About this property

This is an attached three-bedroom ranch with an eat-in kitchen and Sliders to a 13 x14 deck overlooking the large manicured shared backyard. Ceiling fans in every room,and air conditioning in two .Living Room has a new portable unit. It is a large driveway and large enough for a small boat or trailer to park as well. Covered front porch. Freshly renovated with new paint ,new bedding, brand new chiropractic care grade mattresses, granite counter-top in back bedroom, new kitchen flooring, new ceramic cook-top. Smoke-free and pet-free home. I promise you will have a clean odor free home to call your own during your stay. This is your space and has nothing personal of mine in the closets that you have to work around.... it is all yours to enjoy!!!!

Lots of Lighting in the backyard and motion lights on the front of the house so if you drive up during the dark the front porch will be lit up for your convenience. If you get in after dark I can have the house lights on for your arrival. I also have night lights in every room so if you wake up and don't know where you are you'll at least be able to see where you are. Feel free to unplug as needed.

Special events like Eastern States Exposition, Six Flags and the new MGM Casino in Springfield would definitely be worth the trip. Also kayaking ,canoeing fishing and tubing on the Farmington River or lake Congamond are quite popular as summer sports. Both just within 15 minutes.

Leaf peeping is exceptional in these Rolling Hills and Valleys, especially a hike to the Heublein Tower this time of year. Many walking trails nearby to explore for hours, such as Maclean Game Refuge, Enders State park, rails to trails, etc.

There is skiing in the winter in New Hartford Barkhamsted area which is only about 20 minutes away at Ski Sundown. I am about halfway between Hartford and Springfield. Rails to Trails is less than a half mile from my house and Eastern States Exposition is about a half an hour. The new MGM Casino is about 25 minutes away.

Check in is a breeze with no key needed, works by electronic code. Check out can be flexible if prearranged.The property has a 43" smart tv with dish cable and netflix for your viewing pleasure.If you subscribe to any TV services, you can log on here and see what you normally would many preloaded apps already installed on TV... Washer and dryer, new appliances, full kitchen with tons of storage. 10 minutes from Bradley Airport.

Nearby Suffield Academy, Westledge, Ethel Walkers, Masters School and many others are not very far...

Neighboring towns are Simsbury, East Granby, Suffield, Southwick, Bloomfield , Granville, close by Windsor Locks,

I do ihave different spectacular garden every year and I have many trellises birdhouses statues and many seating areas outside. Due to the fact that I have a very shy, but obedient dog ( who wont be a bother)and a shared back yard, other dogs are accepted by approval only.

Adorable Connecticut home

This home is by far one of, if not the best, properties we have rented off of VRBO. Very clean and well stocked it had everything we needed. Often you end up getting one garbage bag, a coffee filter and 1 squirt of dish soaked, but Dianne has all the bases covered for you ahead of time. Dianne is quick to communicate and answer any questions you may have. The back yard is beautiful and was the perfect place to sit and drink our morning coffee and listen to the birds sing. There is a little grocery store and restaurants just down the road don’t let the gps fool you! Also, lots of hiking and nature walks near by as well. We will definitely be using Dianne’s property again! Highly recommend.

Convenient and Cozy

We stayed at Dianne's place when our whole family got together in Granby. It was very well appointed and very comfortable. It's also seconds from a grocery store, Starbucks, bagels and some restaurants! We really just needed beds for several nights but also enjoyed hanging out there. Perfect place!

Grandby favorite!

Dianne's VRBO is really a comfy, cozy, welcoming and detailed thought- out stay; truly a home away from home. Everything to stay comfortably for a week or more and just around the corner from groceries and restaurants. What a pleasure, this will be our first selection from now on. Thanks, Dianne

About the host

Hosted by dianne

You can check in at your convenience without me having to be here.I will give you a 4 digit numeric code for my SCHLAGE lock, and you can let yourself in... Code is changed after every guest. I will be available after work hours and close by if you need me. This property is like a duplex. Owner lives on the other side, yet you have total privacy.

I will strive to may your stay the best it can be and are attentive to your needs and special requests. I am easily reachable at all times or will respond quickly if you cant catch me live.

Why they chose this property

I am close to town so you could walk there in 2 minutes! Also within 15 minutes to Lake Congamond which has 2 public boat launches. 6 miles to Bradley airport for quick overnight stays, as well. Halfway in between Hartford and Springfield, 30 min from Eastern States Fairground.

Granby is a HIP Cool Town with lots to offer the hiker, boater, or scenery seeker, but also has SOOO many cool restaurants, and live music and special events for the adventure seekers, Covid has made us better with more ( safe) variety, just ask me about the special events, because they change weekly !

RAILS TO TRAILS is a very wide bicycle path which goes about 45 miles through many scenic areas and towns with lots of shade and scenery.It is the old railroad track which has been resurfaced. There are many parking areas alongside the path, and it is about 1/2 mile from my house.

I have a beautiful and expansive manicured backyard for you to enjoy from the back deck ...or beyond! Plenty of meditative private areas with night lighting if you want your privacy, or just go veg in the gameroom downstairs to get away and have your private area. I am animal and bird friendly, so I dont put chemicals onmy lawn to make it look flawless, but there are birdfeeders on the bathroom garden windows ! So I bring nature right to you ! Come see and enjoy the beauty of my lovely yard !
