From the moment we drove up to The Bassett House, we knew we picked a winner! The driveway, garage, and extra upper driveway were all great options for our cars. Upon entering the house, we were welcomed with wine, sparkling water, water bottles, bagels, croissants, specialty muffins, specialty cookies, specialty biscotti, pies…all beautifully presented and strategically placed around the kitchen.The refrigerator was stocked too; milk, eggs, juice, etc. The dining table was set for all of us just like Michael said it would be when he specifically asked how many would be staying at The Bassett House. When we went upstairs to unpack, each bedroom was ready for us. Plush linens and towels, an abundance of toiletries, and even crisp white bathrobes! All the bedroom TVs were large screen and the family room TV felt like we were in a movie theater. The interior was so tastefully decorated. Each room was beautifully appointed and the couches and chairs were very comfy! The big backyard was so much fun as we are a very competitive group and we enjoyed the many outdoor games available to us from in the garage. We have very funny pictures from the Tug of War challenges! We also enjoyed playing Bucket Ball, Kam Jam, and Cornhole. The Bassett House is near spectacular hiking and the New Haven-NorthHampton biking trail. There are also beaches and parks to visit and Michael has many recommendations for such and for great restaurants. So, if you are looking for a perfect vacation filled with lots of fun and great family/friend memories, then The Bassett House is the place for you! Thank you Michael for being such a personable and friendly host!
