for both bedrooms and master has its own. The other is downstairs, but is a full bathroom. Cons: For a chefs kitchen there were no mixing bowls and kitchen was a bit disorganized. Carpet under table needs to be replaced or cleaned. Dryer door was broken we had to jerry rig with a broom. Lights were difficult to understand, could never figure out our bedroom lights in the twin room and had difficulty in the movie room, controls are behind the pics. A couple days with of maintenance and will be 5⭐

This house is absolutely perfect. It's clean, charming, has everything you need. The beautiful back yard has plenty of space and good stuff for kids to play with. Also, it's about a 30 second walk to the beach... neighbors are out on their patch of beach but yours is yours to yourself. It's perfect. We cannot wait to come back.

Seaside Cottage: water views, walk to beaches!

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviews1 week ago

Ken is hands down the best host I’ve ever had. He not only genuinely cares about the property but also the people who stay there. We booked on very short notice due to a family emergency and he wasted no time getting that place together for us. We stayed for almost a full 2 weeks and every day Ken just does a good morning text making sure everything is good! Very consistent and considerate host! The location is nice, it’s sits across the road from the LI sound but you’re able to still see the water from the front porch. My morning runs were filled with dog walkers, other runners and some very impressive homes and beautiful ocean side runs. The back yard is perfect for a family BBQ after a beach day. He has so many different toiletries and amenities at the house where you can almost come with nothing but clothes and be perfectly fine. I rate the host and the property 5stars because that’s the experience I guarantee you’ll have as well.

Easily the best host I’ve came across, and I’ve rented many air bnbs in my life. House was immaculate. Brittany was accommodating, so easy to communicate with. My wife and I spent the weekend renting both of her properties hosting our bridal parties. She dropped offf two bottles of champagne for us. Couldn’t be more thankful. Great host!
