Wonderful place!
My family and friends greatly enjoyed our stay at the Basset House. Michael was extremely helpful in accommodating our needs, we had food, milk, beverages, fruits and pastry waiting for us on our check-in day. This place is very clean, comfortable, well equipped and organized and everyone feels like home there. We had a wonderful time and will hold beautiful memories from The Bassett House!

Simply amazing!!
Simply amazing!! We would like to return on the first opportunity. It has been our VRBO experience ever. Everything was as expected or better. Ample spaces for our group of 9, including kitchen, living room, tv room. Michael was very attentive with all of our arrival needs, including basic groceries, fine toiletries, table set-up, etc. Totally recommend staying in this home.

Nicest rental ever
Celebrated a long awaited family reunion at Bassett House. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The home, stunning decor, spaciousness, and Michael were unmatched. It was thoughtfully well stocked. From the moment we entered it felt like coming home.

True Luxury
What an incredible home The Bassett House is! The property is stunning and was set up so beautifully that upon arrival we were truly blown away. The openness of the floor plan, the incredible attention to detail throughout the home, and Michael’s gracious thoughtfulness made this the very best rental experience our family has had, bar none. We were in town for our son’s wedding and had a fantastic week. The house easily accommodated our family of four plus a few extended family members. We also hosted two events: a birthday dinner party and a brunch reception the day after the wedding. Everything we needed (and more!) was on site to host these events. Beautiful table settings, chafing dishes preset for us, all the cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc. you need to cook full meals, and numerous suggestions from Michael on catering and/or take out. We had assumed that we’d need to cater our parties, but ended up happily cooking for both large meals ourselves. It is quite a rare experience to be able to host to such high level events in a rental home. But the set up here truly is exceptional. It was an amazing, beautiful, and fun stay! Thank you Michael so very much- you helped our family make our son’s wedding week the event of a lifetime! Some favorite details: The beds are fantastic (I wish I knew what brand the master bed is… I’d buy one today!). All linens, soaps, towels, etc. are luxurious. Fully stocked kitchen Super convenient location

Best VRBO property. In CT for my daughter’s Bridal shower and the home was perfect size for friends and family coming in for the weekend of festivities. Property owner went above and beyond to make the home welcoming. It is a beautiful home and our group enjoyed all the attention to detail. Gracious property owners - could tell they take great pride in making sure everything is done right.

Home away from home
We felt right at home in the beautiful Basset House. There was plenty of room to accommodate my family overnight and to host Christmas for extended family. We were blown away by this home. We’ve stayed twice and looking forward to booking a stay again in the future!
