Peaceful farm area, on the reservoir, near vineyards

This simply cozy studio looks out upon a hay field visited daily by deer and other wildlife. We let nature take its course here, plants and wildlife run free. The covered patio is a perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the geese land in the reservoir. The kitchenette includes a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, tea kettle and coffee machine. This is an open area studio, there is not a separate bedroom. This 4+ acre hay-farm property is bordered on 2 sides by the reservoir. We are within walking distance (about a mile) to two vineyards, and just a few minutes drive to downtown restaurants, shops and Choate campus. The main house is about 25 feet from the studio. No-cost early check-in and late check-out is available much of the time, just ask. Please note, regardless of where you park (on our paved driveway or on the designated grassy area so you are closer to the studio) you will need to walk 40 or so feet across lawn to access the Studio).

Short stay
We had a very quick trip to the Wallingford, CT area. The price was right, the location was perfect and the property was very nice. Quiet, comfortable and relaxing (when we were there). We did see several deer roaming the open field and feeding off the trees. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. Added touches with snacks, teas, honey, etc. Easy communication with our host. Very nice experience.

Beautiful location, gracious host, clean & lovely studio!
This was a great location in a quiet area looking over the reservoir. We saw a few different kinds of birds and also deer, and the morning sunrise from bed was beautiful. The local wineries are a stones throw away and anything else you could want is a quick drive. The host's communication was perfect and the studio unit was immaculate and carefully thought out with everything you could need. The only tiny thing, and might be personal preference, was the water pressure in the shower was very slow. But wouldnt prevent me from staying here again and in fact I'm looking forward to hopefully staying there in the future on my many trips into CT. Thank you again!

Country get-away
This is a lovely property that looks just like the pictures at VRBO. Owners are also very nice and available as needed (although we did not need anything). The studio is impeccable and newly renovated. The bed is very comfortable and towels were top quality. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

Great place for a quick gateaway
As others noted it's a hidden gem that offers privacy and beautiful views of the lake yet has easy access to everything . The surrounding nature, the welcoming hosts, the cleanliness of the place and even snacks that were supplied by the hosts, all made it for a wonderful experience. Beth is a great host, is very responsive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests have everything they need. I highly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Beth! 😊

The perfect quiet retreat!
This was the perfect space for R and R- off the beaten path, but easy access to the interstate and larger cities. Absolutely beautiful spot near farmland and the reservoir, and I loved the flower gardens. The owners were kind and communicative. Very clean, comfortable studio that I'd highly recommend to anyone going to the area.

Our stay was great. Beautiful property that offers privacy and lots of nature. Nice outdoor patio. Lots of windows that I love. Perfect set up for 1 to 2 people. The bed was very comfortable. There was nothing that we needed. 10-15 minutes to get to store. Less then 10 minutes to Highway. Definitely would stay again.

A wonderful gem
We just returned from a fantastic long weekend away and would return in a heartbeat. From arrival we were completely impressed by the studio...the onsite pictures and description were an understatement. The studio was clean, organized and decorated to give a home away from home vibe. The owners did such a great job thinking of all the little amenities to make our stay so very welcoming. We will definitely return if traveling through the area again!

Cuuuuuute!!
We were in town for business, and wanted to try something other than a stuffy and impersonal hotel. When I found this listing I thought “how cute. Let’s give it a try”. Boy we were not disappointed! The hosts were pleasant and accommodating, and the house was adorable. I couldn’t get over the bedroom view, so relaxing and serene. We were close enough to shops and restaurants to make the location convenient, but not so close to be smack in the middle of town. We will definitely book again the next time we are going through the area.

Beautiful studio, breathtaking views, amazing hosts
We really enjoyed our stay here. The studio was very clean, private, and beautifully decorated, and stocked everything we needed- even yummy snacks! We went for our anniversary weekend getaway and Elizabeth and Ray put out beautiful flowers at our request and even gave us a surprise gift of chocolate truffles! The views from the studio were magnificent- it was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. The whole area is very beautiful and full of wildlife- we watched deer in the evening from the studio and we went to explore the nearby lake, vineyard, and orchards. We are Sabbath-observant and the hosts were very accommodating of that, they went out of their way to ensure all of our needs were met. We were also very impressed by the clear list left on the table describing where everything was in the studio, along with a clear, helpful list of recommendations for local attractions and eateries. We both were so happy with the accommodations, the hosts, and the natural surroundings. We would definitely stay here again!
