Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Essex

The natural setting surrounding the house is lovely and private. The house itself was spotlessly clean and very well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen tools and supplies. The beds are very comfortable and it's quiet for sleeping. We spent most of our time in the all-glass kitchen, which despite so-so weather felt like we were outside when inside - really special room. Chris was very easy to reach and communicative for anything we needed. We enjoyed a wonderful extended family weekend and would stay again!

Great place to stay clean and close to the event we went to… they were helpful and allowed us to stay 1 hr longer for our convenience… there was only one TV in the house so if you have kids make sure they have their tablets or they will control the one TV other than that it was enough space for us…. Thanks

This home is beautiful and so spacious! Proximity to East Hampton and Springs, yet very private and peaceful. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Maria's place is gorgeous, just as described. It is located in a tranquil neighborhood and right next to the lake, just 10 to 15-minute drive from the Main St of East Hampton / Sag Harbor. They have an outdoor grill and kayaks on site which is perfect for a group of friends. My friends and I had a blast there and I would recommend it !

The unique home was a truly amazing experience. The grandchildren loved the yard. The porch was a peaceful gathering place or a serene place to just think or write or just sit and enjoy. A short drive brings many things to do or see. The piano was amazing. The artwork and history contained in those walls was a bonus gift.

Carol was the perfect host and her house was perfect for our extended family of 10, and dog. We never felt cramped, and no one complained the whole tine That’s amazing given there were 10 of us. Thanks Carol, I bet we will be back!

Absolutely pristine, it offered a perfect blend of comfort and beauty. It is clear that the property is meticulously maintained, spotless, elegant, and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, and every amenity was provided. The best part is the area! WOW. We walked into Mystic at least twice a day and had lovely morning strolls along the water. The back deck is perfect for coffee and pm cocktails. I highly recommend it. We'll be back.

We stayed here in the entire home for a wedding weekend. Both units were fabulous and Cole was very responsive when we had an issue with the key pad. The bride

Great location. Right next to cherry blossoms and the famous pizza spots. Comfy beds

A very nice place to relax. My reason was because of work in the area. But I was delighted with the place. 100% recommended.

Very hospitable and friendly. The place was cozy and inviting.. Definitely would stay again.

The place was just as described and very clean. It is a basement unit apartment so if you have issues with stairs this would be a bit of a challenge. Overall it was a wonderful and served me well!

Paris is a wonderful host. His property and cottage is a perfect retreat for two. Charming accommodations with a beautiful view and an easy walk to town. We’ll be back soon! Angelo C.

Loved everything about this place! Felt luxurious and comfortable. Beautiful space created, I played scrabble near the fire and poked through some fun books. Perfect for a quiet weekend in or just a comfortable place to lay after running around all day. Host was very efficient and friendly. Would recommend!

Our Christmas stay at Janice’s was perfect! My partner and I needed a place to stay while visiting family for holidays. The suite was very clean and cozy. We really enjoyed the not one but TWO gas fireplaces! Janice also had a small artificial Christmas tree in the living room which made it so festive and the perfect place for us to rest and watch Christmas movies after days with family. The bed was comfortable and had four pillows with extras in the closet along with extra blankets, an iron and board. Janice was flexible with our check in time and very friendly. The only negative we could think of was that we’d love to have a full kitchen and the suite just has a kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave and toaster oven, but we knew that from the description and it was fine for a short stay. We’d love to stay here again. Really perfect for this trip.

My wife and I absolutely loved this cottage. It far exceeded our expectations. I felt so much at home, I almost went out and picked up the mail!There were so many supplies in the kitchen, a thoughtfully laid out living room and bedroom, a heavenly soaking tub in the bathroom, and serene surroundings. Everything was thought of from tasteful decor to plenty of firewood for the wood-burning fireplace and even an unopened toothbrush and other toiletries in the bathroom (including 2-ply!! ) It raised my standard for future rentals. We are lucky enough to travel several times a year. When we do, we almost exclusively stay at Airbnb‘s. This one was by far the most comfortable we’ve stayed at in many years. Thank you very much for the perfect visit to Connecticut

We had a wonderful stay!! The lock was stuck upon check-in but the host called us (it was the middle of the night) and walked us through getting it open. She was so friendly and helpful! The place itself was perfect. Great kitchen, sleeping areas, clean and wonderfully decorated. Even with the lock issue, this was a 5 star stay and we have absolutely no complaints. We had 3 people and we felt like we had plenty of room. It’s also right down the street from the Mohegan Sun!!! So perfect place to stay if you want to visit the resort. You can’t get a better location. Also very quiet area.

Ada’s villa was absolutely immaculate! We stayed over as we were visiting Norwich Inn and Spa, which had availability for services but not for a stay. Finding Ada’s beautiful studio was amazing for us! It is on the property and there are several local restaurants close by - check out Mido Sushi! Ada left a thoughtful welcome note and his place had every amenity he advised it would, including linens, towels, toiletries, and coffee! He also provided easy to follow instructions to enter the villa. We did not need to contact him at all because he was so proactive and engaging with us! We cannot wait to come back and stay again! It is convenient to both Mohegan and Foxwoods, and we checked out Herb’s this morning, as well as Preson Ridge!

My stay was nothing short of Amazing Check-in was smooth with clear instructions and the home was beautiful as pictured,I really appreciated the hospitality the host showed me and would definitely book again! Thank you Prime Reality

Our family had a very enjoyable stay! The home and surroundings were beautiful, everything was extremely clean and organized, our host was wonderful! We absolutely loved the tea ceremony! It was very educational! We will definitely stay here again when we return to New Haven!

I rented this home to accommodate my family of 6 over Christmas. Beautiful home and very comfortable beds, high quality linens and lots of space. I could tell the house was very well set up for summer guests too with plenty of outdoor gathering areas.

This place was clean, had everything we needed, and was in a great location. Would recommend.

My husband and I stayed at Nicole's place with another couple for two nights. Nicole left us a thoughtful welcome sign and treats upon check in, which we appreciated. The place is in a very well maintained condo complex with multiple pools and beautiful grounds. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything a hotel might have (hair dryers, shampoo, soap, etc.) and more. We loved the little balcony that overlooked a pond with a fountain, ducks, and songbirds. Location-wise, it's perfect! Less than a 10-minute drive to Mohegan Sun, and lots of places to eat nearby. We had a great brunch at Herb's, a local landmark diner. We would definitely choose Nicole's place if we return to the Norwich area!

was a very cute place. well maintined and clean. originally i booked it for the pool, but the pool was closed. but it was so quiet and peaceful, it was still enjoyable.
