Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Newtown

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic house. It is full of character: we especially loved the massive fireplace where meals were presumably prepared back when it was an inn in the 1700s. It is also ridiculously spacious and very well furnished and equipped for a group of 10: the dining table easily seats 10, there is ample comfortable seating in the living room (not to mention at least 3 other sitting rooms one could gather in), and 8 of us were simultaneously cooking in the kitchen without anyone bumping elbows. Cooking here is a dream: there is a 6-burner+grill stove, 2 ovens, and all the equipment you could want (including a KitchenAid stand mixer and Vitamix blender). Moreover, Carly was an excellent host: she was always quick to respond, her messages were clear, and she generously allowed us to stay an extra hour to make our timing work out well. We highly recommend this house and would love to return.

This was a few nights getaway with my two adult daughters. The house is adorable, neat and cozy. The beds were very comfortable. Felt right at home. We did a little kayaking on the lake, which was beautiful. The weather wasn’t perfect, but we made the best of it and enjoyed each other’s company. The neighborhood was very quaint. We took a walk around the lake. Nicole was very responsive whenever I messaged her. We felt very comfortable being there. I would highly recommend this home.

This house was wonderful as I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to family and friends. The views from the balconies and windows were amazing! The house was absolutely beautiful and super clean. The location was secluded but still near shops and restaurants. We loved our stay!

Stayed here for our sins wedding. Location was perfect. Very cozy, comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood. We felt right at home.

Our stay was stunning. The location is quiet and peaceful yet close enough to the town to get what you may need. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous. It’s clean, the layout is beautiful, and the views are out of this world. A truly incredible place to stay. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was perfect, and each room has a full bath which was great for our family. Overall highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay very much. The area is very cute and not far to go into New Milford or New Preston to explore. The home is lovely and very clean. The mattress provided us with the best sleep ever. The kitchen was a focal point and it was great for cooking. Our host was very nice and available for questions. We found it be a little gem and would highly recommend staying there.

The ARLO was super cute and very clean. It had ALL the amenities we needed. Outstanding communication with the hosts. Great welcome guide full of info. that answers all your questions. Looking forward to coming back 💕

Incredibly clean, well stocked, private, and in the perfect location. You can enjoy the home with its large back yard and beautiful sunroom, or go walk to the restaurants that are right around the corner. Beth’s place has everything for a perfect stay. 1000% recommend staying here.

Cute, cozy, clean, and super close to the bike trail! Perfect stay for a weekend exploring the towns along the trail.

I believe this is our 4th or 5th visit here. We finally got to meet Mijail. What a great couple. We come back here because we really like staying there and it is so convenient to our daughter's house nearby. And its so nice to get away after a day with the grandkids. Pop a bottle of wine and unwind. We enjoyed the ceiling fan on arrival day as it was hot outside, but nice and cool inside. There is a big TV, but in all the stays we were there, we never once turned it on. Two energetic grandkids is exhausting. So its nice to retreat. This place is very private up on a hill. We never hear any neighbors. We will be back again.

Amazing place to stay if you are in the area! It’s at a great location, very peaceful neighborhood and lots to do. I will definitely be back if I am in the area again!!

This place was very cozy and clean. I enjoyed how peaceful and quiet the location was and wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy the backyard with our son. It was a perfect place to stay the night for our trip to a Yankees game!

We were recently in town to visit family, staying at Traci’s made our visit enjoyable and relaxing. Check-in was easy, the apartment was clean with a comfortable bed and a peaceful view of the brook. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, thank you Traci!

We had to cut our stay short due to changes in travel plans, which was a pity because it was a really lovely and very comfortable place. I would strongly recommend it and hope to stay longer next time.

Dawn and Bob’s place is one of the top Airbnb’s we have stayed in! Top notch in every way. It was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. And on top of that Dawn and Bob were the most friendly hosts we have met! I would recommend this Airbnb without reservation and will be back whenever we are back in CT!

The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating. The property and the space were gorgeous. The amenities were top notch and the kitchen ( which we took full advantage of ) had everything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone in need of a peaceful private getaway.

Over $500 a night was very high, much higher than west Coast pricing for two bedrooms near a major university. Convenient to Yale but know that poverty has always been evident a few feet from Yale borders and much of the foot traffic consists of the homeless. Also some noise at night from passing traffic. On the plus side there’s an excellent Italian bakery/gelato cafe across the street run by a husband wife team that makes everything they serve.

Obinna is a great host and this apartment is so comfortable and lots of space to stretch out. Fully stocked kitchen and there are fantastic restaurants within walking distance. Two 65", high end tvs and the mattresses on the beds are sooo nice. Obinna puts effort in where a lot of hosts cheap out, which really makes this pad special. It's tough to get an open spot here on the calendar, but, if get the chance, make your reservation here. It's the best in the area.

Muna was incredible start to finish with my stay. Helpful, communicative and accommodating. Place was perfectly as described. Genuinely recommend a stay at her place!

Will definitely be repeat customers when we come back to CT to see friends and family. The place is exactly as described, spotless and was a home away from home. Elizabeth answered any questions quickly. Thank you for making our first experience with Air Bnb a positive one.

Great Airbnb! Great Host! Perfect for visiting West Point

We had a great time at Julie’s place. Would love to visit again…perhaps in the Fall. Loved the balcony overlooking the Sound. Julie was very responsive to my questions. She got back to me immediately. I would highly recommend Julie’s home!

We had a great stay! Instructions were clear and the home had everything we needed.

Dan’s place is cozy, comfortable and just minutes away from Mt. Beacon in one direction and ten minutes away from Main Street in the other direction. The kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials, though there are so many delicious restaurants nearby- the best of both worlds! The bed was extremely comfortable and the jetted bathtub was a huge bonus. I genuinely relaxed there, which is a rarity for me. Thanks so much, Dan!
