Private room in Hadley

The 1797 House/Locke bedroom along CT River

OliviaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had the absolute best stay at Andrew’s. After a long weekend of road biking and staying in less than ideal places, checking into Andrew’s place felt like an absolute oasis! Andrew was extremely flexible and comunicative with check in and it was an easy process. After several moments of our trip being less than smooth, arriving at the house and getting settled was an actual dream. We felt immediately at home and were in awe with the house itself and all its history. The bedroom was super spacious, clean, and cozy and the bed was so comfortable. Not to mention the house is right off the bike path! We couldnt have been happier with our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Andrew!

Hadley Hay House | No Cleaning fees!

AvrilRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Let me just say, I wish all stays were like this one! Everything was exactly as described. It was my partners birthday and while the hot tub is shared, Kellsie told us we could have it to ourselves for the night when I inquired. She was so attentive by answering every question near immediately while also giving us full privacy and space during our stay. Check-in and check-out was the easiest ever. And no cleaning fee? She gets it! Beautiful, well-decorated space. Got to watch the deer in the field out back and she was so flexible with our needs and hospitable despite it being a last minute booking. Had everything and more. Games to play. Coffee in the morning. As an artist and traveler I appreciated the cleanliness but also with actual tasteful personality and style. Couldn’t recommend this space more!
