Northeastern Connecticut has a quiet heritage known as "The Last Green Valley", there are things to do, and history embedded in unlikely places. Getting here is by car, bus and train service difficult. It is three hours to NYC, 2 to Boston, a half hour or one hour to ocean beaches, a quick hour to the Connecticut River Valley. This part of Connecticut is not tourist oriented; there are things to do, but you do need to drive a bit to get to them. The house is situated on hundreds of acres of protected farmland. No farm animals on the premises. The backyard view is a small swamp/pond, farm fields, open sky. The pool is non-heated. June and July and August, the water temperature is fine. This house sleeps 8.

The artist who designed the Quarter used this tree as a model. I am next door. Text, call 24 hours a day for assistance. It's nice to meet you briefly to make sure you are all set.
