The Artist's Treehouse
This luxury loft apartment has french doors opening onto a large treetop level deck overlooking a garden with pond and stream. It is in the heart of downtown Fairfield, a block away from the grocery store and 5 blocks from the town square. I (the owner of this 4 apartment building) am an artist and I designed this apartment for myself. It is both wonderful and a bit eccentric. The space is entirely open. but there is a part of the loft that forms a second room that is quite private; both visually and aurally separate from the rest of the space. Most adults have to bend over to enter the space. Check out the photographs. The deck has steps down to the garden which you are free to enjoy. Residential neighborhood. The house borders on an alley that has the feeling of a country lane. Easy peasey.... Half way between the town square and the university. One block down a country lane feeling alley to the grocery store. Easiest location. Free bikes for getting around or enjoying the 17 mile bike loop around Fairfield. All revenues will go toward welcoming refugees to Fairfield. Free bikes to explore Fairfield and the beautiful 17 mile bike loop that circles the town.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator and a stovetop. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Very relaxing evening. Enjoyed the local restaurant and the neighborhood setting.
What a cute, cozy and charming place to stay. My 15 and 12 year old loved the loft...it is something different that isnt offered in most places and they loved that! Kitchen and deck were wonderful too! We loved our stay! When we left the girls said "were going to miss this place"

This is a very creative use of space in an old house. We enjoyed the artistic nature of the decorations. Perhaps I didn't read the ad clearly enough but I thought we were renting a whole house, not an apartment. The layout is a bit odd with the closet area across the room from the bed and bath area - we were a bit disoriented at first. Upstairs the converted attic is large and can sleep 5 people but you have to duck quite low to get into the space and there were no windows or skylight in that portion. Even with all that, I would recommend it. Great location near the town square. The on-sight manager was very helpful, quickly.

We had a PERFECT stay at the Artist's Treehouse! The apartment was spotlessly clean, beautifully appointed, and close to great restaurants and shopping. We would absolutely stay again our next trip to Fairfield.

What a darling stay!
This rental was such a great space! My husband and I just got away for a night and it was a cute cozy space for the two of us. The space would also work for a family easily, plenty of spots up stairs perfect for a handful of kids. The space had all the necessities you would need besides personal items. Absolutely recommend!

served purposes well
I have not often used air B&Bs or VRBOs so would have liked a confirmation statement sooner than I received it. Not expecting charges to Tipsy Turtle so I was afraid I had been scammed. We thought too many appliances and lights had been plugged into extension cords but felt safer once we unplugged many. Well appointed and decorated.

Curl up with a book weekend
The property was a wonderful mix of little niches and spaces that lent themselves to reading and reflecting. Lots of places to move to if you had a larger group so everyone had their own space.Overall the space felt very cozy and welcoming
