The Bushnell House CT

We rented the Bushnell House (under new ownership!) for my family to stay at for my cousin's wedding in Madison and it was perfect! Nancy is amazing; so communicative and incredibly helpful; she has thought of absolutely everything! There were 8 adults, 2 kids, and 1 dog and we had an absolute blast! There was so much space for all of us to spread out, the house was spotlessly clean, and SO well appointed. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking, there were toys, books, and games for the kids, and every little detail was so thoughtful -- dog bowls and local dog treats, beach towels and beach passes, snacks and a even a delicious bottle of local wine in the fridge. The perfect place for a family gathering, we had a great time! Thank you, Nancy!

I stayed here while traveling for business in Connecticut. The host is amazingly gracious and cooks and amazing roast chicken. She will gladly take care of most any accommodations that you need, including but not limited to tequila and eggs cooked to order. The rooms are very clean, ample parking, fast Wi-Fi, and gracious host. Also the ocean is a short 10min walk from the house. I highly recommend and will definitely be staying here in the future.

Please be aware that if you make a reservation with the owner, Nancy, and she would like to change your room prior to your arrival and you do not agree, she will immediately cancel your reservation--no compromising at all. This just happened to me and my husband a few minutes ago. I had placed a deposit on a reservation for my birthday weekend at the end of April. This morning Nancy asked us if we would switch the room we selected to another room because she has a long-term guest who would like to extend her stay in the room we had chosen. She failed to tell us that the guest wanted to stay an additional 30 days. I explained as nicely as I could that my husband did not want to stay in a first-floor room and that we were really looking forward to the balcony in the room we had chosen.

We have just returned from a wonderful (too-short) weekend in Westbrook - lucky enough to stay at the Bushnell House Inn for a graduation! A perfect place to share with fellow family - everyone had their own wonderful, private room, but also ample space indoors AND outdoors to gather for meals. Cozy, home-y, with LOTS of charm - and sparkling clean. A large indoor kitchen with everything one could need, and then an outdoor kitchen and patio too! A cozy New England front porch. Hosts could not have been friendlier or more welcoming - snacks, brochures, dog-friendly, etc. We felt so welcomed and well-taken care of! Thank you!

Stayed with the whole family, 13 of us in total, and the Bushnell House had zero problem comfortably accommodating us all. The house felt full, in a wonderful way, and not cramped. The bedrooms are a generous size with comfortable king beds, the kitchen had modern appliances against a charming, rustic frame and the porch and yard are nicely kept. Nancy, the owner and host, is a lovely person and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. (I see a negative review about the owner - I have to assume this was the previous owner, as Nancy is none of the things described.) The location in Eastern CT was excellent as well, especially for kids. The local beach is maybe a 3 minute drive, Hammonasset State Park is nearby, as is the Essex Steam Train, Block Island, and lots to explore in Clinto
