If you are looking for something special, your search ends here. The castle is simply amazing. We were totally stunned by the interior and the details. It was very clean, the beds comfy, totally quiet at night. Outside there is a beautiful garden and forest and the pond with the bullfrog is also an highlight. We very much enjoyed our stay and totally recommend to stay there! Besides, Maria is a great host, very friendly and helpful!

Never met Maria, but her call-backs (returned phone calls) were friendly and informative. Trust me, a castle is a cozy place to ride out a snowstorm.

An absolutely perfect stay in every way shape and form. Location was perfect. Castle itself was absolutely breathtaking. Maria the owner was the most lovely woman you could have the pleasure of renting from. It was just absolutely perfect.

This place is magical! We were 3 couples staying at the castle and it was great. There is more than enough space, great atmosphere and also Maria had the entire place decorated for Christmas, which was just beautiful. I recommend this place to everyone :)

If you're going to be ANYWHERE near Hartford, CT, your search ends here. (1) The castle is twice as amazing in person, inside and out; just stunningly gorgeous... (2) The host, Maria, is an incredible person; smart, accommodating, welcoming, and so genuine. What more could I ask for? I have already sent this listing to at least half a dozen friends and family members and insisted they experience it for themselves. Thank you Maria for the opportunity to live in a castle for the weekend! :) P.S. for travelers: there is an awesome zip-lining location just half an hour away; most fun I've had in years. Just search GoApe Treetop Adventure CT on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and have fun!

One word to describe the Aborn castle is majestic. My breath was taken away going up the drive way. The house was very well furnished with little trinkets everywhere. It was very warm the few days we were there and there was only one air conditioner in the master bedroom which made for a very warm stay. Although we didn't get to meet Maria, she responded very quickly to our requests even sending her maintenance people to install the air conditioner one evening as well as other requests. Overall, we had a comfortable stay. We did see a lot of bugs during our stay, probably due to the weather but nothing a little raid couldn't fix. Also, we had a few issues with the water that we have now resolved so be careful with the sinks and bathtubs. All in all, I really enjoyed staying at this castle with such deep history and for such a great cause.

The castle was a wonderful getaway for my wife and me. We had a great time.

The Cozy Storybook Castle is an interesting place to stay. The home is easy to find and located on a main road just about an hour from the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry. The home itself is filled with interesting details and furniture that appears to be carefully picked out to fit in with the castle theme. Also, the floors and furniture were clean and dust free! The bed in the master bedroom is comfortable and there is a window air conditioning unit for those concerned about the cooling system when booking a summer stay. However, the remaining portion of the home was quite warm (we had the misfortune of visiting on a 90 degree day). My husband and I agreed that the fall would be the perfect time to visit and the home would probably be cozy in the winter as well. In regard to "things to do" near the castle, my husband I and enjoyed The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk, which was only about 20 minutes away. The outdoor mall features many restaurants and ample shopping! We were only at the castle for two nights, so we did spend a lot of time just sitting outside reading in one of the many available tables.

What a beautiful place, and kind host. She was readily available with whatever we needed, responded quickly and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Although the hosts live in the house with their dogs you'd never know, they were so quiet and it really felt like we had the place to ourselves! The hot tub at night was fantastic, and we had such a blast playing pool. They have satellite cable with plenty of channels, the tv was a nice size. The space is huge and it was immaculately clean. Overall would recommend and would love to return

I got the place for my parents who travelled from overseas to spend some time with me. The house became their favorite destination! The space is very comfortable and Delanea was very welcoming. She replies fast and tries every possible way to make our stay comfortable. She provided us with extra utilities not mentioned in house listing. I highly recommend this place for anyone wants to escape the crazy life and have a private place to relax.

Delanea & Henery were so lovely. We were running late for check in on Friday night but they were so accomadating. They met us at the door & Henery had 2 Guinness chilling in the fridge for us. The apartment is really big. So much room. My only critic about it was there was no double bed so we had to sleep in single beds. TIP: there is no shops with in walking distance & close early so if running late like we were an want tea/coffee make sure to take some milk an a few bits with you.

Our host was fantastic. Very helpful honestly I have no complaints.

Delanea and her husband met us when we arrived and made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. You enter the apartment from the back yard, which is large and beautiful with a small woods, koi pond, a swing set, a picnic table and benches, etc. The space itself is also very big, with a full kitchen, pool table, fireplaces, large screen TV, etc. It is a pretty and quiet area - not the place if you are looking for restaurants and shops, but great for relaxation. No sidewalks, but not too much traffic. A bit down the road there is an entrance to a nature preserve with hiking trails. Since this is a fairly new listing, there were some supplies and information that we needed to ask for, but Delanea was happy to oblige!

Delanea was extremely accommodating and welcoming. My friends and I came in from the city and this was a perfect destination. Very peaceful and spacious, fantastic amenities. Definitely recommend!

Amazing location only 25 minute drive from Brimfield, spacious apartment and attentive host.

I'm so sorry we couldn't make it! thank you for being so easy to work with and flexible.

