Cozy Cabin Vibe In A Very Welcoming Small Town
Can't say enough about the whole experience with this problem. The owner was super nice, walked me through the entry process. Was very responsive when I had questions about the property and local items. The Little Chestnut in Chester is an excellent jumping off spot for a lot of activities around the lower Connecticut River area. The town of Chester has a really nice vibe and could spend all the time there. The Little Chestnut is set up for about 4 people. The beds were super comfortable, and had extra blankets for this cool nights. The heater worked great and kept the cabin very warm. The electric fireplace was also very warm and gave an awesome atmosphere without the hassle of an actual fireplace. Hot water heater was plenty big for 3 adults to take a shower and not run out of hot water. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking and eating utensils, however with so many great eating places we didn't do any cooking. When we stayed the little bookstore below was open and was a fun visit for the girls. If we could give more stars I certainly would.

Long weekend getaway
This property was such a nice place to stay! Its right above a little romantic bookshop which is a little added bonus. It is within walking distance of several boutiques, delcious restaurants, and a local brewery. Multiple hiking spots within short driving distance. The owner was also very helpful and kind. Loved our little getaway!
