Cabin Description:

A historic barn that oozes charm, post and beam construction, an interior that inspires peace, walking distance to an enchanting New England town with coastal charm. This all sounds so wonderful but it couldn’t possibly be real could it? Oh, my dear reader, I am so pleased to let you know that this place is real and it is a dream come true. River Barn is not only the “Coolest Airbnb in Connecticut” (Conde Nast Traveller 2021), it is our first ever Connecticut stay! The Barn is setting the bar very high. Step inside and enjoy a comfortable space that you can really sink into. The cave-like living room is at its best with a fire crackling and a good book, add a little rain shower out the picture window for a perfect moody moment. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for culinarians of all skill levels, they provide many of the necessary staples. A lush backyard is perfect for nights spent under the stars, everyone gathering around the fire and sharing stories. Perhaps you picked up a book about haunted New England at the shops downtown, it is only about a ten minute walk! With sleeping accommodations for up to four this home is a cozy coastal getaway perfect for history buffs, friends and I personally want to go back for a romantic long weekend.

Pop in to The Griswold Inn for some history and tasty morsels. Enjoy the coastal vibes of New England in this Hallmark worthy downtown.

Great For:
