About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning Artisan Waterfall Escape [Walk to Downtown]

Over ten years of work went into creating a work of art using more than 80% recycled building materials known locally as "The Recycle House". The perfect place to stay while you explore all the shops and galleries in downtown Chester just a few steps away. When you are done shopping, come back and relax in the zen like garden overlooking a waterfall or curl up inside and read a book by the gas fire place. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is the place. The property advertised is the entire house split into 2 suites with separate entry ways on lower and main levels.

Magical Wedding Getaway
We were lucky enough to stay at this property and get ready for our small wedding. We took photos in the beautiful outdoor space and inside the perfectly unique house. It's a space that has to be experienced for yourself. So very grateful to have made our memories here. Can't recommend anywhere more romantic.

Fall get away
The house is so unique and wondeful. We took alot of pictures of the house, property and town you walk to. We loved this stop on our trip and stayed 3 days which was a little short for the area. The owner was responsive and had great communication. I would only change one thing, the couch is not comfortable. Everything else, way above average.

Property was perfect for our needs.. part of our family stayed upstairs while we stayed downstairs. Completely separate units, but we could meet for breakfast at the Villager every morning. The downstairs could use a dehumidifier as it tended to smell a little mildewed

Great Vacation!
Beautiful and relaxing place to stay! Great farmers' market on Sundays just down the hill. And we coincidentally stayed here while the nearby brewery held their 5th anniversary so there was a downtown block party! Super fun! Great little shops and restaurants within walking distance. Loved checking out all of the recycled materials used to create this home. Elderly parents stayed in the lower apartment since the stairs to the bedroom upstairs are steep (stone steps to the lower apartment were a little tricky for them to navigate but they did great!). My sister & I stayed in the upstairs apartment where the deck was great for us to all hang out and relax. We'll definitely be back! Host was very responsive and helpful! The Chester Historical Museum was a great find (just across the river; you can see it from the back yard) and we drove up to the Essex steam train & boat. The boat had a great narration. Also stopped at Gillette Castle!
