10/10 Excellent

This was an amazing stay. Renee is a great host. She is clean, personable, and professional. The home is very cozy, and while still a work in progress, the outdoor area is beautiful and teeming with potential. This is not a hotel or a motel, understanding this, do not expect the starchy atmosphere of those places, but instead appreciate the friendly, homely vibe. If you’re looking for somewhere reasonably priced, clean, and cozy, this is a great spot.

Arrived and wasn't let in. Was told it was "already" booked. Out $110 in need of a hotel late at night. Lovely!

Nice find for the price!

The hostess Rene was very friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable bed and linens. I was pleasantly surprised that I had my own toilet. It was nice to have access to the kitchen and living room.
connie, 1-night trip

Not a great experience

This "stay" was an overbooking from the site. Therefore, I never set foot in the facility!! The manager, Rene, did contact another hotel to get me lodging for the night, at $50 more than I had paid!! I sincerely doubt that I would ever return to this facility. I am hoping that my refund is processed by Experia (I did purchase the trip insurance, thank God!!).

Great place

We really liked the house, the host and atmosphere. I would say would be nice to add some milk and coffee in the kitchen, so guests can use it.

Love the homey feel 10/10

Best stay ever !!! Felt like I was family , she cooked us breakfast in the morning and also offered lunch and dinner , and also addressed that every Wednesday was laundry day and it was included with our stay, and told us if we pay for two days that we have the option to stay the third day free of charge

Amazing bed and breakfast in a quiet suburb

This is a wonderful, affordable place to stay tucked away in a quiet suburb. Renee was absolutely incredible and made sure that we were taken care of. She was gracious and hospitable in an unparalleled fashion. The rooms themselves are well kept and quiet. I am used to having to pay far more for the incredible value I got from this place. Can't recommend them enough! Whenever I come back to Connecticut, THIS is the ONLY place I'll ever consider staying.
Andrew, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Booked “Bed and Breakfast” pictures on booking showed a beautiful pool as well as listed pool under amenities. Upon arrival “my face said it all”. I was less than impressed and the pictures and reality were very different. We were told no refund that the pictures seen on the site were not suppose to be there and were given excuses that it was not a bed and breakfast as advertised. It was for traveling nurses. If you are looking for a cheap bed to crash then I suppose you can stay, but if you are looking for anything as described in the description or expect anything from the pictures be aware it will not be the same as the pictures when you arrive. It’s a scam the agreement with Expedia is if you walk in the door which you will and be seen on the camera. That constitutes as checking in. Their policy states that if you “check in” for no reason at all will you ever get a refund. But the only way to see you have been scammed and the pictures are not what you booked is to enter the house and then the things you will see will Shock you. Rene will comment they are under renovations, she will cover the scam by saying this place is for traveling nurses. She will make every excuse in the book as to why the house is not as expected. She even blamed the IT department for uploading incorrect pictures. The house smells awful and is in unsafe conditions.

Shower did not really have any pressure and fixtures were very dated There Do not signs everywhere It is a house that serves breakfast for an hour, not a bed and breakfast Cameras in the kitchen

2/10 Terrible

Horrible horrible treatment. I asked to stay another night, they rejected my stay and threw my items out to the street. When I entered the lobby to get my things, they threatened me with aggressive behavior. Unsafe hotel that should not be on Expedia.

2/10 Terrible

I had to arrive late. Didn’t receive check in email as indicated on reservation instructions. The phone number doesn’t work and when I contacted Expedia Jays Ranch called me told me to call when I arrived. They didn’t answer my call. I sat outside on a dark street at 1030pm and waited for 15 mins. I finally left and had to find a place to sleep. They won’t give me a refund. Very bad. Don’t go there!
Kirstin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We called weeks ahead to cancel but they would not waive charge according to Expedia. So we did not stay at Jays Ranch but forgot to cancel also. Staff was very nice to call us next day to see why we didn’t show up and they knew about the refusal of credit denial. Staff felt bad because there had been a mix up on us being denied refund. So they wanted to give us a free stay or give us our money back. Because we chose not to stay I told them no need for refund because we forgot to cancel so was our fault. They were very kind to do all of this.
Sharon, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Not what I was expecting. Inside seemed sort of nice but outside was unkempt. A room with private bath in someone's house, not what I would consider a ranch or bed and breakfast. I don't like last minute changes. Please post rules of house in the listing: Required photos of drivers licenses of all parties. Parking on the street. No shoes in the house. I guess for the price I should have known better. Didn't like the vibe. We decided to just leave immediately, find a better place, and lose our "non-refundable" payment.
