A Perfect Family Getaway in Essex, CT
We recently traveled all the way from Australia to visit Essex, CT, and stayed at River Barn for four nights—and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm and beauty of this property.
The River Barn feels like a hidden gem—immaculately designed, cozy, and surrounded by the most peaceful scenery. It was the perfect spot for my wife, our two daughters, and me to relax and truly feel at home. Every detail in the house has been so thoughtfully curated, and the combination of modern comfort with historic character is second to none.
The location is also ideal, just minutes from the beautiful town of Essex with its quaint shops, cafes, and waterfront views. After exploring the area, coming back to the serene setting of River Barn was a highlight each day.
We can’t recommend this place highly enough—whether you’re traveling as a family or looking for a quiet, luxurious retreat, this is the place to stay. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We’ll carry the memories of this trip with us for years to come.
