We had the pleasure of staying at this amazing property in celebration of our son's graduation this weekend. Every aspect of our stay was top notch from the lovely location amidst the woods of Old Lyme and ecletic mid-century decor, to the extremely well appointed chef's kitchen and amenities throughout. Hats off to our host. Chris was the most gracious, accommodating, and attentive host that we've ever had- and we travel with VRBO quite extensively. We highly recommend staying at this property. You will not be sorry.

An absolutely magical stay!

Our stay was perfect in every way! The house is amazing. Not only is it a beautiful large house, the hosts have thought about everything their guests could want. The kitchen had everything you need to cook incredible meals (and we did). It was a lovely space to spend time with friends, while having plenty of space to step away to work in private. The house was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The hosts could not have been nicer and made sure to check in to be sure we didn’t have any questions during our visit. This is absolutely one of the best homes we have visited and we would love to return!

The kitchen was the heartbeat of our stay and did not disappoint. Since we were a group aged 19 to 93 it was a great place to gather and my mom could sit in the treehouse dining area while everyone else buzzed around prepping and cooking. The coffee and tea area was like being in a luxury hotel and the cookware, dishware, and glassware was over the top!

We were in town for my nephew’s wedding and the location was perfect for getting to all the events. Plenty of space for everyone to relax and to come together. Nice large kitchen space for making a few meals and chatting around the island. The small table next to the kitchen was my favorite spot to have a cup of tea and enjoy the view. The host, Chris, was very responsive and I appreciated all the information he provided.

Beautiful house tucked away in the woods. Very private but close to everything. There's a grocery store 5 minutes away, and its proximity to the highway makes the drive to beaches in Old Saybrook 15 minutes or less away.The house itself has more then enough space. Every room has beautiful views from large windows. Very peaceful and serene. Boasts a top notch kitchen / eat in area, along with two living rooms, dining room, washer/dryer, 3.5 baths, and 4 bedrooms.The owner is very nice, courteous, accommodating, and seems genuinely invested in making sure we had a great stay.Highly recommend to anyone.

lovely oasis in the woods

We had a great experience here! Attending a wedding over the weekend at Smith Farm Gardens, we had plenty of room for all of us. Grateful for the air conditioning and the beautiful space, there were plenty of places to sit and read or watch the Olympics and hang out and listen to music. There are, as listing says, lots of steps so we got our workouts in! Very clean, comfortable, beautiful and welcoming.

Amazing stay at the glass house!

We loved our stay at the Glass House! It was in such a special place for our family, and the setting was just magical. The home was exactly as described, and there were so many thoughtful and special touches throughout the home. We loved the kitchen supplies, the coffee the owners left us, the soaps in the bathrooms, and most of all the art! Every room was different and unique. The owners were very friendly, and easy to communicate with. We would love to stay again! 5/5

Loved how the house was laid out to offer privacy for all guests with sleeping arrangements and the living spaces were beautiful. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms all updated and new. Was beautiful in winter so summer must be gorgeous here with the landscaping. The owner was very responsive. Grocery store was quick 5 minute drive.

Connecticut wedding “tyme”

We chose this location to stay at while we were attending a wedding in Westbrook. It was easy to drive by the driveway as it is a wooded street but when we got the right one, we drove down the long driveway to a beautiful glass home (the description wasn’t lying!). It was filled w art and live plants and was as beautiful inside as it was out. Plenty of space and we liked that some of the rooms were a bit segregated from each other so we could have some quiet time if needed. Note that it does get a bit warm in the day inside but cools down at night (and in fairness it was 100 degrees outside when we stayed there!) as well as there are a fair amount of steps to enter and inside to get to the bedrooms and some additional rooms. The check in/out process was incredibly accommodating and easy-host was super helpful and informative!

Perfect College Reunion Spot!

Five of my college friends returned to the area to attend our 20th reunion and chose to stay at this beautiful VRBO about 25 minutes from our campus. The house was exactly as depicted in the online pictures/description. It was artsy, modern, comfortable, and beautiful, with various thoughtful touches from the hosts. Three of the formal bedrooms are tucked away nicely. The 4th/loft bedroom (where I slept) is wonderful/comfortable, but does open up to the kitchen, so make sure you're okay with a bit of late-night or morning noise, if others are still awake. I did choose on the last night to sleep in the den on the large and incredibly comfortable couch, so really, this house has a ton of options for comfortable sleeping!Everything was incredibly clean. Both the check-in process and communication with the host was very easy. Check-out procedures were also very easy!And the location of the house is amazing! The 25-minute drive to our campus flew by, and it was well worth it to be nestled in this beautiful wooded property. I already want to book this house again for our 25th reunion!