Quiet location

We had a wonderful time at Peg and Mike's house! They were great hosts and responded to our queries right away. The house is great, lovely backyard and we even manage to take advantage of the hot tub, definitely a plus in the house. Very clean and close to a nice area in the small town. It was perfect for our little weekend escapade. This is a great place to relax for a few days or have a stop over on the road. Thank you Mike and Peg.

Loved the historic bed and breakfast. Super clean, spacious, lots of amenities, had a great stay!

Unfortunately We never met BUT Thomas made us feel welcome and comfortable in whatever way he could.... The location was perfect for us and THE MUFFKIES were yummy

Host was responsive and worked around my arrival time. He was friendly and makes awesome almond cookies. Location right off Main St where all of Stafford Springs is accessible.

Thomas was a very friendly host. His place is quite roomy, and set up such that the guest has their own space. I found it easy to work, as the neighborhood is quiet. Parking was easy to come by. Thomas also made plenty of good conversation--and food. The neighborhood is quiet, but there are a few nice restaurants, a cafe, and a park. Thomas' place suited my needs, and I recommend it highly.

I was in Stafford Springs with a friend to watch a concert at the Palace Theater (yep, drove up from DC since the band was worth it!). Tom's place was 2 doors down from the concert venue and so was very convenient. We had a set of keys and could enter and leave anytime so that was helpful too. The room was comfortable (as you see in the photo), clean sheets on the bed and a set of clean towels for our use. Since all the parking spots were taken by the concert goers, he let me park in his garage while he parked on the street. The host also offered us use of his home WiFi and there was a laptop in the room in case we wanted to use it. Sure hope his place is available if I go back to Stafford Springs!

Thomas was most accomadating, and did his best to help me have a good stay! He allowed me to park my motorcycle in his garage, helped me when I was having computer problems, and left me some of his wonderful Muffkies!

tom's place was just as advertised plus the cookies are great!

Thomas is eager to please guests and is very considerate.

Thomas is a very friendly host. He is very kind and heartwarming. He helps me to find a place to repair my car. The room is clean and tide. It is a good place to stay. Highly recommended

We had such a wonderful experience at Elisa's recording studio! Immediately upon our arrival, we couldn't help but beat ourselves up for booking her space just for the night . We really wished we had prolonged our stay throughout the weekend to explore her adorable town just a little more. We were surprised to find that not only was the recording studio much larger than it appeared, but the incredibly cool atmosphere she created in a renovated Mill Factory far succeeded the images on her profile. Her bohemian, eclectic and global aesthetic added a very charming, warm and inviting environment that undoubtedly contributes a stimulating energy to the artist and creatives who use her studio to produce their work. It was very reminiscent of a cool Brooklyn apartment (better even, considering the size of the space) and we felt right at home. We were very comfortable throughout our stay and Elisa really put in the extra effort in to make sure we had all the amenities we needed. Aesthetics aside, Elisa was nothing but delightful! We were overwhelmed by her hospitality and efforts to make our stay as pleasant as possible. She even greeted us with pizza, which was a wonderful surprise after our long trip from New York City. After Elisa gave us the initial tour upon our arrival, she left us to enjoy the space on our own and let us know that she was only a call or text message away if we needed anything else. Overall, the experience was beyond pleasant and We most definitely would love to come back for a longer stay! Thanks a lot Elisa for being so enjoyable and inviting and we look forward to the next time we see each other again! Always, Primo, Dan and Julia(URL HIDDEN)

Elisa made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. There was a huge beautiful fruit basket waiting for us, along with homemade coffee cake, lemons and limes for us to use for our cocktails... She gave us a tour of the studio, and offered to open the sleeper sofas and get the studio ready for us at nighttime. We were allowed to use all of the instruments in the studio, including drums, guitars, a piano, electric keyboard and microphones. The studio feels relaxed and artistic, with old albums to look thru and old fashioned microphones. We all really enjoyed our stay there and will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Our three musically inclined teenage daughters and us really enjoyed staying at Elisa's spot. It was spacious and at the same time cozy with space to chill together or solo and enjoy self. Having a full kitchen was great to cook and grilling on the roof patio while watching the sunset was something special... thank you Elisa for sharing your beautiful space!!

Elisa was so helpful and accommodating and made our trip so much fun! She even brought over an air mattress so we would have more sleeping amenities.

Elisa was so kind and made us feel so comfortable right away the min we met. We loved the studio So much.! Everything was so perfect, clean and very well organized with pretty furnitures , musical instruments and decorations-we didn't even wanna leave the studio for dinner. We found the studio for Brim field antique show and had to check in earlier than what we originally planned due to the weather though Elisa was so flexible and welcomed us with warmth. The town around the studio is also very cute with nice antique stores. We wanna definitely come back here anytime with friends or family to have a special time. Strongly recommended!

Elisa is a fantastic host taking the trouble to ensure we knew how to find the apartment, introducing herself n her daughter and ensuring we were appraised of the local events during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble including drinks n even baking a cake. She's lovely! The apartment is really unique and tastefully decorated too and in a great location in Stafford.

