About this apartment rental
Birdsong is a handicap accessible apartment, which is attached to the west side of our house with beautiful views of the sunsets. We have 2 acres of land with lush gardens and a waterfall and lily pond. The cathedral ceiling apartment, with plenty of natural light, has an open floor plan of a living room, dining area and kitchen with a separate bedroom. The bedroom has a queen size bed with California closets, while the bathroom has a handicap accessible shower and sink. In the kitchen you will find everything you will need to create your own favorite meals. Have breakfast, lunch or dinner on the terrace in this tranquil setting, while listening to the waterfall of the pond. A gas grill is available for use.
The town of Madison, which is located on Long Island Sound, is a perfect destination for relaxing an exploring. Centrally located - New York City is 2 hours away while Boston is 2 ½ and New Haven twenty minutes. The train from the downtown station will connect you with all of these destinations, but why leave the quaint town of Madison. Stroll through the town center and you will find an Cinema, the renowned RJ Julia ‘s independent bookstore, coffee shops, a cheese shop, International and American restaurants, boutiques, a library, outdoor sculpture by nationally renowned artists and a large grocery store.
Joining us for the summer? As is typical of New England towns, there is a green in town, where you will find concerts, a farmer’s market, arts and crafts fairs and antique shows from May through September. On the 4th of July weekend, join the local fun watching the parade, relaxing at the Pops summer concert and watching the fireworks.
Madison’s beaches, as well as, Hammonasset State Park (beach), have playgrounds, tables and grills for picnicking, sports fields and bocce/pétanque courts. (We will provide the pétanque balls.)
There are trails throughout town where you can hike and a nature center for birding and learning about the local animals.
There are a myriad of things to do for those cool or rainy days. You might decide to follow the Impressionist or the wine trial throughout Connecticut, or you might visit one of the many museums, go shopping (there are 2 Outlet Centers within a 20 minute drive), go to the theater, listen to live music or visit one of the gambling casinos.

Birdsong is aptly named. The property is in a lovely setting on wooded acres, and the birds are singing all around. The feel of the space is even more spacious than the photos suggest. The unit is stocked with almost anything you might want, and on arrival you will be greeted with coffee and breakfast supplies, plus a bottle of both red and white wine. The location is very convenient to Madison, Hammonasset State Park, all along the shoreline and even to New Haven. Kathleen and Dean are helpful, gracious hosts. It is altogether a perfect setting for a relaxing stay.A couple of things you might want to know when deciding if it is the perfect place for you:-the mattress is very firm- while the WiFi is sometimes perfectly adequate for emailing and internet searches, it can be spotty and sometimes is too slow to be helpful and occasionally drops out completely. This is likely not the fault of the owners; that area can be tough for internet access- the apartment is beautifully light due to all of the windows and skylights, but there are no blinds or curtains so in the summer it will be light at sunrise.

Excellent stay. Host was very accommodating and provided muffins, coffee, wine & flowers which added to our comfort. Stayed for 3 days since we attended a wedding at Camp Laurelwood it was a great location to the camp and to area restaurants in Madison and Clinton. Would definitely stay again since the accommodations were roomy & very relaxing in a beautiful setting.

My second time to stay at Birdsong . Convenient location and scenic landscape. Friendly hosts . We loved the changing of the leaves. Fall foliage was breaktaking .
