Peaceful Winter Rental on the Niantic River There's something awfully nice about having a quiet place to settle in when the days get shorter. This furnished winter rental overlooks the Niantic River and offers a comfortable setting for an Mid-September-to-May stay, with some flexibility in the rental period. Large windows bring the river right into the living room, where a gas-log fireplace adds a warm spot to settle in with a book, a cup of coffee, or simply enjoy the view. Keep an eye out for loons and eagles from the living room or from the large upstairs bedroom. The sunny kitchen and main-floor laundry make everyday living easy, while the home's thoughtful furnishings and well-cared-for condition make it ready to enjoy from the day you arrive. The property is fully furnished. Electric, cable/internet, and water are included. Tenant responsible for oil & propane. A comfortable seasonal home with beautiful river views, a cozy fireplace, and the sort of peaceful setting that makes winter in New England feel just right. No smoking or vaping permitted. Pet terms are subject to owner approval and applicable rental requirements.