This Recording Studio was beyond anything I ever expected. The host, Elisa, was so kind and welcoming and so easy to communicate with. Everything was so clean and well decorated, and there was even apple cake baked for us! The recording studio is very professional, with everything you need, ready to go. There is plenty of close parking available, and the outside area makes you feel like you're in your own little downtown alley. Whether you're a musician that wants a place to record, or are just looking for a really relaxing place to stay a few days, I would recommend this place to anyone, any day. Just make sure to respect all the décor and expensive recording equipment!!

I just want to say thank you to Elisa, Studio 307 and her staff. Our band had a great experience spending an entire weekend at the studio with Studio 307 engineer. Elisa, the owner, was very warm and professional. The nice thing was the studio had a completely furnished flat with plenty of room for the entire band. Thanks again!!!

Very comfortable and perfect for what we needed. Centrally located and no too far from Brimfield.

Great place. Beautifully decorated. Perfect hang out place.

The space was perfect for a group of us! It had all the amenities we needed and then some! David was awesome with answering all of my questions, I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place!!

We came to stafford just for a weekend to get out of the city. Dave was very welcoming, did a great job getting us set up and the house was clean when we arrived. It's in a perfect part of town, very artsy. We LOVED the pool table in the room, very fun! The apartment is an open concept studio with multiple beds, would be a great place for multiple people, but it was just the two of us on this trip. If we come back to stafford, we'd definitely stay at Daves again! Thanks for the hospitality Dave!

Great place , host made sure and answered any questions would foward in staying there again next time in town!

Wow! This was our favorite airbnb so far! Spotless, super comfortable, and very hip! Everything you need is here, including organic coffee! Comfortable beds, great living area, high ceilings and lots of light! Great artsy neighborhood. Very easy lockbox access. The host was great. Very prompt in answering questions, very friendly. Will stay there again if in the area for sure!

David's place was exactly how he described. Very spacious with a nice creek/river in the back. Would definitely book again.

As always, Kitty is wonderful. The stay here, especially for someone who travels a lot, makes it feel like you are coming home. The bed is inviting, the house is cozy, the dogs are super friendly. Definitely a great place to revisit for me!

Kitty was was a lovely host. Very welcoming,thank you for a very pleasant stay

Kitty was great. A warm welcome upon arrival (even though it was late in the evening) and she greeted me every day that I she was around when I came to her home. Her dogs are also super friendly, almost like they were my pets too.

Toller Gastgeber, hat Rick auch während unseres gesamten Aufenthaltes mitgeteilt. Er ging sogar darüber hinaus uns mit unserer Miete Situation zu helfen. Ich würde ihn jedem empfehlen.

My sister and I stayed one night in Hartford before our drive to New Haven to look for apartments. Our flight was delayed so much that we didn't even arrive at Trevor's until 2 am! Everything was clean and it was easy to get inside. Rooms were nice and we were out the next morning!

The host canceled this reservation 36 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very comfortable, spacious apartment. All amenities and experience as promised. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cool Spot, bon emplacement très belle douche. Choisirais à nouveau si jamais à cet endroit

response was great from host.

该公寓是非常干净和方便。这也是留下来,如果你有孩子的好地方,因为有一些伟大的玩具是有限的玻璃/易碎。

公寓行之有效为我们的家庭。

Very nice and clean apartment. The kids room is fabulous. My kids loved it and didn't want to go home. the host is easy to reach and replies to messages very promptly. Would highly recommend it.

Where to even begin, Lina's place was perfect for our 2 night stay. She had thought of absolutely everything and was so helpful with things to do and places to go around the area. Lina and her family are absolutely lovely and I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

This was a perfect location for us it was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend it.

I had a great stay at Lina's! The space was decorated lovely and had all you could need for a few nights stay!

Enjoyed staying here.

The location is in the beautiful town of Suffield, and located in a residential but surprisingly in a central area making it easy to get to and around both in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Lina made you feel welcome and her attention to detail was amazing. The cleanliness could pass a "white glove inspection" My stay surpassed my expectations fresh fruits, a very comfortable bed, a quiet and restful experience. I would strongly recommend to a friend a stay at Lina's place

We took in a show @ the XL in Hartford and wanted an easy place to find late at night where 3 of us could be comfortable and this place fit the bill. Lina was very accommodating with our late night check-in (almost 11:00 p.m.) and greeted us warmly and has lots of nice extras for us -- snacks, fresh fruit, magazines, sweet little gift bags with toiletries and useful items -- the my teenage daughter and her friend loved it. I will gladly stay again when in the area.

Tracy was very nice and hospitable

Tracy did everything in her power to make sure our stay was perfect. She gave us free control and privacy when needed. Great place to stay when in the area.

Tracy is very warm and friendly the room is cozy and comfortable

Very spacious apartment - well provisioned - comfortable beds Eileen was very accommodating and responsive to questions both before and during our stay Coffee and continental breakfast were appreciated after a late night arrival We will be back
