It is minutes from town. And just 4-5 min from Canaan Motor Club. I picked this location as I was participating in a Track/HPD day at Canaan and it was perfect. Jennifer the host was great. Reached out to make sure everything was in order and if I needed anything. Beautifully appointed open floor plan. Such a surprise to find such a nice spot to spend the couple days I needed for the trip. 2 smaller bedrooms downstairs and a master up in the enclosed loft like area upstairs on the second level. All modern and clean. It was perfect. Thanks Jennifer. ##### Al M. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura K. 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We came because relatives live in Enfield not knowing anything except what was listed. We were surprised to find a beautiful renovation of the interior of this building. The master bedroom runs the length of the rear of the building, look out into the woods behind. Behind it was a large patio with grill and comfortable furniture and a herb garden. A short path into the woods led to the stream that ran behind. Inside was everything we could imagine needing, using technology where useful. Of particular interest to us were cooking needs for which it was fully equipped. The one shortcoming of note is its location on a fairly busy highway with the resulting traffic noise much of the time. The bedrooms, however, are along the back of the building, where closing the doors and windows mitigates the noise. Jennifer responded quickly and was friendly and helpful throughout. All in all, we had a great time. ##### Laura K. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025