Mira L.

Les points forts : Arrivée et emplacement
First the positives: The location was ideal. The house was well stocked. We didn't cook but the kitchen was exceptionally equipped. The house felt like a treehouse. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were nice.The negatives: We arrived to find the house very stuffy (almost 80 degrees in the main living area) without a way to adjust the temperature. I texted the host and the temperature was adjusted. We didn't appreciate not being able to control the temperature (it was freezing the rest of the stay). My husband and I stayed in the basement room. The room, hallway, and bathroom had 10 bugs scattered throughout. The bathroom smelled like sewer and was very muggy. The host offered to send the cleaning lady the next day, but we didn’t think it was necessary since my husband just cleaned up the bugs and the rest of the house was clean. Throughout the weekend, we realized that the bugs were coming out of the shower drain, it was disgusting! We also discovered that the back door didn't bolt. The host did not seem to care when I brought this up. He did have excuses for the other concerns and actually blamed me for not telling him sooner our time of arrival. We arrived 5 hours AFTER the standard arrival time of 3PM. I gave him that info as soon as I could. The host offered us a full refund if we checked out that day and said “it would be in both our best interest if we avoided leaving a mutual review”. I stopped texting him and we stayed until our original check-out time.

Thank you for your feedback. We take hosting very seriously, and we believe that commitment is reflected in the many positive reviews we've received from our guests over the years. We also appreciate the kind comments about the location, the well-equipped kitchen, and the unique treehouse-like setting of the home. I'd like to clarify a few points for future guests. Temperature: The home is equipped with a Google Nest thermostat. While we can monitor it remotely when the home is vacant, guests have full control of the thermostat from the control panel located just inside the entrance. Prior to your arrival, we had been informed of an expected arrival around 6:30 PM. When no activity was detected until approximately 9:00 PM, the system automatically entered its energy-saving mode, which allowed the temperature to rise to 76°F—not 80°F as stated in the review. As soon as you contacted us, we adjusted the system immediately, and the home cooled within the hour. Had we known during your stay that you found it too cool afterward, we would have gladly helped adjust it or explained how to do so directly from the thermostat. Bugs: Our home is located in the middle of the woods, and during the spring and early summer, insects are naturally more active. We proactively treat the property and inspect it before every arrival. In fact, after learning of your late arrival, we sent someone to the home the morning of check-in specifically to inspect for insects, and none were found. When you later reported seeing bugs in the basement, we immediately offered to send our cleaner back the following morning to investigate and resolve the issue, but that offer was declined. Without access to the home, we were unable to determine the source or address it during your stay. We also reached out a week before your arrival to provide check-in information and ask about your expected arrival time. Knowing when guests plan to arrive helps us schedule final inspections and, when possible, accommodate early check-ins. We did not receive your arrival time until the evening before check-in, after our cleaning schedule had already been finalized. Finally, when it became clear that you were unhappy, we offered a full refund if you preferred to relocate rather than continue a stay that was not meeting your expectations. This offer was made in good faith to provide you with an alternative, not to avoid responsibility. We genuinely strive to provide every guest with an exceptional experience, and we will continue to do so. We appreciate all feedback that helps us improve while also wanting future guests to have an accurate understanding of what occurred.

Fantastic Home in the Woods

We stayed at this property for a week over Christmas in 2024 for a family celebration of Christmas and a very special Birthday. Chris was very easy to communicate with in advance of our trip and was there to meet us upon check-in. He even helped us unload the car as it was getting late and quite cold (for Floridians). The home was beautifully appointed (as in the photos), very comfortable and had plenty of space for 7 people who arrived over the first few days. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare Christmas dinner, and the beds were amazingly comfortable for everyone. Great cell service, beautiful views from every room and just a fantastic experience. Chris checked-in with us via text nearly every day to assure all was well, which was most appreciated. Several of the nearby towns are wonderful to explore such as Essex, Mystic and Stonington and if you have the time; Newport, RI. We highly recommend this property for both the aesthetics and functionality of the property as well as the care that Chris and Derick have taken in this lovely home.

It was such a pleasure to have Joe and Carolann at our house for their Christmas and Birthday splash, what wonderful people and the best guests ever. We are so happy that you first VRBO experience exceeded your expectations. We hope to see you again.
