Welcome to our historic home in a little farming town on the Connecticut shoreline. We have lived in our home that was built in 1782 for 7 years. We welcome you with your van camper to stay the night or two! We do not have a separate grill or fire ring for your parking spot, but you are free to use our charcoal weber or Weber gas grill. Whether you are passing through, or here to see the local sites, we look forward to meeting you! Due to the fact that we have three dogs, we ask that only campers with one small dog join us at our home. We do have a fenced in side yard for you to use when our dogs are in the house. When you walk your dog please pick up after then and remove from the property. Our home sits on a main road and there will be road noise! We have 3 acres with the main house a rental cottage and a workshop/ garage. You will park next to the workshop that overlooks our vegetable garden and rolling backyard. We do live on a main road that does have regular traffic if you are sensitive to car noise then this may not be the place for you. But if you have your AC going it shouldn’t be too bad. We hope to see you all here soon and learning all about your travels. Suggested Local Attractions:Hammonasset State Park beach, Old Saybrook, Essex Steam Train, Gillette Castle State Park.
