River Barn, Sidewalk Stroll into Essex Village
The Coolest Airbnb in Connecticut (Conde Nast Traveler 2021) The barn is a perfect retreat. Ideal for those looking to take a break from city life or those working remotely.

We’ve made great memories there over the years and are now looking to share it with others!
