New! “LaBoDee”
“LaBoDee”, a fun play on the word abode, house, is a tiny cottage located central to CT’s unique shoreline communities, just off I95. “LaBoDee” is one room with a fully equipped kitchenette, ready for those who would like to stay awhile. “LaBoDee” is on a property contiguous to a state forest (a trail is right outside the door) yet within walking distance is a delicious deli, market, gas station, pizza, a lake, and close by is the beach. A local restaurant has day passes for their beach- $20!!

Enjoy a quiet getaway, submerged in nature that's only minutes from 95! Local beaches, lake, museums, hiking, shops with easy access to casinos, Mystic and more! (Click photos for more details!)

The Village Loft: UNIQUE 1 BDRM W/ PRIVATE DECK
Located in charming downtown Chester, our loft rests above the newly established Village Bistro; with the loft being situated above our restaurant and on Main Street please keep in mind that you may hear some background noise during normal business hours. Additionally, you will be staying in a 200-year-old structure so there is some quirkiness that goes along with an aged building such as ours but rest assured you will feel right at home in this cozy, warm, historic space.

Penny Corner Airbnb
My place is located up the hill from Good Speed Opera House. The Opera House is on the same side of the river as my place.

The space is a ground level 1 bedroom apartment with private entrance. There is no TV in the unit, WIFI is available for your devices.
