Great Place!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Millhouse. Very clean, comfortable, and private, with seamless communication with the owners. And you can’t beat the location- 1 block walk to downtown Chester, which has fun restaurants and shopping. We look forward to staying there again!

The home was very clean and well equipped. Very close to town which has some great restaurants. Exactly as described except the futon is actually a blow-up mattress. Owner was very accommodating and had great communication. Very cute town and lovely rental

The Millhouse is a lovely rental. Private and a very short walk to downtown Chester. The beaches are not far away and Gillette Castel close by. A nice relaxing place to stay.

Perfect location and family stay
This was a perfect property for our family of four. Chester is such a quaint town with cute shops and great restaurants within close walking distance of the property. The area felt safe and small enough for our older teens to venture out on their own without worry. The air mattress was easily inflated to accommodate one of our two teens (they don’t like to share space). AC was a little too cool during the day but great in the evenings when sleeping. All amenities were available. Overall this was a great, centrally located area with all the amenities of home in a charming historic town with great food and ice cream (Honeycomb). We would definitely stay again!

The house in general was small and dark. The front door was unlocked when we arrived. The door was indeed very hard to lock. The bedrooms were not air conditioned. There was a ceiling fan in one which could be used if you don't mind air blowing on you thru the night. There was a constant whirr sound perhaps coming from the ac at the restaurant across the little stream. The house was spotless.

Perfect stay!
This is a really lovely apartment, perfectly appointed. Very convenient one level with easy access from parking. Private since it is down a sloped driveway from the mill museum. Easy walking distance to town with many restaurants and galleries. We attended a wedding in Clinton and also toured around Essex, Mystic, Deep River, Gillette Castle (take the ferry!) and other towns in the area. Only 20 minutes to the coast. Very enjoyable stay!

Quiet Getaway
The property is lovely. All we needed was available for our stay. We could easily walk from the property to the main street in Chester. The location was perfect for visiting the other small towns in the area. We took advantage of the Chester-Hadlyme ferry to visit Gillette Castle State Park. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves very much.
